Hi Doug,
>From previous tests that I have done, when I got those errors, it was due to
Webtest not being able to parse certain Javascript on that page. On all
occasions, the Javascript that it was trying to parse was I.E. specific and
not supported by the W3C standard.
I guess the Javascript parser within Webtest follows the W3C standard.
I cannot seem to access the link that you provided, so I cannot look at the
code to give you a specific reason on why it failed.
What I did to overcome the problem was to dynamically replace the offending
code with W3C code by intercepting the Response before it got parsed by
Webtest.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Lawrence.

Subject: [Webtest] REPOSTING: What component is throwing this error?
Hello,
I am new to WebTest and am already very interested in learning more but have
run into a problem and have not been successful understanding which
component is throwing the error. I have seen this same exact error from two
different websites under test. Is this a javascript error or webtest or ...?
The error:
BUILD FAILED
C:\webtest\doc\doc\samples\mywebsiteTest.xml:11: Canoo Webtest: R_1357.
Test failed.
Test step clickButton (C:\webtest\doc\doc\samples\mywebsiteTest.xml:43: )
named
"Click the submit button" failed with message "Step[clickButton "Click the
subm
it button" (6/12)]: Script error loading page executing webtest at:
clickButton
TypeError: Cannot read property "options" from null
(https://trading.mywebsite.c <https://trading.mywebsite.c/>
om/common/StockOrderEntry.js#78)
Source code:
function () {
[native code, arity=0]
}
"
Total time: 5 seconds
Can anyone shed any light on where I should start?
Thanks
Doug
