I am trying to test an application where one of the pages contains an
iframe. I use followFrame and then set various text fields, radio buttons,
and checkboxes. This seems to all work fine. The page is submitted in steps.
There is a button on the main page whose onclick handler submits the iframe.
The result of the iframe submission then invokes a submit on the form for
the main page.

To get to the submit button after setting the iframe fields, I use
<followFrame name="_top" />. I set a select and then use <clickButton .. ./>
on the appropriate button. All is fine; however what is submitted from the
iframe is a series of input items that contain no content. In particular
they do not contain the data that was set after the <followFrame . /> to the
iframe.

I am assuming that I am doing something wrong but I haven't a clue what. Can
anybody shed any light? I am using R_1353.

In a similar vein, I have seen mention that the combination of webtest and
htmlunit I am using supports ajax interaction. Are there any examples of how
this is done?

Thanks

Richard Berens
