I have only been on this mailing list for a couple of days and I don't know
what I can expect in terms of the time it might take to get any answer. This
is especially true given the time lag between me (US pacific) and most of
the contributors. I will therefore ask the question again in case it slipped
through.

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?

Some of this could probably have the same answer as the questions asked by
Michael Knapp concerning JSON.

Thanks

Richard Berens
