Well, the site I'm testing generates JavaScript menus. And since the app 
runs on a IBM Portal Server all the URLs are dynamically generated. At 
startup all the menu items are loaded into a JS array and only added to 
the DOM on mouseover. Hence, DOM-based operations are not applicable.

So, I want to parse all the navigation links out of that crappy JS code 
(the number of links varies), invoke each link, and do a few general 
tests on each page navigated to.

Constraints: can't use XPath (see first paragraph), need to use regex, 
don't know the max. repeat count, don't want hard-code menu item labels 
(i.e. parts of regex) in test script.

Regards,
Marcel
