[Webtest] [Fwd: XmlHttpRequest: page text doesn't change after ajax call though it should.]

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi,

if the text you want to verify doesn't contain markup, you can use for
instance
<verifyXPath xpath="contains(string(.), 'your text')"/>

I open a new thread to discuss verifyText & AJAX.

Cheers,
Marc.
