Ahmed,

I've been using HtmlUnit for a while and am not new to this testing framework and have scraped couple of websites some with https, and with much complexity as well.

But I've always disabled the javascript and used before but now i want to enable js and use it ...i tried with Selenium which is working but I needto download the file content as in HtmlUnit - click().getWebResponse().getContentAsString();  but i can't use it in selenium like this ..

so again I hadto use the Htmlunit to simulate this js event / function call...

as in my first posted email - it can't find the javascript method when i click that button ?

could you send me an architectural flow for htmlunit vs javascript - some examples which actually calling a simple js method from an application - calling from a htmlunit?

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks,

Kumar.

Hi Ahmed,

Thanks for the reply.

I was actually just clicking a button to get some table results within a page - it was not updated the table data when i disabled the javascript so now i enabled the javascript and doing the same click button but it doesn't work though - throws error like it can't find the javascript method which is being called when i click the button ...

I was not calling the javascript funtion directly - even though i did try but it was not working anyway

Is there a template or something that I can use to give you a minimal case or example - since I'm new to this email lists - i do not know much of the process

let me know if the above information isn't enough?

Thanks,

Kumar.
