Hi guys, I asked the following on the webdriver forum: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/webdriver/5WdDJsiyAzc/discussion
Kristian mailed me the following below which I find interesting. WDYT? Since I'm not know a prototype expert could someone knowledgable tell me if this can be done? (I've found http://www.prototypejs.org/api/ajax/responders but not sure if it's enough for us).
