Having something like "assertImageExists(url)" is not without utility, but I think it would be more flexible and useful to say "assertImageIsValid(String xpath)" -- this decouples the test from the physical implementation (I.E. I don't need to know where the image lives in the document heirarchy, just where it winds up on the page). Having it be a separate framework is bothersome because then I need to either integrate it with jWebUnit or duplicate testing efforts. -JF ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
