Hi again, Am close to having a patch to propose - it currently uses the src and alt attributes of an image to identify it, but that can probably be improved (maybe by using a (partial) xpath expression to allow more flexibility), but I have to quick questions: - how can I the current URL of a given 'window' / the current 'context' ? ideally from WebTester. If not, I guess I'll have to rely on the plugin implementation to determine that. (Because I need to get the URL of an image, relative to the page under test, not relative to the context) - how do you prefer the patch submitted? Do you guys use the sourceforge stuff, or have a jira instance somewhere?
