[JWebUnit-users] Dom generated by ajax calls onDomReady are not visible to JWebUnit

[Eve Sun]

I am using JWebUnit + HtmlUnit to functional test the webpage.

I currently encounter one problem that some dynamic added dom with content
provided by async calls from OnDomReady are not visible to the testscript.
the getPageSource() does not show these doms. More interesting, loading IE7
or firefox for the same page, by clicking "View Page Source", these doms are
not presented either, however, firebug and IE developer Tool can show these
elements without problems.

Any idea how to solve this issue using HtmlUnit?

Thanks

The javascript on that page is like below:


YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(function(){GenreAlbums.init();});

var GenreAlbums = {
    ul : null,
    url : null,
    args : null,
    sortLinks : null,
    init : function() {
        this.ul = YAHOO.util.Dom.get('genreAlbums').getElementsByTagName('ul');
        this.sortLinks =
YAHOO.util.Dom.get('genreSortToolbar').getElementsByTagName('a');

        for (var i = 0; i < this.sortLinks.length; i++) {
           
YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(this.sortLinks[i],'click',GenreAlbums.checkActiveLink,this.sortLinks[i],true);
        }
        this.getNewReleases();
    },
    getAsync : function() {
        var params = 'genreId=g.6';
        var connection =
YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest("POST",this.url,{success:function(res){
            GenreAlbums.callback.call(null,res,GenreAlbums.args);
            }},params);
    },
    getNewReleases : function() {
        this.url = PAGE_CONTEXT + '/listNewReleasesForGenre.html';
        this.callback = GenreAlbums.drawAlbums;
        this.getAsync();

    },

  drawAlbums : function(res) {
        GenreAlbums.clearData();
        var obj =  eval("(" + res.responseText + ")");

        for (var i=0; i < 12; i++) {
            if (obj.albums[i]) {
            var albumImg = new
Element('img',{'src':obj.albums[i].imageUrl,'alt':obj.albums[i].name});
            var albumLink = new
Element('a',{'class':'albumimg','href':'/cinnamon-snapshot/album/album.html?albumId='
+ obj.albums[i].id}).update(albumImg);

            var li = new Element('li').update(albumLink);

            var albumNameLink = new
Element('a',{'href':'/cinnamon-snapshot/album/album.html?albumId=' +
obj.albums[i].id}).update(truncate(obj.albums[i].name,16,true));
            var albumName = new
Element('span',{'class':'albumname'}).update(albumNameLink);

            var artistNameLink = new
Element('a',{'href':'/cinnamon-snapshot/artist/artist.html?artistId='
+ obj.albums[i].artistId}).update(truncate(obj.albums[i].artistName,16,true));
            var artistName = new
Element('span',{'class':'aritstname'}).update(artistNameLink);
            li.appendChild(albumName);
            li.appendChild(artistName);
            li.appendChild(GenreAlbums.createAlbumRollover(i));
            GenreAlbums.ul[0].appendChild(li);
            }
        }
    },

}
