Jevon, Thanks for your thoughts. I realized that I did in fact need a simpler page to test to make sure that I am correctly using NicelyResynchronizingAjaxController. Using a very simple page, and setting the html of an element, shows that Ajax is in fact working from within JWebUnit/HtmlUnit (using NicelyResynchronizingAjaxController). Thank you for helping me simplify and verify.
NOTE: getPageSource() returns the original page source, before the html element has been modified (as does the browser), so this is not a trustworthy test. However, a call to assertTextPresent() will pass for the new text, and fail for the old text, which is what I would expect. In my test, a slight change of code for registering the function call seemed to make the test fail, so I need to look deeper into this. We are using jQuery, and I am not sure exactly where things are going wrong such that newer text is not able to be found in my more complicated pages. I will need to do some more testing, cutting out most things, and see where it is going wrong. Thanks again.
