When executing getElementsByXPath("//tr") I get back 88 matches.
But it gets more interesting:
The following (from my original clickElementByXPath) returns zero matches:
getElementsByXPath("//tr[@id='genTabViewId:genTabFrm:availableGroups:source::0']");
But this returns what I'm looking for (only changed "tr" to "*"):
getElementsByXPath("//*[@id='genTabViewId:genTabFrm:availableGroups:source::0']");
This is what the debugger returns when Inspecting the return value of the above
statement - you can see it is a "tr":
[IElement[name=tr wrapped=HtmlTableRow[<tr class="rich-picklist-source-row"
id="genTabViewId:genTabFrm:availableGroups:source::0">]]]
I would expect consistent results when calling both of these getElementsByXPath
methods. What's going on?
Thanks.

Hi,
I can't look at the JWebUnit source right now, but it sounds like
getPageSource() just dumps out the original source of the page, i.e.
without Javascript DOM modifications, whereas page.asXml() dumps the
runtime content of the page itself, i.e. after Javascript/AJAX has
modified the page. Or perhaps the source page does not validate, thus
some of the elements are lost.
What happens if you execute getElementsByXPath("//tr")?
Cheers
Jevon
