Objection! ;-) HTML output trims spaces -- I've run into a few bugs because of this. I'd much rather the default do the trimming just like HTML display. You should create assertUntrimmedText. (The other reason, of course, is that changing semantics is usually a Bad Idea and requires considerable justification -- I don't think you've met that standard yet.) -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ The way to build large Python applications is to componentize and loosely-couple the hell out of everything. _______________________________________________ Selenium-devel mailing list Selenium-devel@lists.public.thoughtworks.org http://lists.public.thoughtworks.org/mailman/listinfo/selenium-devel
