maybe a 'force' attribute?
That would make sense if every test step we are thinking of
had both direct user and indirect forced modes of operation.
I don't think there would ever be a direct user mode for:
forceHiddenInputField
forceInputFieldAttribute
In both these cases the direct user mode is something else
which when used "directly" triggers the JavaScript we are
trying to bypass. I think it is worth making it obvious that
we are reaching behind the normal browser user interface and
tweaking state information inside our browser emulator.
Cheers, Paul.

yes, but isn't that already covered by the word 'hidden'?
Possibly in this case it might be enough but then what to name:
forceClickButton if we wanted to allow users to click a disabled button
forceSetField if we wanted to allow the user to change a read-only field
etc.
Except that all other setXXX, clickXXX steps correspond to the user
clicking on a link, button, checkbox, or typing in some text, etc.
There is NOTHING that the user could ever do to force changing
the hidden field directly. Nothing to click, type, no menu option etc.
They can only do it indirectly when they eventually tricker some whacky
JavaScript handler.
I see your point, though.
Hm, don't know. I'm too tired and need to go to the next session.
cheers
