He realizes that the HTML is malformed. His question is really why does Xpath seem to work (reports success) when the html is malformed.

The report says : Message No button found Details available buttons In HtmlForm[<form action="/data/postalCodeSelect.do" name="postalCodeSelectForm" id="postalCodeSelectForm" onsubmit="add(); return false;" method="POST">]: [HtmlButtonInput[<input value="Search" type="button" class="button" onclick="searchPostalCodes();">]] My main question though is, when I use Xpath to click the button why does the window not close like it is supposed to? And, is this a bug in xpath?

Button not found? In this case this would mean that the result of parsing your malformed html code causes the button to be seen outside of the form. This would explain why it can be found by xpath //[EMAIL PROTECTED]'submit'] (but probably not by xpath //form//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'submit']) but that the click doesn't produce any result. To see what HtmlUnit "sees", you can dump the page state to the console (at debug level) with something like <groovy> println step.context.currentResponse.asXml() </groovy> Marc. -- Blog: http://mguillem.wordpress.com Soula, William wrote: > Below is the html from a webpage I am trying to test.
