Hi,
That would certainly make me happy! This causes problems in my testing.
I guess there is a way to code this using verifyXPath, which has the
advantage over verifyText that it will handle DHTML updates to the style. If
we can figure out the correct XPath then I guess that could be made into a
custom step initially, and then perhaps a standard one.
regards,
John
