All the checks prior to the META tag have single entries in the page. If there are more than two META tags and the page is not well formed, is it possible that Webtest gets stuck after the first META is found? Or it leaves the XPath pointer at the end of the first META node so that the next queries do not go back to the top of the document?

Is the asserted value and test value not matching or is something else going no behind the scenes? I tried running some webtests on your site but was unable to connect - I thought I had the proxy set correctly but I receive a connection refused. If I remember, I'll run the test from home tonight. I have noticed some strange behaviors when running tests against HTML that really up to a good standard. Would it be possible to isolate the HTML in a new page with proper code? Just a snippet should help you out.

This evaluates exactly how I'd expect when using webtest recorder, so I assume that my xpath is proper (syntactically at least). But this very same xpath results in a failure in webtest. I can go to the saved page linked in the webtest report and the xpath works in both xpather and the xpath tool in webtest recorder. Even the simplest of xpaths, such as "//a" or //div" fail in webtest but not in xpather or the xpath tool in webtest recorder. After putting the page through htmltidy, it was a little closer to valid, though I still got the same behavior with valid xpaths failing in webtest. Could valid xpaths failing in webtest be the result of non-compliant html?
