Hi Marc, I just managed to narrow down the problem: It has something to do with how a clickelement-step is used in a test. I try to explain it: When you use clickElement with an xpath attribute (see example below), the internal StoreElementAttribute.findElement method returns the (xml or html) decoded version of the HtmlElement. (And that is WRONG!) I wrote my own clickelement step where I simply dump the HtmlElement with toString. If I use clickElement with htmlid instead, the HtmlElement contains the correct (not) decoded version.
Our real world scenario is this - I hope I can explain that with a few sentences: We try to click a link that has an onclick attribute. The onclick attribute contains a functioncall with " for the double quotes of the function parameters. The htmlcode for link itself is not in the page when the page is delivered but inserted afterwards via an async call. The insert happens by setting the innerHTML of a div in the original page. If you save my sample html code to a file and use firefox to inspect the code you will see that everything is ok. But with webtest (I used build 1705 an 1714) you will get a java script error saying that this is invalid javascript code: This is the webtest error from our project: JavaScript error loading page http://localhost:8081/backend/page/list.htm: syntax error (onclick event for HtmlAnchor[<a href="#" onclick="var ret; ret=funcxy(this," editpage="">]#2) Instead of the quote (") there should be " in the string after funcxy(this, ! I think this a bug in webtest itself- what do you mean?
