[Httpunit-develop] Suggestion : Getting a table by it's id attribute?

[Mathieu G. <MGe...@no...>]

Hi,

  I might have missed similar functionnality, but I had an idea to
facilitate access to tables : add a method to get a table based on the id
attribute.

   webResponse.getTableWithId(String id)

 This method would recurse into nested tables as needed to return the first
table that has that id has an attribute.

  for example 

  webResponse.getTableWithId("quote") 

  would enable to easily get the following table :

  <table id="quote">
   ...stuff...
   </table>

 The advantage would be easy access to any table, not depending on content
of the table, so the content might actually change without breaking unit
tests written with HTTPUnit.

  I took the idea from the Enhydra XMLC project (a kind of template engine,
java-based) who uses id attributes to find wanted elements from HTML
templates.

 What do you think?
