RE: [Httpunit-develop] problem with hidden field

[<Eri...@al...>]

I'm running into this same problem with hidden fields.

There is a JUnit test to verify that
hidden fields CANNOT be changed.

Why does this testcase exist?  Part of html spec?
We set hidden fields on a regular basis as part of our framework, and ie
doesn't complain.

For those interested, here is the test case from
test/com/meterware/httpunit/WebFormTest.java

    public void testHiddenParameters() throws Exception {
        defineWebPage( "Default", "<form method=3DPOST action =3D
\"/servlet/Login\">" +
                                  "<Input name=3D\"secret\"
type=3D\"hidden\" value=3D\"surprise\">" +
                                  "<br><Input name=3Dtypeless
value=3Dnothing>" +
                                  "<B>Enter the name 'master': <Input
type=3DTEXT Name=3Dname></B>" +
                                  "<br><Input type=3Dsubmit value =3D =
\"Log
in\">" +
                                  "</form>" );

        WebResponse page =3D _wc.getResponse( getHostPath() +
"/Default.html" );
        WebForm form =3D page.getForms()[0];
        assertEquals( 3, form.getParameterNames().length );

        WebRequest request =3D form.getRequest();
        assertEquals( "surprise", request.getParameter( "secret" ) );
        assertEquals( "nothing", request.getParameter( "typeless" ) );
        form.setParameter( "secret", "surprise" );
        assertEquals( "surprise", request.getParameter( "secret" ) );

        try {
            form.setParameter( "secret", "illegal" );
            fail( "Should have rejected change to hidden parameter
'secret'" );
        } catch (IllegalRequestParameterException e) {
        }

        assertEquals( "surprise", request.getParameter( "secret" ) );
    }

There is some javascript support in the cvs version, now.
However, there is *no* testcase to deal with onsubmit and hidden fields.
There is one to deal with onsubmit and NON hidden fields.
I altered it to use hidden fields, and it failed.

Here is the test cases:
com.meterware.httpunit.javascript#testFormValidationOnSubmit
