[Httpunit-develop] Problem with page using Javascript/VB script

[Unchis, D. <DU...@co...>]

Hi all,

We have several pages that use Visual Basic's MsgBox - instead of
javascript's confirm(msg):


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript TYPE="text/vbscript">
<!--
Function makeMsgBox(title,mess,icon,buts,defbut,mods)
   butVal = buts + (icon*16) + (defbut*256) + (mods*4096)
   makeMsgBox = MsgBox(mess,butVal,title)
End Function
-->
</script>

The makeMsgBox function is called in some javascript:

function newConfirm(title,mess,icon,defbut,mods) {
  
      icon = (icon==0) ? 0 : 2;
      defbut = (defbut==0) ? 0 : 1;
      retVal = makeMsgBox(title,mess,icon,4,defbut,mods);
      retVal = (retVal==6);
  
      return retVal;
}


When the pages are run with httpunit they blow up. I've set
"HttpUnitOptions.setExceptionsThrownOnScriptError( false );" and I no longer
get the erros, but then the page does not save the data to the database
since newConfirm is part of the page validation on a save. Is there anyway
to write something in httpunit to handle this? (I've placed the error
below.)

Thanks.
Debbie
