Re: [Htmlunit-user] HtmlUnit XPath vs. Chrome Console

[asashour <asa...@ya...>]

Hi,

- You may need to wait a little more [1].
- I hope you compare the XPath in both HtmlUnit and real Chrome (using
document.evalute [2])
- You can print page.asXml() to see what HtmlUnit sees.
- Otherwise, you need to post your complete case, hopefully minimal.
