Re: [Htmlunit-user] A question about the HTML objects generated by Javascript

[David D.K. <ddk...@ki...>]

I strongly recommend adding unique "id" attributes to the HTML output 
by the JavaScript, then finding the HTML DOM objects using the IDs with 
the APIs provided by Htmlunit.  This is much easier (and less 
error-prone) than relying on the structure of the document to find the 
tags you're looking for.

And if you need to verify text on a page, use SPAN tags with a unique 
"id" attribute, too.
