[Htmlunit-user] javascript mutation of pages

[Casey C. <cra...@na...>]

I have a page where I'm moving elements from one widget to another via
javascript:

(Pardon the ascii art)

[Select-Many] [Button -> ]      [ Select-Many Results       |
                                |                           |
[Select-Many] [Button -> ]      | (across all items on left)|
                                |                           |
[TextField]   [Button -> ]      |                           ]

[Button: OK]


The select-many's are prefilled with possible results, the text field
lets you manually add results.

Each of the buttons labelled -> moves the item from the respective
field over to the Results select; this is done using javascript.

What I'm trying to do using htmlunit is fill in the text field; click
the corresponding button to add it to the results, then click OK.

This doesn't work for me (no error, just no change is made when I run
the test).


I've tried using the following: mainform.submit("name-of-button");
(both catching the return and using it and ignoring the return value)

and

(ClickableElement) getHtmlElementById("id-of-button") .click() (both
catching the return and using it; as well as ignoreing the return
value).


Is there some way to get javascript mutation of a HtmlPage/HtmlForm to work?

To add further complication; the -> buttons are disabled until there
is an entry selected in the appropriate select-many or there is text
in the text-field.
