 will reject any that are not. JTidy can display error messages to tell you what is wrong. To see them, 
 call <code>HttpUnitOptions.setParserWarningsEnabled( true )</code> before retrieving your HTML page. 
 Once you have corrected any errors, HttpUnit should see your form buttons.

+<A NAME="#reload"><H2>Why do I get java.lang.IllegalAccessError when calling getResponse()?</H2></A>
+This happens when you use HttpUnit and JTidy with one of the JUnit graphical test runners, which reloads 
+classes every time to run a test. Unfortunately, this places different versions of the JTidy
+classes in different class loaders, so you get this error.  To avoid it,
+you can do any of the following:<ul><li>Use only the text test runner</li>
+<li>Disable all class reloading in JUnit by adding "loading=false" to <tt>junit.properties</tt> in your current directory</li>
+<li>Disable reloading of HttpUnit and JTidy by adding the following lines to <tt>excluded.properties</tt> in junit.jar<blockquote><code>
+excluded.10=com.meterware.httpunit.*<br>
+excluded.11=org.w3c.tidy.*
+</code></blockquote>
+This will require extracting the file, modifying it and then putting it back <em>in the same directory</em>, but it should allow your
+tests to reload safely.</ul>
