[JWebUnit-users] Re : assertCheckboxPresent works but checkCheckbox fails

[Julien H. <he...@ya...>]

Hi Gible,

Thanks for the feedback, there is probably something to improve here in order to 
have a more consistent behavior.

Please note that checkCheckbox will internally call assertCheckboxPresent so you 
can simplify your code by removing your call. [1]

When there a re several forms in your page it's always a good thing to say on 
which one you are working, especially when identifying elements by name (as it 
is allowed to have duplicate name across forms in HTML).

Regards,

Julien
