Hi Brian,

	First you need to generate a test case (that generates some dynamic
HTML based on a javascript event (like a button push). Then the test
case needs to use web unit to drive the page, pressing the button, and
then trying to do something else on the generated html (like pressing a
button)  This will cover the dynamic HTML test case.

	The second part you should probably have all the events that you will
need but if not we can add an API to generate all the HTML events for
each HTML component which will allow you to generate all events without
having to modify web-unit.

	So you have two options on how to get this done:

	1) You can code it yourself (its not too hard).

	OR
	
	2) You can send us the test case and we can add/fix code to make sure
it works. This method depends on us having some free time to code this
up. Erik seems to have more time than I do these days. However, it
should take 1-2 weeks to do it worst case (very conservative estimate).
