[jQuery] ANNOUNCE: HtmlUnit 2.4 now supports jQuery 1.2.6
Happy New Year everyone!
It is a pleasure to announce the new release of the GUI-Less browser,
which allows high-level manipulation of web pages, such as filling
forms, clicking links, accessing attributes and values of specific
elements within the pages, you do not have to create lower-level
requests of TCP/IP or HTTP, but just getPage(url), find a hyperlink,
click() and you have all the HTML, JavaScript, and Ajax are
automatically processed.
The most common use of HtmlUnit is test automation of web pages (even
with complex JavaScript libraries, like jQuery and Google Web
Toolkit), but sometimes it can be used for web scraping, or
downloading website content.
The main enhancements in this release:
- Improved JavaScript support, now all jQuery and Mochikit tests
pass, adding to already supported GWT and Sarissa
- Native ActiveX support
- Initial applet handling
- Internet Explorer conditional comments
- As usual, various bug fixes
If you are not familiar with Java, you can define navigation steps by
XML (e.g. http://webtest.canoo.com)
You can find more information in the official website (http://
htmlunit.sourceforge.net/), the development team is looking forward
to
getting your feedback.
