I agree. Inserting methods into the base class seems to be
working fine, and it's the least messy of the alternatives. I'd
submit a patch for ClientForm, but I don't know if my
definition of "equal" for a form/control is generally useful
enough to warrant being added to the package.
FWIW, I'm using it for automated regression-testing on a
product containing a web server. Basically, I perform an
operation on the product, and then check to make sure that only
certain web pages/form/controls changed in the manner they
should have.
