Make sure and read through that nabble thread Greg linked to. When it's all said and done, each project is different and each developer will have a different notion of how unit testing should be done. Even though it was a heated argument mostly between Greg and I, I can see since that thread that people often want this type of functionality and I'm the kind of guy that isn't going to try to waste cycles trying to convince everyone... So if you like his approach, go for it. If you are on the other side of the fence then take a look at selenium or jwebunit... Either approach will skin the cat, it's up to you and the other people on your project which method you choose. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc. Need Training?
