This implies also that all the HtmlForm methods for searching elements now working based on the getElements() method (also searching for elements associated to the form based on the 'form' attribute. rbri

Release 2.3 – Sept 16, 2008

Type Changes By
Update Better generics: avoid the need for casting when calling methods like WebClient.getPage(), HtmlPage.getHtmlElementById(), ... NOTE: This change avoids casting so that code like 'HtmlImage e = (HtmlImage) page.getHtmlElementById("myImage")' can be written as 'HtmlImage e = page.getHtmlElementById("myImage")'. HOWEVER, due to a bug in Sun Java 5 compiler (fixed in Java 6 and not existing for instance in Eclipse), calling directly a method from the base return type without assigning the result to a variable will produce a compilation error. A simple workaround consists in changing code like 'page.getHtmlElementById("foo").asText()' to 'page.&lt;HtmlElement&gt;getHtmlElementById("foo").asText()' (or assigning the result of the 'getHtmlElementById("foo")' call to an intermediate variable). asashour

Update Changed all tests to use MockWebConnection instead of FakeWebConnection. The FakeWebConnection class has been deprecated and will be removed for the next major release of HtmlUnit after 1.3. mbowler

HTMLElement.previousSibling returns the node before the current node. They each return null if there is no such node or the node type is not supported (not HTML). dktaylor
Update Add support for HTMLElement.removeChild and insertBefore. HTMLElement.removeChild removes an Element from the HTML document. It returns the removed Element which is no longer part of the HTML document. HTMLElement.insertBefore adds a new child element before another child element. It returns the newly added child element. dktaylor

Update Fixed exception when specifying an empty string for src on an a frame. Fixes 97. mbowler
Update Fixed the bug where newly opened windows targeted at named frames were not opening in the correct windows. Changed returned page from click() method to work with new targets. That is, instead of just returning changes to the immediate window, it returns any window that is opened. So, if you call click() on an element that has a target set, you will get the page in the window for that target. This is particularly needed for the _blank target where you couldn't find the new window without this change since it is not named. Fixes 92. dktaylor
Update Fixed a bug where windows that were overwritten were not cleaned up so they would be returned from getWebWindowByName. dktaylor
Add Added WebWindow.getTopWindow() and getParentWindow(). dktaylor
Add Added support for the remaining special target names (_blank, _parent, _top in addition to _self that was already supported). These special target names are supported for a, area and form elements as well as the JavaScript open() function. dktaylor
Add Added support for DOM API node navigation methods in HtmlElement so they are available within test cases. This includes getParentNode, getNextSibling, getPreviousSibling, getFirstChild, getLastChild, getNodeType, getNodeName, and getNodeValue. dktaylor
Add Added support for base elements to set a default target using the target attribute. This affects a, area and form elements. dktaylor
Update Fixed a bug where a base element without an href attribute was causing a MalformedURLException to be thrown. This can be caused when the base element just sets a default target. Similarly check for empty href attribute in a and area elements. (The HTML 4 standard does not allow the action attribute to be optional in form elements.) dktaylor
Update Changed the behaviour of HtmlCheckBoxInput.click() to be consistent with IE and Mozilla. Patch submitted by Jun Chen. Fixes 824730. Thanks to Jun Chen. mbowler
Update Fix return type from DomCharacterData.getData to be String. dktaylor
Update Removed non-standard Element API from Text and CharacterData Node classes by factoring out a DOM Node class in the html and JavaScript implementations. Return type from DOM navigation methods, e.g., getFirstChild(), standardized to be DomNode instead of HtmlElement. dktaylor
Add Added support for onload handlers on frames. This isn't supported by the HTML specification but is supported by the popular browsers. mbowler
Update Upgraded commons-httpclient.jar to 2.0-rc2 mbowler

Type Changes By
Add Added method HtmlButtonInput#click(). mbowler
Update Fixed a bug in JavaScript loading where external scripts were being loaded after the page was fully parsed rather than as each &lt;script&gt; tag was being handled.

Update Fixed bug in HtmlForm.getRadioButtonsByName() where it would not match elements with an uppercase value for "radio" mbowler
Update Fixed a bunch of places that were declared to throw ElementNotFoundException but never actually did. mbowler

Add Added support for indexed properties in JavaScript forms mbowler
Update Changes in the latest versions of commons-httpclient are reusing buffers that they previously weren't. This results in a situation where trying to get the content out of a WebResponse after the initial load would result in no content. Buffering is now done within HtmlUnit to avoid this problem. mbowler
Add New method WebResponse#getLoadTimeInMilliSeconds() to measure load times of specific pages. This is intended for performance tuning of web applications mbowler
Update Moved submission guidelines into their own document (submittingPatches.html). mbowler

Add Added support for onchange handlers in input tags mbowler

Update Removed deprecated method HtmlPage.getTitle(). Use HtmlPage.getTitleText() instead. mbowler

Update Fixed bug where a redirect called from JavaScript in the page load would not replace the page. mbowler

Release 1.1-pre5 – September 24, 2002

Type Changes By
Update Changed html parser from JTidy to CyberNeko. CyberNeko is better at parsing really bad html but this now gives us a dependency on the xerces parser from apache. mbowler
Update The directory structure has undergone a significant change and is now checked in under a single module ("htmlunit") in cvs. This should only affect those people who are checking out code directly from cvs. mbowler
Update Upgraded checkstyle to version 2.4 mbowler
Add Added support for document.location (an alias for window.location) mbowler
Update Changed initialization order in HtmlPage so that the enclosing window is initialized before the JavaScript is run mbowler
Update BEHAVIOUR CHANGE: WebClients may no longer change browser versions after creation. This is required because some of the JavaScript bits initialize differently depending on which browser is in use. If we allowed the browser version to change then behaviour would be very unpredictable. mbowler
Add Added method HtmlPage#getFirstAnchorByText(java.lang.String) mbowler
Update First steps towards having property/function information in a configuration file mbowler
Add Added method HtmlPage#getHtmlElementsByAccessKey(char) mbowler
Add Added support for javascript:document.getElementById() mbowler

Add Added support for HtmlImageInput#click() and HtmlImageInput#click(int, int) mbowler
Update Changed redirect logic so that on a 302 or 303 status, if the method changes from post to get, the parameters will be thrown away for the second request. The HTTP spec is unclear on this exact behaviour but the common browsers seem to do it this way. mbowler
Add Added the constant BrowserVersion.NETSCAPE_6_2_3 mbowler

Add Added support for inherited functions to SimpleScriptable. Previously only getters and setters were supported. mbowler
Update Changed SimpleScriptable.getLog() to create a new log object each time. This is necessary since in rhino, functions don't know who their object is. A way for functions to learn about their objects will have to be determined. mbowler
Add Added a JavaScript style object mbowler
Add Added new method HtmlElement.isAttributeDefined() mbowler
Update Changed HtmlElement.getAttributeValue() to return constants indicating whether the attribute was defined with an empty value or just not defined. Both of these constants are empty strings so the behaviour of this method hasn't changed. mbowler
Add Added a tutorial section on the main page and added a link to the table tutorial mbowler
Add Started writing the table tutorial - still needs a lot of work mbowler
Add Added support for the JavaScript function Form.submit() mbowler

Add Added WebClient.getWebWindowByName() mbowler
Add New class WebWindowNotFoundException mbowler
Update When checking to see if a script is JavaScript we previously assumed that the script was not and then looked for proof that it was. This gives us behaviour that is different from browsers in some situations. The logic has been changed so that now it assumed that any script IS JavaScript unless there is proof otherwise. mbowler
Add New method HtmlPage.getFrames() mbowler
Add Initial support for resetting forms. None of the elements actually revert to their previous values yet but onReset handlers will be run if specified. mbowler
Add New method HtmlTable.getCaptionText() mbowler
Update Deprecated HtmlPage.getTitle() to be replaced with HtmlPage.getTitleText(). This will be removed before the final release of 1.1 mbowler

Add HtmlAnchor now supports JavaScript URLs and onClick handlers mbowler
Add Ability to set the emulated browser via WebClient.setBrowserVersion(BrowserVersion) mbowler
Add Stubbed out a bunch of JavaScript methods that are used by the popular websites. Each stubbed out method will print a diagnostic message when it is called to alert the user to the fact that it was called. This is just a temporary measure to ensure that HtmlUnit doesn't blow up when hitting common sites. These methods *will* be implemented properly at some point. mbowler
Add Added WebWindow mbowler
Add Added TopLevelWindow mbowler
Add Added WebWindowListener mbowler
Add Added WebWindowEvent mbowler
