Hi,

I'm trying a same kind of test: HTTPUnit with a JavaScript-dependent
JSP application. This is the exception I receive.

com.meterware.httpunit.ScriptException: Event
'setFocus(document.AuthenticationForm.elements[0])' failed:
ReferenceError: "setFocus" is not defined.
	at com.meterware.httpunit.javascript.JavaScript$JavaScriptEngine.handleScriptException(JavaScript.java:185)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.javascript.JavaScript$JavaScriptEngine.performEvent(JavaScript.java:159)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.scripting.ScriptableDelegate.doEvent(ScriptableDelegate.java:46)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.WebResponse$Scriptable.load(WebResponse.java:595)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.javascript.JavaScript$Window.initialize(JavaScript.java:401)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.javascript.JavaScript.run(JavaScript.java:80)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.javascript.JavaScriptEngineFactory.associate(JavaScriptEngineFactory.java:46)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.RequestContext.runScripts(RequestContext.java:44)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.WebWindow.getResponse(WebWindow.java:111)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.WebClient.getResponse(WebClient.java:113)

Will upgrading the Rhino JS library separately, be of any help to
solve this?
