Hi,

I'm trying to develop HTTPUnit tests for my (heavy) JSP application.

There's a situation where I have this kind of form:

<form name="search" action="javascript:checkValue()" method=post>
	<table ....>
        ...
        <input type="Submit" name="Search" value="Search">
        ...
</form>

The script checkValue goes like this:

<script language=javascript>
	function checkValue()
	{
           if (document.search..........)
	}
</script>

and is placed well within the same HTML file.

During submission of this form, Rhino always throws this exception:
"TypeError: undefined is not a function"

com.meterware.httpunit.ScriptException: URL 'javascript:checkValue()'
failed: TypeError: undefined is not a function. (httpunit; line 22)
	at com.meterware.httpunit.javascript.JavaScript$JavaScriptEngine.handleScriptException(JavaScript.java:185)

Any suggestions as to what may be the problem here? Since I'm new to
Rhino I'm not quite familiar with the framework's code, any pointers
could help.

Thanks and Regards
Murali
