    Hi, I'm trying to use httpunit to perform web unit tests on an
application.
I have a span element with an id attribute. I am looking for this id in my
unit test, but I find it is missing.
I searched my code, and I do not remove the id attribute for this element,
since it is not repeat in a table or other list.

Could XMLC be removing it ?

Thanks,
Mike Warne.
