I'd also recommend selenium, however suggest using the java API as described
here...

The firefox plugin has some significant advantages (low barrier to entry /
ability to step through tests) but ultimately results in unmaintainable,
brittle slow running tests - especially when using record mode.

Hello<br>
I am looking for a tool to do a functional test of a web application.<br>
The application starts with one or more simple html pages. But at one<br>
point a java applet is started which displays some text fields.<br>
Finally I want to check the content those fields. If the value is what has<=
br>
been expected, the test has successfully been passed.<br>
<br>
The FAQ did not provide an answer to that question. Therefore I ask it here=
:<br>
Is HttpUnit suited for this scenario?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
