[Windmill-dev] Testing an autocomplete widget

[Adam Christian]

Alright, what your library wanted was the keyDown and keyUp events to  
be triggered properly, so now I am doing that. The normal type method  
should now work for what you want.

I tested this in Safari 3, Firefox 2 and IE 7.
Heres a small test I recorded that worked for me:

{"params": {"id": "ysearchinput"}, "method": "click"}
{"params": {"text": "asdf", "id": "ysearchinput"}, "method": "type"}
{"params": {"milliseconds": 4000}, "method": "waits.sleep"}
{"params": {"xpath": "\/html\/body\/form\/div\/div\/div[1]\/div[2]\/ul 
\/li[2]"}, "method": "click"}
{"params": {"milliseconds": 1000}, "method": "waits.sleep"}
{"params": {"id": "ysearchsubmit"}, "method": "click"}

Looking forward to your feedback,

Adam
