I am developing a struts application, which uses Struts validation Javascript 
to validate form fields.
The Javascript created by Struts uses the Javascript method getAttributeNode. 
This work with out problem with Internet explorer.

To test my Struts Application, I am using HttpUnit, which uses Rhine to provide 
Javascript support. Unofortunaly Rhino does not seem to support 
getAttributeNode.  The following is the exception message that I receive.

com.meterware.httpunit.ScriptException: Event 'return validateEventTypeForm
(this);' failed: org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: TypeError: getAttributeNode 
is not a function.

For the time being, I am disabling the JavaScript support in HttpUnit. However, 
I am required to test the javascript validation, therefore I would like to know 
if support for getAttributeNode is to be implemented so I can decided on other 
possible solutions.

Rhino is just an engine implementing ECMAScript standard and its core host
objects. Support for DOM API is beyond the scope of Rhino and should be provided
by application code. 

Please report this to HttpUnit developers.
