How to get htmlunit to recognize dynamically updated html code

Question

So I have a page in Windchill 9.1 that has a dynamic popup of a drop-down menu with a z-index of a 100. And for some reason the popup doesnt show up in the source code.

Using firebug I can see that the html code is being dynamically added onto the page and when I close out from the menu, the code becomes a lighter shade in firebug (maybe a way for firebug to say that the code has been removed). Either way, I still can't see the code in source and I need HTMLUnit to obtain whats in the drop-down.

Answer 1

A lighter share in firebug means that the menu is invisible. So it still should be available in your html code.

Make sure you do a getHtmlElementById after the menu has been generated (either wait a few seconds, or bind to a javascript event)

Answer 2

thanks but it didnt work. I decided to follow another approach which is completely different from this approach.
