[Seaside] SeasideTesting and WebTester w/ Selenium

[Bart Gauquie]

Joel,

WebTester is still in development. New features are added if needed.

I agree that the code you've written is yikes ...

What you've should be able to write is something like:

     self assert: (self divByXPath: '@class="foo"') isPresent

which will encapsulate the code you've provided. (analoguous to the other
encapsulations).

If I find the time, I will add it ... or I welcome your try to add it ...

Kind Regards,

Bart
