Script Testing Framework Features: * runs in a browser * tests run individually, or as a suite * test code and results are easy to examine * suite can be paused/resumed at any time * framework handles asynchronous testing * events can be created and dispatched easily * does not use faulty strategies (browser detection, etc). Suite Implementation: * organized so that it is easy to find tests (searchable, sortable) * search engine friendly (so that tests can be found) * links to the relevant specifications, which link back to the tests Results of various browsers and versions could be provided on a separate page. YUI Test is open source. A GitHub fork can be created and modified for the purpose of this test suite. I mentioned it about a year ago on this list. That thread unfortunately turned to an ad hominem and insults, ended by Doug Schepers. The w3c maintains:- http://www.w3.org/DOM/Test/ I do not personally find that test suite to be useful. Suggestion: Why don't you post to comp.lang.javascript and ask if anyone finds the test suite useful? Garrett
