Re: [Phptest-users] Re: add question issue

[dj resonance]

Well, it's at least good to hear that you're able to
use phpTest with the big three browsers.  I'm still
convinced it's a programming error on my part that is
preventing phpTest from working on the other three,
but that will have to be relegated to investigation on
my todo list.  Please let me know if you find any more
problems or have any suggestions.

Thanks,
Brandon
