Try using the repeat step and an xpath that points to your ul and then verify
the link in the steps to repeat. Here is an example that will go through all
inputs of type checkbox and check the checkbox:

<repeat xpath="//tbody[@id='mdp']/tr/td[1]/input[@type='checkbox']"
counterName="currentCheckbox" description="Check all Plans"> <setCheckbox xpath="$currentCheckbox" checked="true"/> </repeat>

Hi, I'm brand new to Webtest. I have an HTML structure that's like

<ul id="foo"> <li><a href="a.html">a</a></li> <li><a href="b.html">b</a></li> <li><a href="c.html">c</a> <ul id="c-foo"> <li><a href="c-1.html">c-1</a></li> <li><a href="c-2.html">c-2</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="d.html">d</a></li> </ul>

...and so on. Sometimes with a 2nd nested UL (never a 3rd, though), sometimes
without. Is there a way to recursively walk through the entire UL, verifying all
links that are found?

Thanks!
