protected function DrupalWebTestCase::drupalPostAJAX in Drupal 7

Execute an Ajax submission.

This executes a POST as ajax.js does. It uses the returned JSON data, an array of commands, to update $this->content using equivalent DOM manipulation as is used by ajax.js. It also returns the array of commands.

Parameters

$path: Location of the form containing the Ajax enabled element to test. Can be either a Drupal path or an absolute path or NULL to use the current page.

$edit: Field data in an associative array. Changes the current input fields (where possible) to the values indicated.

$triggering_element: The name of the form element that is responsible for triggering the Ajax functionality to test. May be a string or, if the triggering element is a button, an associative array where the key is the name of the button and the value is the button label. i.e.) array('op' => t('Refresh')).

$ajax_path: (optional) Override the path set by the Ajax settings of the triggering element. In the absence of both the triggering element's Ajax path and $ajax_path 'system/ajax' will be used.

$options: (optional) Options to be forwarded to url().

$headers: (optional) An array containing additional HTTP request headers, each formatted as "name: value". Forwarded to drupalPost().

$form_html_id: (optional) HTML ID of the form to be submitted, use when there is more than one identical form on the same page and the value of the triggering element is not enough to identify the form. Note this is not the Drupal ID of the form but rather the HTML ID of the form.

$ajax_settings: (optional) An array of Ajax settings which if specified will be used in place of the Ajax settings of the triggering element.

Return value

An array of Ajax commands.
