As I explained in the answer, it is only a matter of not being able to execute the JS. Read the answer again — Mosty Mostacho, Dec 15 '13 at 19:43
i read and i haven't control over the source code from server.. and i won't to show up the Browser, so i use the HtmlUnitDriver..there is a solution for me?..if i use WebClient i must write all code, but i want to use selenium for that. — FelasDroid, Dec 15 '13 at 19:53
There isn't much to do apart from what it says there. You want to use a tool that is not letting you go anywhere. Solution: Do not use the tool. — Mosty Mostacho, Dec 15 '13 at 19:55

The javascript support is not upto the mark and if you just wan't to suppress these errors, you can use :

webClient.getOptions().setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(false);

My generic webclient configuration looks like below, in almost all of my projects :

WebClient client = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_17);
        client.getOptions().setThrowExceptionOnFailingStatusCode(false);
        client.getOptions().setCssEnabled(false);
        client.getOptions().setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(false);
        client.getOptions().setPrintContentOnFailingStatusCode(false);

but in this case, Browser Firefox start or not?..because i don't want this – FelasDroid Dec 15 '13 at 19:31
`htmlunit` is a headless browser, Firefox is just to set as default user-agent, it won't fire/start Firefox. – coding_idiot Dec 15 '13 at 19:32
i use htmlunit but i have this error...i have driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(); – FelasDroid Dec 15 '13 at 19:36
above code corresponds to `selenium` and my solution corresponds to pure `htmlunit` – coding_idiot Dec 15 '13 at 20:02
but in selenium if i try to export code in Java i have a driver not a webclient – FelasDroid Dec 15 '13 at 20:06
@FelasDroid the question is about using `htmlunit` driver in `selenium` and I've written the answer using `pure htmlunit` – coding_idiot Dec 16 '13 at 06:56
