HTML Parameter Mask actually indicates that the Counter config element be used as its replacement - I can see how this is a better (i.e. more flexible) solution than HTML Parameter Mask (it is a shame that the only code I have contributed to JMeter is part of HTML Parameter Mask ;-( ).
I think my comments concerning HTTP User Parameter Modifier are still relevant however - for a moderate number of users I think the xml file would be easier to set up than the User Parameters config element. For my purpose the Counter config element should do the trick. Cheers, Scott -- Scott Eade Backstage Technologies Pty.
