Change the section about "Writing JavaScript-based DOM-only Test Cases" to encourage a single file. AP asked me to make this change.

Writing Layout Tests for DumpRenderTree

 = Writing JavaScript-based DOM-only Test Cases =
-Test cases which only test the DOM can be written as .js files instead of .html files.
- * Write a .js file and place it in a `script-tests/` subdirectory.
- * Add a `TEMPLATE.html` file to the same `script-tests/` subdirectory, fixing the paths to point to `fast/js/resources/js-test*`.
- * Run `make-script-test-wrappers`. An example:
-{{{
-$ make-script-test-wrappers LayoutTests/fast/dom/script-tests/my-new-test.js
-}}}
+
+When writing test cases that only test the DOM it is still preferred to use an .html file since it only requires one test file instead of two.
+
+When writing these tests it is often useful to include [http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/fast/js/resources/js-test-pre.js LayoutTests/fast/js/resources/js-test-pre.js] and  [http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/fast/js/resources/js-test-post.js LayoutTests/fast/js/resources/js-test-post.js]. To get these to work you need to have an element with id `description` and another element with the id `console`.
 
 To see what sort of special js functions are exposed to js-only tests, see [http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/fast/js/resources/js-test-pre.js LayoutTests/fast/js/resources/js-test-pre.js]
