+        <h4>This tests unloading of components which have an unloader method.</h4>
+        <p>
+            The test mounts Component1 on div "one" with a nested internal component and an "open" button.
+            The internal component displays its creation time and an input field. 
+            The open button when clicked will in turn mount Component2 on div "two" with a close button.
+            The close button will unmount the second component.
+        </p>
+        <p>When the second component is mounted or unmounted, the expected behavior is:</p>
+        <ul>
+            <li>The first component and its subcomponent should be redrawn.</li>
+            <li>The first component and internal component should <strong>not</strong> be reinitialized.</li>
+            <li>The time displayed in the internal component should <strong>not</strong> change.</li>
+            <li>Any text entered in the input component should <strong>not</strong> change.</li>
+        </ul>
+        <p>Check the console for logging as to redraws and unload events.</p>
