Hello Monks,

I'm sorry as this must be a very basic problem :| The form i open has multiple buttons, the html source looks like this :

<FORM class="form_fonce" ACTION="/app-html/general/action.htm" NAME="f
+orm_machine" TARGET="indic_machine"
OnSubmit="return saisie_indic(document.form_machine.machine.value);">

Votre recherche :
<INPUT TYPE="text"   NAME="machine"             SIZE="8" VALUE=""
OnChange="return saisie_machine(document.form_machine.machine.value);"
+>

<INPUT TYPE=hidden   NAME="FILTRE"                       VALUE="*">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden   NAME="Filtre_machine"               VALUE="*">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden   NAME="Filtre_Os"                    VALUE="*">
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="assistance"                   VALUE="Assist
+ance ..."
OnClick="return saisie_assistance();">
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="IwantThisOne"                  VALUE="Iwant
+ThisOne"
OnClick="return saisie_IwantThisOne(document.form_machine.machine.valu
+e);">
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="foobarbaz"                   VALUE="Foobarb
+az"
OnClick="return saisie_foobar(document.form_machine.machine.value);">
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="info"                 VALUE="Info"
OnClick="return saisie_infos(document.form_machine.machine.value);">
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="decl"         VALUE="Coll"
OnClick="return coll(document.form_machine.machine.value); ">
</FORM>

Here's what i try to do :

my $url = 'http:/app/correct/path/form_machine.htm' ;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get( $url ) ;

my $machine = 'SYSID' ; 

$mech->form_name('form_machine') ;
$mech->field( 'machine', $machine ) ;
$mech -> click('IwantThisOne') ;
[download]

And it fails with

No clickable input with name IwantThisOne
[download]

There is no typo in the name i use in real life. I tried with click_button and got the same error .

What is wrong ? Is it a problem with the OnClick stuff ?

Thanks if you can shed some light on this ...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
