Re: Elusive button WWW::Mechanize::Firefox

[Corion]

One approach could be to click the button instead of submitting the form:

    $agent->click({ selector => '#dnn_ctr373_VINBox_btnVIN' });

Thanks Corion, that did it just fine.

For my own info, where in the doc could I have found out about the hash key to add before the button id/name? Or is this some web convention not specific to the module?

Thanks again for the boost!

The syntax of CSS selectors is defined in some CSS standard, which WWW::Mechanize::Firefox uses. The documentation only mentions CSS selectors, but not their syntax or their definition. I guess that googling for them will turn up the relevant RFC or standard. Personally, I've mostly (re)used what others use and am not aware off-hand of a link to a standard.
