Re: Submitting form data to Javascript form

in reply to Submitting form data to Javascript form

Find out what cntyzip() actually does and rewrite your HTML as appropriate before form submitting.

$browser->get( $starting_url );

## Reverse engineer cntryzip() here.
my $html = $brwoser->content;
   $html =~ s/" onSubmit="cntyzip()"/cntyzip.cgi"/isg;

## Insert de-JS'd version here.
$browser->update_html($html);

$browser->form_name("GS");
$browser->submit();

This is the solution I came up with, with the help of a friend.. it basically re-writes the form HTML and bypasses the Java script In this case, the original search was by county and $line = the value I pulled in from a list... `my $form = $browser->form_name( 'formname' ); $form->action( 'https://destinationurl' ); $form->value( county => $line ); $browser->request( $form->click( 'buttonname' ) );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

my $form = $browser->form_name( 'formname' );
$form->action( 'https://destinationurl' );
$form->value( county => $line );
$browser->request( $form->click( 'buttonname' ) );
