Re: How to fill textarea of a webpage fetched using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox ?

[Gangabass]

What about simple XPath (if you have only one textarea):

my $textarea = $mech->xpath('//textarea', one => 1);
$textarea->value("somevalue");

I guess this is the solution that Corion suggested (to fetch the textarea as an object and then use the ->value method). I used this code trying both the absolute xpath and '//textarea' (the page has only one textarea).

line 52 my $textarea = $mech->xpath('//textarea', one => 1);

line 53 $textarea->value("somevalue");

I got the below error-

MozRepl::RemoteObject: TypeError: f.apply is not a function at getpage.pl line 53
