Re: button not clickable with WWW::Mechanize

[Joost]

WWW::Mechanize does not support javascript (the onclick stuff).

If I recall correctly, BUTTON tags actually don't do anything unless they're embedded in a link or have javascript actions.

If you're on windows, you might give Win32::IE::Mechanize a try - it's a Mechanize replacement that uses internet explorer as a backend, and does support javascript.

hmm ... I tried :

$ie->form_name('form_machine') ;
$ie->field( 'machine', $machine ) ;
$ie -> click('IWantThisOne') ;

This has the effect of oppening an IE window with the page i want ! And that's with visible => 0 at the creation of the IE object ?! With visible => 1 it doesn't open the correct page ...

I'll bypass the problem by attacking the URL directly but it's a little bit disappointing ...
