in reply to How do I perform web automation with sites that use Javascript?

Here are some modules which give you a way around the issue:

Other things to try:

  • Disable Javascript in your browser and see if the site still functions as you want. If so, then you don't actually have a problem :)
  • Figure out what the scripts are doing on the wire, and re-implement those transactions in your own program. The Firefox add-on Live HTTP Headers is well suited for this.
