in reply to Clicking nameless buttons with WWW::Mechanize

I'm a bit confused what you exacly mean, please correct me if i'm wrong. You have 2 forms in one page, and want the submit button to submit the proper form?
When using: 
<form action="javascript:alert('1')">
<input type=submit />
</form>

<form action="javascript:alert('2')">
<input type=submit />
</form>

It seems to work fine for me, i just can have a different action per form, and the button submits the form it is in.
update
Ah i see...
try: 
   $mech->submit_form(
        form_number => 1,
        fields      => {
            username    => 'mungo',
            password    => 'lost-and-alone',
        }
    );
    # as from $mech->submit_form( ... )
    # If button is not passed, then the submit() method is used instea
+d.

    Thanks for the reply. At first I thought that would work, too. Specifically, I tried: 

    $mech_obj->submit_form( form_number => 2,
                        fields => { 'username' => $username,
                                    'password' => $password }
                       );

    But I got the same result as when I used the submit method directly: the search box (form 1) was submitted instead (despite form 2 being selected). Thanks for trying, but I'm still looking for a solution.
