in thread https javascript form

Now I have with success filled in the form's username and - I think - all other fields except the password which has no 'value' field. How do i get around that?

    Does the field have a 'name'? 'value' or 'name' can work. I would need to inspect the HTML of the page itself if you can post the login page link, too

      Yes the field has a name: 
      ctl00$MainContent$Login1$Password

      This is the login page:

      http://jyllands-posten.dk/j_spring_openid_security_check?openid_identifier=https://polid.jppol.dk&branding=JPPremLogo

      Wauw, it's really nice of you to take a look at it! Thanks!

    see if this works: 
    use WWW::Mechanize;
my $usr = "your_username"; 
my $pw = "your_password"; 
$mech->form_number(1); 
$mech->field( "ctl00$MainContent$Login1$UserName", $usr); 
$mech->form_number(2); 
$mech->field("ctl00$MainContent$Login1$Password", $pw);
$mech->click();
$mech->dump_text; # for debugging

      I have tried that but it doesn't work :-(

      Could it have something to do with the 'action' field? How do I set that in a form?

    See if
     $mech->click_button(value => "Log ind");
    works after you filled in the fields successfully

      Nope. It doesn't work either.

      I have a feeling that it has something to do with the 'action'-url contained in the form. Could that be true? and how do I implement it in my submit_form? I have being searching for examples but haven't found any relevant yet.

        Maybe. You can try  $mech->post($url); I think. If you're willing to use an external browser that interprets javascript, I would take a look at WWW::Mechanize::Firefox or WWW::Selenium
