check box in a form

shankara has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I have a rather trivial question. I need to have my client check the box in this downloaded html form and submit it. The code for the check box looks like this:

 <input name="AUPConfirmed" value="1" type="hidden">
      <div id="free_aup_line" onclick="if (event.target.tagName != 'IN
+PUT') document.getElementById('aupAgree').checked = !document.getElem
+entById('aupAgree').checked">
        <input id="aupAgree" name="aupAgree" value="1" tabindex="4" ty
+pe="checkbox">

Many thanks!

Hi There, Take a look at WWW::Mechanize, it's often used in such situations. There is an instructive example given on its CPAN page.	[reply]

My current code looks like this `my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new; $mech->get($url); $mech->follow_link( text_regex => qr/Please click here/ ); $mech->submit_form( form_number => 1, fields => { aupAgree => '1' }, );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Huh. So that's how they do the "click the checkbox label" in javascript. Only 122 characters more than wrapping the checkbox label in, you know, <label> tags.	[reply]
