in thread HTTPS authentication to java form

I know that there is no form in that jtml. I am assuming the form is rendered by the main.jsp script. So I am not sure what frame I should be "get"ing.

    The documentation says that ->find_link accepts an id parameter. Maybe you want to pass it the id of the main frame? If you do that, you get a link back, which you can then ->get in turn.

      Obvously the form is called "mainForm" and the fields are "userID" and "pword" However, when I try to call the submit_form function, I get the following error: There is no form named "mainForm" at
