Re^2: WWW::Mechanize::Firefox clicking on a div doesn't work

Good eye! The {} was it.

However, although I'm "clicking" on the div now, I'm not getting the result from the browser at all. I'm suspecting that this is a javascript function I need to try and find. But how to do that?

$pf_mech->eval_in_page('metamorph-392-start()');

doesnt't work. I get

MozRepl::RemoteObject: ReferenceError: metamorph is not defined at ./download_hl7.pl line 67.

I've posted the first part of the html below, for privacy reasons I've had to omit large chunks after that first div but hopefully there is enough here to figure out how to get this click to happen. NB I am following the above example and clicking on the div as present in the DOM.

Hi there, We're venturing into non Perl territory here. What you're seeing are Javascript errors, and really not on topic here. There are other sites to choose from. Briefly, you're trying to evaluate an html id, the value of which isn't valid javascript. Good luck.	[reply]

I understand. Should the WWW:M:F module be able to click through regardless? If I feed it the div and x,y coordinates both shouldn't the javascript fire off without me needing to do an eval_in_page? Thanks for your help.	[reply]

The support for coordinates in `->click` did not work at all in versions of WWW::Mechanize::Firefox before 0.78. Still, you will need to learn how Javascript interacts with HTML if you want to automate Javascript-heavy websites.	[reply] [d/l]
