Re: WWW::Mechanize::Chrome: Click on button not part of a form

You need the form tag. As far as i remember. You may also wish to validate your HTML to avoid pain in the ass. Best regards, Karl

As per Corion's reply, you can use `$mech->click({ selector => '#element-id' });` and that works great. Since I'm using pure JS/jQuery functions, I don't need or want a form in this case, as there's nothing to submit it to. I do all the logic in client-side code, then dump it off to a route on the server without ever leaving the page. Thanks for the validator link though, that's quite handy.	[reply] [d/l]

He! May be it works. HTML is always good for a surprise. But the markup you supplied is not valid. You may try it yourself ibidem. I hope I don’t miss the point.
