Re^3: WWW::Mechanize::Link get id from attrs (firefox find_link

Um, http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/WWW::Mechanize::Link#$link->attrs()?

see href and id in hash below

$ cat alinkswithhrefsandids.html
<html>
<body>
<a href="http://example.com/first+one" id="first"> one </a>
<a href="http://example.com/second+two" id="second"> two </a>
<a href="http://example.com/third+three" id="third"> three </a>

$ mech-dump --links file:alinkswithhrefsandids.html
http://example.com/first+one
http://example.com/second+two
http://example.com/third+three

$ perl -MData::Dump -MWWW::Mechanize -e " $u=WWW::Mechanize->new; $u->
+get( qw/ file:alinkswithhrefsandids.html /); dd( $u->links ); "

do {
  my $a = bless([
    "http://example.com/first+one",
    "one",
    undef,
    "a",
    bless(do{\(my $o = "file:alinkswithhrefsandids.html")}, "URI::file
+"),
    { href => "http://example.com/first+one", id => "first" },
  ], "WWW::Mechanize::Link");
  (
    $a,
    bless([
      "http://example.com/second+two",
      "two",
      undef,
      "a",
      \${$a->[4]},
      { href => "http://example.com/second+two", id => "second" },
    ], "WWW::Mechanize::Link"),
    bless([
      "http://example.com/third+three",
      "three",
      undef,
      "a",
      \${$a->[4]},
      { href => "http://example.com/third+three", id => "third" },

Ah - you're correct. I don't think that (if it is used) WWW::Mechanize::Firefox fills the `->attrs` hash, and if it's plain WWW::Mechanize, then the link in question doesn't have an `id=` attribute set.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
