Re: How to fill textarea of a webpage fetched using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox ?

Your textarea has no name, so you will need to fetch the textarea as an object and then use the ->value method with that object.

Maybe you want to show us a short self-contained example of how your code fails for you?

I had no idea how to do that. So I dont have have a code to fill the textarea. I tried your suggestion and I got an error. Is it possible to edit `<textarea class="placeholder" rows="3" cols="50" placeholder="Place the comment here" > </textarea>` to `<textarea class="placeholder" rows="3" cols="50" placeholder="Place the comment here" > MY COMMENT </textarea>` through WWW::Mechanize::Firefox so that firefox will update the textarea accordingly?

See the documentation of the `->value` method in WWW::Mechanize::Firefox: `$mech->value( $textarea, 'BUY GENERIC VIAGRA' );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
