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

What about simple XPath (if you have only one textarea):

my $textarea = $mech->xpath('//textarea', one => 1);
$textarea->value("somevalue");

I guess this is the solution that Corion suggested (to fetch the textarea as an object and then use the ->value method). I used this code trying both the absolute xpath and '//textarea' (the page has only one textarea). line 52 `my $textarea = $mech->xpath('//textarea', one => 1);` line 53 `$textarea->value("somevalue");` I got the below error- `MozRepl::RemoteObject: TypeError: f.apply is not a function at getpage.pl line 53`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
