in thread Out of milk website via WWW::Mechanize

Thanks for the reply, I was aware that Mech doesn't do js, but thought if not trying to manipulate js, I could get through to the shopping list page.

As far as legal concern, this was just to manipulate my own personal lists on the site, (which I can do manually) and wouldn't be used as a bot of any kind. It was more of a learning experience.

    Sorry, but did you answer my question?

    Does the website work within a browser with deactivated JS? Yes or no?

    If not, forget WWW::Mechanize !

    ? ? ?

    Mech doesn't do JS at all!

      ok, got your point. If not, would it be still possible using LWP?

      Thanks again!

        Did you read the Mechanize FAQ?

        update: It lists some alternatives dealing with JS ...

      ok, got your point. If website does not work without js, would what I want to achieve still be still possible using LWP?

      Thanks again!

        No. But if you look at the FAQ, as recommended by LanX yesterday, you'll find a list of alternate modules which can work with JS.
