I have a script that accesses our website, hosted by a 3rd party. I am using Mechanize::Firefox. The script proceeds successfully thru each screen, entering some data into fields, and clicking a button to go to the next screen. Finally, I arrive at the last screen which is a table, built by javascript, that contains multiple rows of items, any of which can be clicked on to get the detail screen for that item. My problem is I don't know how to click on a table item.

here is the snapshot of the Firebug window: 

<table id="tbListResults" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
+ border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td id="tdList" style="height: auto">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<tr class="listitem">
<td onclick="selectListItem(3348956)">
<b>CC026836</b>

<td onclick="selectListItem(3348956)">
