Hi Guys, I'm using WWW::Mechanize in my project. I met a problem that I can not handle a <select> input with multiple property correctly. Below is part of the html page:
<form name="queryfoo" method="Post">
  <select name="options" multiple>
     <option value="1">OPT1</option>
     <option value="2">OPT2</option>
     <option value="3">OPT3</option>
     <option value="1835">OPT4</option>
     <option value="2487">OPT5</option>
  </select>
</form>
My code is like below:
$mech->form_name("queryfoo"); my $form = $mech -> current_form; my $input = $form->find_input('options'); $input->value('3'); $mech->click('Run');
But I always get a Illegle Value error? Did I do this wrong? And I'm wondering how to set multiple value for this input? Thank you all in advance
