Hi All! I'm having big problem with a login form. I obviously use WWW::Mechanize, but the login button is not part of the form. Actually the webpage is this: 
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

        <tr>
            <td>
            <table border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="0">
            <form method="post" target="_top" action="../jsp/index.jsp
+" name="TheForm" onSubmit="return sendForm();">
            <input type="hidden" name="password" value="" />
            <input type="hidden" name="rememberid" value="" />
            <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="0"/>
            <input type="hidden" name="challenge" value="" />
            <tr>

                <td><font face="Arial" size="2" color=#ffffff><b>&nbsp
+;Nome utente</b></font></td>
                  <td><input style="width:120px;" type="text" name="us
+erid" size="15" maxlength="25" tabindex="1" value=""/></td>
            </tr>
            </form>
            <form method="post" target="_top" action="../jsp/index.jsp
+" name="loginForm" onSubmit="return sendForm();">
            <input type="hidden" name="userid" value=""/>
            <input type="hidden" name="rememberid" value=""/>
            <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="0"/>

            <input type="hidden" name="bla" value=""/>
            <tr>
                <td><font face="Arial" size="2" color=#ffffff><b>&nbsp
+;Password</b></font></td>
                <td><input style="width:120px;" type="password" name="
+password" size="15" tabindex="2" maxlength="25" value=""/></td>
            </tr>
            </form>
            <tr>
                  <td colspan="2" align="right">

                 
                    <a href="javascript:clickLogin()" onMouseOver="ret
+urn statusMsg('Login');" onMouseOut="return statusMsg();"><img src=".
+./images/it/button_login.gif"  border="0" alt="Login" tabindex="3"></
+a></td>

and my code is this: 
 $mech->form_number(1);
    $mech->set_fields ( 'userid' => $user) ;
    $mech->form_number(2);
    $mech->set_fields('password' => $password);
    $mech->form_number(1);
    $mech->submit_form(); #dont' work
    $mech->click(); #don't work
    $mech->follow_link( text_regex => qr/Login/i ); #don't work

i'have tried all combination of submit_form (with fields) & something similar, but i don't think these methods are suitable for pressing a link-image-button.. Is this because www::mechanize didn't support javascript? :| Tanx in advice so much!
