Hi All,


I am trying to automate an interaction with the web page and i am using Win32::IE::Mechanize module as the page involves javascripting. I am able to login to the page and access all the information i need but the problem arises when i try to log off from the page. The button is not associated to any form tag.


Below is the HTML code of the page i am trying to access. 
        <form action="#" name="colorset"><input type="hidden" id="clr"
+ name="c" value=""></form>


<fieldset class="buttonbartop">
  <input class="titlebutton" type="button" name="searchcases" value="S
+earch All Cases" onclick="javascript:searchcases();">

   <input class="titlebutton" type="button" name="getnew" value="Get N
+ew Case" onclick="javascript:searchcase();">
   <input class="titlebutton" type="button" name="create" value="Creat
+e Case" onclick="javascript:makecase();">
   <input class="titlebutton" type="button" name="addressbook" value="
+Address Book" onclick="javascript:addressbook();">
   <input class="newfeaturebtn" type="button" name="userhistory" value
+="My History" onclick="javascript:showhistory();">
   <input class="newfeaturebtn" type="button" name="usersettings" valu
+e="Settings" onclick="javascript:showsettings();">
   <input class="titlebutton" type="button" name="reportproblem" value
+="Report a Problem" onclick="javascript:reportproblem();">
   <input class="titlebutton" type="button" name="logoff" value="Log O
+ff" onclick="javascript:snag('?logoff');">
</fieldset>

My Perl code is given below: 
#!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe

use Win32::IE::Mechanize; 

my $url = 'http://mallet';

my $ie = Win32::IE::Mechanize->new(visible => 1);

$ie->get($url);

sleep(2); #wait for 2 sec so that the requested page will be displayed
+.

$ie->click_button(value => 'Log Off');

Though the above code is not returning any error, it's not loggin off. I know i can try WWW::Selenium module but i have written most part of my code using Win32::IE::Mechanize module and i think there might be a way to accomplish this.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!


Thanks
