Hi Monks,

I m trying to access a url using mechanize. The url redirects me to a secure login and i must authenticate myself to get in. I want to automate this login process but the login page is created using Javascript:

document.write("<table border=0 align=center width=100%>");
    document.write("<tr>");
    document.write("<th align=right id=\"lblUserID\">");
    document.write(getUserIDText(bShowBD));
    document.write("</th>");
    //document.write("<td align=left><input type=\"text\" name=\"useri
+d\" value=\"\" maxlength=\"128\" size=\"9\"></td>");
    document.write("<td align=left><input type=\"text\" name=\"userid\
+" value=\"" + getUserName() + "\" maxlength=\"128\" size=\"9\"></td>"
+);
    document.write("</tr>");
    document.write("<tr>");
    document.write("<td colspan=2>");
    document.write("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"username\" value=\"\
+" maxlength=\"128\" size=\"9\">");
    document.write("</td>");
    document.write("</tr>");
    document.write("<tr>");
    document.write("<th align=right><LABEL ID=lblPWD>Password:</LABEL>
+</th>");
    document.write("<td align=left><input type=\"password\" name=\"pas
+sword\" value=\"\" maxlength=\"46\" size=\"20\">");
    document.write("</td>");
    document.write("</tr>");
    document.write("<tr>");
    document.write("<td colspan=2>");
    document.write("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"login-form-type\" va
+lue=\"pwd\">");
    document.write("</td>");
    document.write("</tr>");
    document.write("<tr>");
    document.write("<td align=center colspan=2><input type=\"submit\" 
+name=\"btnSubmit\" value=\"  OK  \" onClick=\"if (setReqURL()==false)
+ return false; if (checkCookiesAtField(userid)) return true; else ret
+urn false;\"></td>");
    document.write("</tr>");
