Re: Clicking nameless buttons with WWW::Mechanize

I'm a bit confused what you exacly mean, please correct me if i'm wrong. You have 2 forms in one page, and want the submit button to submit the proper form?
When using:

<form action="javascript:alert('1')">
<input type=submit />
</form>

<form action="javascript:alert('2')">
<input type=submit />
</form>
[download]

It seems to work fine for me, i just can have a different action per form, and the button submits the form it is in.
update
Ah i see...
try:

   $mech->submit_form(
        form_number => 1,
        fields      => {
            username    => 'mungo',
            password    => 'lost-and-alone',
        }
    );
    # as from $mech->submit_form( ... )
    # If button is not passed, then the submit() method is used instea
+d.

Thanks for the reply. At first I thought that would work, too. Specifically, I tried: `$mech_obj->submit_form( form_number => 2, fields => { 'username' => $username, 'password' => $password } );` [download] But I got the same result as when I used the `submit` method directly: the search box (form 1) was submitted instead (despite form 2 being selected). Thanks for trying, but I'm still looking for a solution.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
