Re: Win32::IE::Mechanize trouble

Check if $ie->form_name(...) is returning undef. That indicates that the form wasn't found and would explain the error message you are getting.

As for the button, what kind of form control is it, a <button> or <input type=submit ...> or an anchor that executes javascript?

I would see if the $ie->click(...) or $ie->submit(...) will work for you.

How would I go about finding out if it's undefined? It's a button `<span class="button"><a href="javascript:clickedButton('submitLogin'); +"> <img xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" title="" src="en/images/lan +guage_sensitive_images/pagegraphics/buttons/image/go.gif" class="" al +t=""/> </a></span>` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

So I added this line: `print "works" if defined $ie->form_name( $formName );` [download] Since nothing gets printed, this means that my form isn't getting set correctly, right?	[reply] [d/l]

No, it's an anchor that executes javascript. You need to follow the link.	[reply]

The button is an anchor which calls the JS routine `clickedButton()`. You'll just have to look at the JS code to see what really is going on.	[reply] [d/l]
