in thread Win32::IE::Mechanize trouble

So I'm back to trying to get this done after some other things. print $ie->content yields this:

No mention of any forms...which is certainly a problem. There is tons of stuff between the last </SCRIPT> and </HEAD>...any idea why it's not showing up? It this a javascript issue?

thanks

    Oops, content is not that useful with Win32::IE::Mechanize.

    Win32::IE::Mechanize should see whatever IE sees, and if forms are generated by JavaScript, that shouldn't be a problem if it works in your IE.

      So if I see it when I view source in IE, Win32::IE::Mechanize should see it? I tried a few other sites, and content seems to cut off on the other sites after a javascript tag as well. Although there seems to be no regularity between when it cuts off. Here's the entire HTML code...maybe you'll be able to see something that I don't.
