Accessing a button without a form name

venkatesan_G02 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I am trying to access a web page with JavaScript using Win32::IE:: Mechanize module. I stumbled upon a problematic situation wherein i need to access button on different class. This button is not associated with any <form> tag as well.

Below is the html code of the button i need to access.

<div class="barbutton" onMouseover="btnhighlight('subcasingbutton');" 
+onMouseout="btnreset('subcasingbutton');" id="subcasingbutton" onclic
+k="javascript:subcasing(3639969,'Analysis in Progress');"> 
Subcasing
</div>
[download]

I tried using " $ie->click_button(number=>7); " but its throwing an error - "Can't call method "length" on an undefined value".

Is there any possible way to resolve this issue?

You are using the term button, but this isn't an HTML button, its a div, so its not surprising that Win32::IE::Mechanizes `click_button` method doesnt work. In your previous question you were provided with some advice including reading Using WWW::Selenium To Test Or Automate An Ajax Website which IMHO would be worth your while reading.
