Javascript-Based Form

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

There is a Javascript-based form that I want to fill some parameters. Mechanize does not support Javascript so it does not know that there is a form.

I was looking around and found this: WWW::Scripter::Plugin::Javascript , but I am not sure if this will help since it does know how to parse the Javascript to pull the forms out and to submit it.

Answers to your question, and most of the others that will follow any reply here, can be found using Google restricted to this site (site:PerlMonks.org) and obvious search terms such as javascript, form and parse, or using Super Search right here. Try it. It's fun to learn when doing so is at least in part a result of your own efforts.	[reply]

When I also had to perform form submission, I used WWW::Mechanize::Firefox. This works pretty fine for me. You can try this if it is okay to use Firefox for submitting the form.	[reply]
