Re: WWW::Mechanize::FireFox - radios with the same name

It seems that radio boxes are not really supported. I suggest retrieving the element(s) by the ID and then ->clicking on them. Alternatively, use ->field() with the id instead of the name, as documented in $mech->field().

Could you tell me more about this getting element by ID? When I'm trying clicking this radio i got message that it's not a button :( . Corion help me! I see you got skill in it. Sorry for my English - I don't use translators and I'm from Poland .	[reply]

The documentation for `->field()` in WWW::Mechanize::Firefox says: A selector prefixed with `'#'` must match the id attribute of the input. A selector prefixed with `'.'` matches the class attribute. A selector prefixed with `'^'` or with no prefix matches the name attribute. I'm not sure how to make this clearer, but maybe an example helps: `$mech->field('#foo', 'bar'); # set value of element with id "foo" to " +bar"` [download] I don't think that radio boxes are well-supported with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox though, because I've never needed them.
