Re: Win32::IE::Mechanize download file

Mechanize does not support javascript. Perhaps if you view the javascript of the page you can find a different way to access what you want.

WIN32::IE::Mechanize - can't follow link - JavaScript involved might help (unless it was one of those nodes you found unsatisfactory).

Update: Follow-up Javascript Hyperlink seems to describe this situation. Is it of any help to you?

Sounds to me like the module in question here is Win32::IE::Mechnize, not WWW::Mechanize, so unless IE has been configured to disable JavaScript, this should not be a problem. At this point we don't know if the form in question contains any JavaScript, it may just be doing a redirect to a URL based on form criteria. From what the OP mentioned in the CB, this was a case of a new window opening with the IE 'Save as'/'Open With' dialogue box. Thanks Martin	[reply]

is there a way to capture the window that pops up and says "Open the file" or "Save as"...	[reply]
