For the archives: The key to solving this was: `$ie->get('javascript:functionToExecute()');` which executes the javascript in the context of the current page (basically how bookmarklets work).	[reply] [d/l]

The button was unnamed, so it would have to have been getElementsByTagName, but irregardless, calling click or browsing to a javascript: url result in an alert, blocking perl until it is dispatched.	[reply]
