I have a form I'm trying to fill out. One of the fields, despite being named in the HTML source keeps erroring out on me.The HTML source: <td> <select name="ValueOfActor"> <option SELECTED value="">-</option> <option value="Nobody">Nobody</option> ... The perl code: ... $agent->submit_form( form_number => '3', fields => { "ValueOfStatus" => $status, "Value0fActor" => $username, }, button => 'DoSearch' ); ... The error: No such field 'Value0fActor' at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1233 How can there not be a field by that name if the HTML source tells me there is? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Mathew My first thought is that perhaps your form_number is wrong? Why not try replacing the fields parameter with a with_fields one, when Mechanize will find the first form with the fields you specify (you'll get a warning if there's more than one) and ignore your form_number.
