id is not a substitute for name. The name attribute is required on all input tags other than submit and reset. (http://www.w3.org/TR/ html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.4) If you pass invalid HTML to the module, of course it's not going to do what you want. Fix the HTML. If you don't have permissions to fix the HTML, contact the person who does. Alternatively, you can try retrieving a list of all the inputs and looping through them to see which one has the right id. Something along these lines (untested): my @inputs = $mech->current_form()->inputs(); for my $input (@inputs) { if ($input->{id} eq 'blablah') { $input->{value} = "whatever"; } } __END__ Frankly, I have no idea if that would do the right thing when you later try to submit the form. I stand by my original recommendation - fix the HTML. Paul Lalli -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
