Mechanize users - Nov 2008 - Multiple Submit Buttons

Hello.

 

I have run into a new form that contains multiple submit buttons.

 

Currently my code for working with forms looks just like this example.

 

require ''rubygems''
  require ''mechanize''
 
  a = WWW::Mechanize.new { |agent|
    agent.user_agent_alias = ''Mac Safari''
  }
 
  a.get(''http://google.com/'') do |page|
    search_result = page.form_with(:name => ''f'') do
|search|
      search.q = ''Hello world''
    end.submit
 
    search_result.links.each do |link|
      puts link.text
    end
  end

 

 

 

But now I have 2 <input type=submit.> values on my form.  How can I tell
Mechanize which submit button to use to get to the result set?

 

Thanks!

Cindy

Submit takes an argument which is the button to use.  You can probably
do something like this:

 a.get(''http://google.com/'') do |page|
   search_result = page.form_with(:name => ''f'') do |search|
     search.q = ''Hello world''
   end.submit(page.form_with(:name => ''f'').buttons[1])
 end
