Mechanize users - Mar 2007 - A java initialization routine

Whe using a particular web page, the default values of the form are set 
by a java function, then I can modify the web page and submit it.

But when I use Mechanize, I am having trouble figuring out how to get 
those values so I can put them into the form I am going to submit.

Below is the function that has the data...and I have changed pertinent 
info.  What other choices might I have to accomplish this?  I''m going 
through multiple devices here, so the data is specific to the device, 
if that wasn''t already obvious.

So basically, I want to get the default data, change one item (an IP 
address), put it in the form, and submit it.

Thanks for any direction you might provide.

It''s kinda long, so I apologize:

function InitValue(passForm) {
//	var snmp_ver = ''0'';
	/*-----AP Password-----*/
	passForm.http_username.value		= ''username''; //
admin/user/0/username
	passForm.http_passwd.value			= ''supersecret''; //
admin/user/0/password
	passForm.confirm_http_passwd.value 	= ''supersecret''; //
admin/user/0/password
	passForm.webs_use_https.value 		= ''1'';
	passForm.wireless_access_web.value	= ''0'';
	passForm.snmp_mode.value			= ''1'';
	passForm.snmp_ver.value 			= ''0'';
	passForm.SYSContact.value			= ''My Company (1-800-555-1212)'';
	passForm.SYSName.value				= ''System-14''; // system/name
	passForm.SYSLocation.value			= ''D217'';//system/location
	passForm.SNMPUserName.value			= '''';//snmp username
	passForm.SNMPPassword.value			= '''';//snmp passphrase
	passForm.SNMPPassPhrase.value		= '''';//snmp password
	passForm.SNMPCommunityOne.value		= ''public'';
        passForm.SNMPCommunityTwo.value		= ''public'';
	passForm.SNMPTrapCommunity.value 	= ''public'';

	var f = passForm ;

	if( ''1'' == ''0'' )
		f.webs_use_https[1].checked = true;
	else
		f.webs_use_https[0].checked = true;

	if( ''0'' == ''0'' )
		f.wireless_access_web[1].checked = true;
	else
		f.wireless_access_web[0].checked = true;

	if( ''1'' == ''0'' )
		f.snmp_mode[1].checked = true;
	else
		f.snmp_mode[0].checked = true;

	if( ''0'' == ''0'' )
		f.snmp_ver[0].checked = true;
	else
		f.snmp_ver[1].checked = true;

	ChangeSNMP_Mode(''1'');
	ChangeSNMP_Version(''0'');
	SplitTrustHostIPAddress ( ''1.2.3.4'' );//SNMPTrustedHost
	SplitSNMPTrapDestIPAddress ( ''0.0.0.0'' );//SNMPTrapDest

You mean Javascript, not Java.  The two are very different.

And Mechanize does not support Javascript in any way.

Sorry for mis-speaking about java/javascript...thanks for pointing that 
out.  I just thought since when I do a view source, that I can see this 
code, that I would somehow be able to take advantage of the information 
in the text....not necessarily use a javascript "trick" to get the
data
out.

Thanks for any ideas you might have.

Mike B.
