Hello i''m having a issue trying to submit a form using mechanize. The
thing
is that the form don''t have a submit button but a input
type="image".
Someone knows how to do this with mechanize or if its not possible
with mechanize there is another library to do this?
This is the form im trying to send
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<tr>
<td class="inptext"><b>User
name</b></td>
<td><input name="uname" size="10"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="inptext"><b>Password</b></td>
<td><input name="upass" size="10"
type="password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
border="0">
<tr>
<td align="right"><input name="urem"
type="checkbox"

<td class="inptext">Remember me</td>
</tr>
</table>

The only way you can put a form inside a table is if the form lies entirely within one cell of the table. A table may reside entirely within a form of course.

I''m not sure if that''s the problem because i can work with the
form
assing values to the fields of uname and upass. I''ve tried to find a
solution for this issue in google but couldn''t find a solution that
works.
May be a little more information will help i''m using mechanize 2.0.1
and
this is some of the code that i use for sending the form.
page = agent.get(url_mail)
log = page.forms.first
log.uname = "user"
log.upass = "password"
logeado = agent.submit(log)#i used this after other unsuccessful atempts
to
#submit the form. I''m not sure if the agent.submit is clicking the
right
#button but it returns a response but...
sl = logeado.field("country") #i got the error undefined method
''field''
for Mechanize::page:0xxxxxxxx

You cannot make any conclusions about anything with invalid html. To check that it is valid view the page source (View > Page Source or similar in your browser) copy the complete text and paste it into the w3c html validator. When you have invalid html the browser (which will know that it is invalid) has to guess what you meant and it may not guess the way you intended. There is no point doing anything else until you have valid html. A golden rule of problem solving, if you know that something is not right then fix it before worrying about other things that may or may not be part of the problem.

It seems like the site have a lot of things wrong, like i spected for what i saw the first time in the source code, but the thing here is that i don''t own that site so i can''t do something about that issues. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

That''s correct, so i can''t change the form or the input image for a button. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I was thinking that you were describing a problem specific to the form that you provided the detailed html for. Your best bet might be the mechanize mailing list (see http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/). Of course it may be that what you want to do is not possible as mechanize might not be capable of interpreting the invalid html.
