I've been a very satisfied user of Mech for years (Thanks Andy - it's a great
example of good interface design, and thus a highly usable module)... but alas,
as my web scraping code evolved to 'button-pushing-mode' it turns out that the
submit button does *not* submit a HTTP request, but rather invokes an AJAX-ish
operation
<form onsubmit='A.B.C.yada_yada(this); return false;" ...>
<input .../>
<input .../>
<input type="submit" value="1-click yada yada"/>
</form>
I *can* fill in the form and click() the button, but since Mech doesn't do
JavaScript, I'm up the proverbial creek.
What's a Mech fan to do?
* For real in production?
* For mock in testing?
