How to access forms < id > using Win32::IE::Mech anize->new( )

5 New Member
Hello All,

How do we access form using Win32::IE::Mech anize->new( ) ?
I know we have a method

$mech->form_name('"na me") .But what if the form has only the 'id' attribute and no name attribute,

In this case how do we access the form through Win32::IE::Mech anize->new()

Kindly reply

If the form does not have name, you can make use of form_number() method.
This recognizes a form by its number(though not 'id'). The forms in the current page will be numbered from 1 onwards.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. $mech ->form_number($number);
  2.  
Check this for info.

I'm pretty new to Python and I've been searching all over the place to find a solution for this. I have a html page with some javascript in it and I need to load this page in my own window (which I will create using PythonWin). The reason for this is to have capability to control the window properties and at the same time have access to click on the "submit" buttons in the webpage

Hi y'all! I'm new at perl, and I'm trying to automate a file fetch.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
