Selecting a single form amongst many with mechanize

[burntbit]

I've been trying to select the 2nd form out of 20+ forms in a page. And it happens to be the only form in the page with a name 'send_form'.

I've tried

br.select_form(nr=1)

and

br.select_form(name='send_form')

and

for f in br.forms():
    if f.name != None:
        br.select_form(name=f.name)

The first results in every single form object from the page. The second returns a no form by that name error. And the third also returns every single form object on the page.

Now there are three fields I'm trying to access name=prospect_email[], name=prospect_name[], name=prospect_telephone[]. Now these input fields also have id's with the same name lacking the []. Now I've successfully input data into fields on other forms so I know how to do it. But when I try to access these I get an error saying the name of ... does not exist. I was figuring it's probably because I don't have the right form selected. I've spent hours on this and I'm racking my brain trying to figure it out. Help will be appreciated.

I apologize. I tried to replicate it and I couldn't. And I tried the code again and it worked. So I'm a bit surprised. Here's the code that worked.

br.select_form(nr=1)
 
 
br.form['prospect_email[]'] = '[e-mail]'
br.form['prospect_name[]'] = 'Example Name'
br.form['prospect_telephone[]'] = '1234567890'
 
br.submit()

It was my mistake. The script actually loads through 3 other page forms before it gets to this point. There's a login, and then two redirect pages with hidden forms. I go through those quite easily. And then it's as I described. I spent most of a night trying code and ran into problems... but I try the same code today and it works.
