I am constantly getting the no clickable input error msg with whatever input
I use:
No clickable input with name .... at C:/Perl/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1345
Is this a known bug?
what is the workaround?
I am not at all an expert at this, so take what I say with a grain of
salt and skepticism because I may be wrong.
First, I know that WWW::Mechanize doesn't work with some systems (ie It
won't work with IIS and you might get a weird error like that), so make
sure you're on a compatible platform.
Second, you may want to post some of your code up here so that we can
take a look.
Third, you may want to try using the submit() method instead of trying
to "click" the submit button:
$agent->submit();
That method doesn't try to click anything at all, it simply submits the
form. You may have better luck using that.
But, as I said, I'm not expert at this. I'm sure somebody else will
come along with a more specific response than mine.
