I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Re: Not able to select a check box which does not have a name attribute
Hi, One can try to find the checkbox from the form (UNTESTED): my $form = $ie->form_number( 1 ); my @cbs = $form->find_input( undef, 'checkbox' ); for my $cb ( @cbs ) { ${$cb}->{id} or next; ${$cb}->{id} eq 'checkbox' and ${$cb}->{checked} = 1; } HTH, -- Abe.

Re: Not able to select a check box which does not have a name attribute
Hi, does this checkbox have an onclick javascript-handler attached to it? if so, you might want to call the click() method on it: ${$cb}->{id} eq 'checkbox' and ${$cb}->click; else you must set the value explicitly: ${$cb}->{id} eq 'checkbox' and ${$cb}->{value} = 'Yes', ${$cb}->{checked} = 1; HTH, -- Abe.

Re: Not able to select a check box which does not have a name attribute
Thanks for the response. I was able to set the value and login. Sorry for asking so many questions but now I have another problem. I need to upload a file. The control on the fomr is Type=file. I was able to access this by use the click method of this control. Here is the problem, after I click on this Browse button a "Choose file" dialog box appears. I want to put the file name in the "File name :" text box and click "Open" button. I am not able to access this dialog box. Any hlep would be great. Thanks, PerlWeb

Re: Not able to select a check box which does not have a name attribute
Hi, File Upload is known not to work bij just setting the value of input control. I have never tried to + use the gui-way by "pressing" the 'Browse' button. This is where you might need to use the Win32::GuiTest module. But I have never used it. HTH, -- Abe.
