python - HTML form has one javascript generated radio button. Is there a way around this using mechanize? -
this form, whatever reason, uses javascript's document.write draw radio buttons on page, , can't figure out how circumvent it.
after sleuthing around here , on google, seems can manually recreate form field mechanize, , submit usual.
so, i've set code follows:
br = mechanize.browser(factory=mechanize.robustfactory()) response = br.open(url) br.select_form(nr=0) br.form.set_all_readonly(false) br.form.new_control('radio', 'datasource', {'value':'file', 'checked':'true'}) br.form.add_file(open('weather_info.csv'), 'text/csv', 'weather_info.csv', name='filename') br.form.fixup() response = br.submit() now, if print form, appear 1 of fields @ bottom.

are there ways around using python?
edit:
i realized submit button javascript; has onclick event tied so.. may out of luck far python solution goes..
<input type="button" name="submit" value="continue" onclick="setddinfo()"> i tried adding button manually form shown here.
br.form.new_control('submit', 'button', {}) but still no luck.
submit's onclick method calls following function:
function setddinfo(){ var ddstuff = new array(21); var checksok = true; // alert("setddinfo ddparms: " + ddparms); (var = 0; < 21; i++){ ddstuff[i] = ddparms[i]; } // section model document.ddcompute.use.value = "model"; ddstuff[4] = "model" with(document.ddcompute) { ddstuff[5] = "e"; // english units ddstuff[6] = ""; // lower threshold (null) ddstuff[7] = ""; // upper threshold (null) ddstuff[8] = "ss"; // dd method: (default) ddstuff[9] = "h"; // cutoff: (default) ddstuff[10] = "cm"; // organism model code: cm, now, etc. if (county.selectedindex < 0) { ddstuff[11] = ""; } else { ddstuff[11] = county.options[county.selectedindex].value; // county } if (datasource[0].checked == "1") { ddstuff[13] = "station"; // data database ddstuff[14] = ""; } else { if (datasource[1].checked == "1") { ddstuff[13] = "file"; // data user file ddstuff[14] = filename.value; } else { ddstuff[13] = "entry"; // data user entry ddstuff[14] = ""; } } } // model error checks. return false abort submit. if (ddstuff[11] == "" && ddstuff[13] == "station") { alert ("error: must select county."); checksok = false; return checksok } if (ddstuff[10] == "") { alert ("error: must select model."); checksok = false; return checksok } if (ddstuff[13] == "file" && ddstuff[14] == "") { alert ("error: must specify filename."); checksok = false; return checksok } // wx source error checks. return false abort submit. if (ddstuff[11] == "" && ddstuff[13] == "station") { alert ("error: must select county."); checksok = false; return checksok } if (ddstuff[13] == "file" && ddstuff[14] == "") { alert ("error: must specify filename."); checksok = false; return checksok } ddstuff[14] = ""; // don't bother saving filename, since not displayed , must re-specified. var dditems = ddstuff.join(","); setcookie ('ddinfo', dditems, exp); // alert ("ddstuff[13]: "+ddstuff[13]); if (ddstuff[13] == "station") { document.ddcompute.action = "/calludt.cgi/ddstationlist"; document.ddcompute.method = "get"; document.ddcompute.encoding = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; } else { if (ddstuff[13] == "file") { document.ddcompute.action = "/weather/textupload.cgi"; document.ddcompute.method = "post"; document.ddcompute.encoding = "multipart/form-data"; } else { document.ddcompute.action = "/calludt.cgi/ddentry1"; document.ddcompute.method = "get"; document.ddcompute.encoding = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; } } // alert ("document.ddcompute.action = " + document.ddcompute.action); document.ddcompute.submit() return checksok } // ................................................ i'm not fluent in javascript, first half of function seems dealing section of form i'm not interested in -- when radio button in position one. second bit tough me follow, it's making post /weather/textupload.cgi i'll have check out traffic tomorrow. maybe can recreate needs via urllib2 or something?
