Dear Andy,
Would you please consider the addition of search by id / class as the
original ticket requestor called for?
This will be useful for avoiding the need for fragile " n => <magic
Show quoted text
number> " when searching in certain page designs. The support for id /
class attributes can be justified as they are special with regard to
element identification and classification. Thus, it would be possible
to find a link like this
$mech->find_link( { id => 'the-xyz-link' } );
or
$mech->find_link( { class_regex => qr/ ^ xyz-link-by /x } );
The attached patch implements this support for id / class / id_regex /
class_regex for find_link and if you think it is good enough, I may
look the necessary and desirable bits to be added to find_image as
well.
Best regards,
Adriano Ferreira
P.S. The patch is against the last revision encountered at Google
Subversion repository.
