Thanks for the quick response! This worked:
$mech->get("
http://www.google.com");
$mech->click({
xpath => q{//div[@id='guser']//a[@class='gb3']},
synchronize => 0
});
I need to click on a very specific link which is difficult to specify with an
xpath. In this case there are sets of very similar links and I only care
about the visible ones. Its the "Web | Yellowbook | eBay" links at the top of
http://charter.net/
my @buttons = grep { $mech->is_visible($_) }
$mech->xpath(q{//div[@class="search_cat"]//a});
$mech->follow_link($buttons[1]);
click() can't do this, as documented, but I dug into the code and discovered
the undocumented "dom" option which worked.
my @buttons = grep { $mech->is_visible($_) }
$mech->xpath(q{//div[@class="search_cat"]//a});
$mech->click({ dom => $buttons[1], synchronize => 0 });
Its handy! Should it be documented?
