I am using mechanize
and I am trying to select a button from a radio button list. This list has 5 items. How can I select the first item? Docs didn't help me.
>>> br.form
<ClientForm.HTMLForm instance at 0x9ac0d4c>
>>> print(br.form)
<form1 POST http://www.example.com application/x-www-form-urlencoded
<HiddenControl(DD=17010200) (readonly)>
<RadioControl(prodclass=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5])>
<SubmitControl(submit=text) (readonly)>>
To set a radio button to checked/unchecked, select the element and set its checked property to true or false , e.g. myRadio. checked = true . When set to true , the radio button becomes checked and all other radio buttons with the same name attribute become unchecked. Here is the HTML for the examples in this article.
When focus moves to the group in which a radio button is selected, pressing Tab and Shift+Tab keys move focus to the radio button that is checked. Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys move focus and selection. Up Arrow key press moves focus and selection forward through the radio buttons in the group.
To create each radio button option, create a RadioButton in your layout. However, because radio buttons are mutually exclusive, you must group them together inside a RadioGroup . By grouping them together, the system ensures that only one radio button can be selected at a time.
It should be as simple as
br.form['prodclass'] = ['1']
I prefer the more verbose:
br.form.set_value(['1'],name='prodclass')
