How to use Mechanize on a page with no form?

Question

I am trying to write a website crawler with Mechanize, and I found that my target website is written in a SPA fashion, and although there are a bunch of text fields and buttons, there is no form!

How can I use mechanize to fill text fields and click buttons outside forms?

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem you did. I ended up using 'capybara', 'launchy' and 'selenium-webdriver' to do what 'mechanize' would have in non-JavaScript env
