I am attempting to have mechanize select a form from a page, but the form in question has no "name" attribute in the html. What should I do? when I try to use
br.select_form(name = "")
I get errors that no form is declared with that name, and the function requires a name input. There is only one form on the page, is there some other way I can select that form?
Try:
br.select_form(nr=0)
to select the first form
In Mechanize source,
def select_form(self, name=None, predicate=None, <b>nr=None</b>):
"""
...
nr, if supplied, is the sequence number of the form (where 0 is the
first).
"""
If you want to execute code for multiple forms no matter what their name is, you can loop over every form letting your script knowing which form will work next.
currentForm = 0
for form in br.forms(): # Iterate over the forms
br.select_form(nr = currentForm) # Select the form
'''
The code you want to run for every form
'''
currentForm += 1 # Add 1 to the current working form so the script knows what form is working next
