I try to submit a form by Mechanize, however, I am not sure how to add necessary form valuables which are done by some Javascript. Since Mechanize does not support Javascript yet, and so I try to add the variables manually.

The form source:

<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="list.aspx" language="javascript" onkeypress="javascript:return WebForm_FireDefaultButton(event, '_ctl0_ContentPlaceHolder1_cmdSearch')" id="aspnetForm">

<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET" id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTARGUMENT" id="__EVENTARGUMENT" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__LASTFOCUS" id="__LASTFOCUS" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/..." />

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var theForm = document.forms['aspnetForm'];
if (!theForm) {
    theForm = document.aspnetForm;
}
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
    if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) {
        theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget;
        theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
        theForm.submit();
    }
}
// -->
</script>

<script language="javascript">
<!--
var _linkpostbackhit = 0;
function _linkedClicked(id, key, str, a, b) {
    if (!b || !_linkpostbackhit) {
        if (!a) {
            __doPostBack(key, id);
            _linkpostbackhit = 1;
        } else {
            if (window.confirm(str)) {
                __doPostBack(key, id);
                _linkpostbackhit = 1;
             }
        }
     }
    return void(0);
}
// -->
</script>

...

<a href="JavaScript:_linkedClicked('123456','_ctl0:ContentPlaceHolder1:Link', '',0,1);">123456</a>

...

</form>

I tried to add the 2 variables:

page.forms.first['__EVENTTARGET']   = '_ctl0:ContentPlaceHolder1:Link'
page.forms.first['__EVENTARUGMENT'] = '123456'

and submit the form:

page.forms.first.click_button(page.forms.first.buttons.first)

The result returned only (re)show the current list of links as if I have not clicked on any of the links.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
