Process a FORM with <input type="Image" ...>

[Denis Molony]

I have a form that I'm trying to use htmlunit to log-in somewhere, which looks like this:

<form name="CFForm_1" action="authenticate.cfm" method="POST" onsubmit="return _CF_checkCFForm_1(this)">

<tr>

  <td align=right><font class="Standard">Your Email</td>

  <td><input name="Emailaddress" id="Emailaddress" type="text" style="width:170px"  size="25"  class="Standard"  /></td>

</tr>

<tr>

  <td><font class="Standard">&nbsp;</td>

  <td><input type="Image" src="images/submit2.gif" width="108" height="20" border="0"></td>

</tr>

</form>

The problem is that the submit button is an image, and it has no name. On the example page, the button is obtained like this:

    final HtmlSubmitInput button = form.getInputByName("submitbutton");

My question is - how do I get the HtmlSubmitInput element in order to execute this line:

    final HtmlPage page2 = button.click();

I think what I need is form.getInputByType ("Image"), but that method doesn't seem to be exist. Is there another way do do this?

Dear Denis,

 

Try

 

HtmlImageInput input = page.getFirstByXPath("//image[@type='Image']");

input.click();

Hi Ahmed

Thanks for that. I got it to work with only minor modifications:

final HtmlImageInput input = page1.getFirstByXPath ("//input[@type='image']");

Interestingly, htmlunit converted the type attribute to lower case, so at first I couldn't find the tag.

Also, don't you think it would be better for the Form class to have a getInputByType() method? It already has other convenience methods for this sort of thing.

Thanks again.
