Re^4: How do I pull HTML form option values?

From what I can tell, WWW::Mechanize uses HTML::Form, which , in my opinion, does not parse the <select> tag properly. ... excerpt from source code

Hi,

I doubt rt://HTML-Form has issue with select tag.

On the aforementioned website, the distances in miles are provided by javascript.

HTML::Form, like WWW::Mechanize, doesn't run javascript. For that you'd need WWW::Mechanize::Firefox /..::Chrome/..::PhantomJS

You are right ! (++) The select has an event listener that somehow manages to populate the distance options .. although I could hot figure out how it did that. In my debug attempt, I did an "inspect" of the option, and saw the options populated, so I assumed they came from HTML. Thanks for identifying the issue! Memory fault -- brain fried	[reply]
