Re: [Htmlunit-user] Not able to submit a form

[Ahmed A. <asa...@ya...>]

Hi Nitin,

This is almost as my previous code.

If you save the page to a local file and see its output in real browser, you will see it didn't get the 'from'/'to'/'date' fields correctly, as it says "you need to specify" them.

I believe you need to know how the website detects values inside the <input> and use HtmlUnit accordingly.

Ahmed

Hi Ahmed,

I am doing it this way -

HtmlForm form = (HtmlForm)searchPage.getElementById("flights-form");                
                
if(form != null)
{                                     
                    (form.getInputByName("MDCity_1")).setValueAttribute("Los Angeles, CA - Los Angeles Intl Airport (LAX)");
                    (form.getInputByName("MDCity_2")).setValueAttribute("New York City, NY - All Airports (NYC)");

                    (form.getInputByName("DepDateMD1")).setValueAttribute("11/15/2013");

                    HtmlButton searchButton = form.getElementById("air-btn-submit-retl");                        

                    searchResultPage = searchButton.click();

                    while(!searchResultPage.getUrl().toString().contains("airlines"))
                    {
                        System.out.println("Waiting!!");
                        
                        Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
                        t.sleep(60 * 1000);

                        searchResultPage = (HtmlPage)webClient.getCurrentWindow().getEnclosedPage();
                        System.out.println("Page Content: " +
                        searchResultPage.asXml());
                    }

It is printing a blank page every time, and is not taking me to the results page. Please suggest what I am doing wrong.

Regards

Nitin
