[Htmlunit-user] Information on Server Is Not Updated

[Scott B. <sco...@gm...>]

Hi Everyone,

I've been testing HtmlUnit with a few sites; in all these sites,they have
elements such as a radio button or checkbox that when you click, then your
profile on that site is updated; you don't need to submit a form or
anything.  But when I take the exact same actions with HtmlUnit, my profile
on the server is not really updated.  Do I have to do something special
such as synchronizing the local copy of the page that HtmlUnit has with the
server so that the server sees the change?  As an example, I have added my
code for switching my resume on indeed.com from private/public and vice
versa.  When I visit the page on a browser, all I have to do is click one
of the two radio buttons to make the resume public/private; but when I do
the same on HtmlUnit, and then go and visit the page on a browser,  I can
see that the information on the server hasn't really been changed.  I've
included my code below.  Note that I have another method which logs in to
indeed.com, and I know that I login correctly.  Given this is happening
with my sites for me, I thought maybe there is something like synchronizing
with the server that I'm not doing.
