[Htmlunit-user] HtmlForm getAllSubmittableElements

[Gary L. <ch...@ya...>]

Hey all,
Unless I am mistaken, HtmlForm.getAllSubmittableElements() iterates
over only one level of decendant children (if that's the correct wya to
put it), and doesn't check deeper into the DOM for submittable form
elements. Is this true?

example:

<form blah>
<div onlyChild>
    <span spanBlah>text<span>
    <table twoBlah>
       <tr threeblah>
         <td fourBlah> <input bingo></td>
         <td fourBlah> <input type="image" id="clickMe"></td>
       </tr>
    </table>
</div>
</form>

in the case above if I were to click on the image with id "clickMe"
getAllSubmittableElements() gets called during the call to [submit(
final SubmittableElement submitElement )] where the element submitted
is the "clickMe" image. getAllSubmittableElements() calls
getChildElementsIterator() which gives me an iterator over what appears
to be the only child, the div "onlyChild" (nice name, eh?). So, while
the image name gets submitted, the value of the input "bingo" doesn't.

of course the resaon I ask this is that I am trying to get HtmlUnit
running on our current application and I can't edit text values. The
pages have a large number of form elements of all types and they are
firmly embedded deep within every kind of html tag. HttpUnit works
great for us for checking form values and such, but is a bear when we
want to check anything else on the page. Any clues as to how to submit
the form values from within deeply embedded html elments?

thanks
gary
