Re: [Htmlunit-user] Buildind an Orkut bot

I think form.submit() will submit the form *without* actually 
"clicking" the Login button.  It may sound counter-intuitive, but some 
web applications (esp. Jakarta Struts) require the button value to be 
submitted so that they know what action the user took.  (I realize the 
web site is using ASP[X], but it may work in a similar fashion.)

Try to get an object for the Login button (using the form object or the 
page object), then call click() on the Login button object, the see if 
the page object returned is what you're expecting.

Remember, you must think like the web browser, or in other words, 
WWMWBD: "What would my web browser do?"  :)
