button.click() & form.submit() failing

[Jason B. Archibald]

In view of the other posts relating to this, I have found several of my scripts that run fine with version 1.5.4, now fail with version 1.6.

there is no javascript on the page referenced. here is a snippit of the code.

HTML
<form name="Form" method="POST" action="Payment1?action=preview">

...  form stuff.. ..

<input type="image" name="action" src="prev.gif" alt="Preview Request" border="0" value="PreviewRequest">.
</form>

then, in my code I simply get the form and try to submit it.

WebForm form = getForm( "Form" );
form.submit();
/// this fails with 1.6, but worked with 1.5.4

so I tried the following

SubmitButton button=form.getSubmitButton("action");
System.out.println(button.toString());
form.submit(button);

My System.out.println returns,
Submit with action=PreviewRequest
Which is exactly what it should find.  but still the form is not getting submitted.

Any ideas .. anybody?

I had a similar problem.

Try to use a Button and not a SubmitButton.
The behavior changed in httpunit 1.6

-- snip --
Button[] buttons = form.getButtons();

    try{
      buttons[0].click();
    }
    catch(Exception sax_ex){
      throw new Exception("blubber");
    }
-- snip --
