value for button not submitted to server #19

Closed wichert closed 14 years ago

wichert commented 14 years ago

I have a form with a couple of submit buttons which look liks this:

<button type="submit" name="action" value="publish">Publish</button> <button type="submit" name="action" value="preview">Preview</button>

When I click on one of those buttons mechanize submits the form, but does not include an action value in the request data.

Debugging this shows that this goes wrong in ScalarControl._totally_ordered_pairs() for the SubmitButtonControl instance: disabled is set to True, so no pair is returned.

.. and further debugging shows that the button actually is disabled. Normally that is not true since a javascript will always enable it, but obviously that does not happen here.
