W^HBankers

Why is it that banks tend to have such piss-poor html and rely so heavily on scripting for their online banking? I thought that whipping up a Finance::Bank::BankNorth would be easy but I'm going to have to battle Javascript and frames. Bastards.

Quick WWW::Mechanize/WWW::Form tip: if you need to change hidden fields (say for example that your bank uses Javascript heavily) you might need a local $^W = 0 to silence the warnings.


Write that up, please

I'd love it if you could write up a FAQ-style example of how to handle that, so I can drop it in WWW::Mechanize::FAQ. Just mail it to me at andy@petdance.com.
