Filling out a form using PyQt and QWebview

Question

I would like to use PyQt/QWebview to 1) load a specific url, 2) enter information into a form, 3) click buttons/links. Mechanize does not work because I need an actual browser. Here's my code: ``` import sys from PyQt4.QtCore import * from PyQt4.QtGui import * from PyQt4.QtWebKit import * from PyQt4 import QtCore app = QApplication(sys.argv) web = QWebView() web.load(QUrl("https://www.lendingclub.com/account/gotoLogin.action")) def fillForm(): doc = web.page().mainFrame().documentElement() user = doc.findFirst("input[id=master_username]") passwd = doc.findFirst("input[id=master_password]") user.setAttribute("value", "email@email.com") passwd.setAttribute("value", "password") button = doc.findFirst("input[id=master_sign-in-submit]") button.evaluateJavaScript("click()") QtCore.QObject.connect(web, QtCore.SIGNAL("loadFinished"), fillForm) web.show() sys.exit(app.exec_()) ``` The page loads correctly, but no input is entered and the form is not submitted. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

This helped me to make it work:

```
user.setAttribute("value", "email@email.com")
-->
user.evaluateJavaScript("this.value = 'email@email.com'")
```

Attribute and property are different things.

One more fix:

```
click() --> this.click()
```
