Mechanize and Radiobuttons

Ruby
1

I have found Mechanize fairly intuitive and easy to use. (after
learning some HTML! :)) and wondered if I’m doing something wrong when
using radiobuttons.

There are two radio buttons on the form I am working with and wondered
if when I set the second button

forms.radiobuttons[1].checked=true

It leaves radiobuttons[0] (the default button on the form) checked
value as true as well.

It’s no problem to just set the originally set radiobutton
forms.radiobuttons[0]=false, but since that’s not how a radio button
control would work in a browser, I thought I might be doing something
wrong.

Thanks for producing such an awesome tool!

That’s probably an HTML problem in the form. See
HTML Forms for an example. Note that
the name attribute must be set to the same string for each button in
the group.
