I’m trying to submit data in JSPWiki (edit page). I can read the data  
in the form, but nothings get saved when I submit the page. Cancel  
doesn’t work either. I don’t get any errors. There is no JavaScript  
used to submit the form.

After I’m logged in I do the following:

def save(page, content)  
@agent.get(@base\_url + “Edit.jsp?page=#{page}”)  
form = @agent.page.forms.with.name(‘editForm’)  
form.fields.name(’\_editedtext’).value = content  
form.submit(form.buttons.first)  
end

And this is the cancel method (the @agent already got the edit page)

def cancel  
form = @agent.page.forms.with.name(‘editForm’)  
form.submit(form.buttons.name(‘cancel’))  
end

Can you try turning on logging, and sending the log to the  
mechanize-users mailing list?

[http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group\_id=1453](http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=1453)

Then I can try to help you out more.
