I want to tick checkboxes, select radio buttons, write in text boxes and finally click on submit button to submit the form on a page. Programming in PYTHON only. How do i achieve this?
There are quite some solution. You can explore them and come back with a program, if it does not work.

I'm trying to click a button with python and mechanize. The button looks like this:
<span>VOTE NOW!</span>
when going to the link manually, (www.example.com/#vote). It doesn't work. For some reason, it needs to click the button in the browser. I believe it runs a js script as when you click the button a small menu appears, with a form.
I've tried to look at what the form is, and what my script grabs from the main site, and don't find anything close to #vote.
I need to be able to click the button, to access the form, and submit data to the form, but can't find what to 'click'.
I am looking for resources or guide so that I could build a Python code to fill my ~2k online forms automatically. Sorry I dont have any script to share as many resources in which python code is written to go to form URL and fill it. Since in my case it is a pop up form it doesnt really have a real URL.
Please be kind, I am new to Python.
Is there a way to do something to imitate clicks on browser window and fill in new values in the form ?
You can imitate clicks in the browser using selenium https://realpython.com/modern-web-automation-with-python-and-selenium/. There are plenty of tutorials how to do that.
Other tools would be:

If you don't want to write code - an
extension in the browser: https://www.seleniumhq.org/projects/ide/
I have searched the forums and found some information regarding this, but not quite with the problem I'm facing. I am automating the uploading of files to a website. Unfortunately, the website uses a counter for the id of the "browse" button. Using Selenium and Firebug, I was able to find another way to identify the button. I have exported the script into python to add variables so I can automate. However, the browse button opens a windows popup to select the file. The script is started out like this...
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#type=\"file\"]").click()
driver.find_element_by_id("upfile_1405369589849").clear()
driver.find_element_by_id("upfile_1405369589849").send_keys("path\\file")
driver.find_element_by_id("upload_button").click()
In this, the upload button is clicked, the popup appears, and it sits there mocking me. I tried using the xpath in place of the id, but that didn't work. I tried the following, too...
driver.findElement(By.id()).send_keys("path\\file")
and tried this...
driver.find_element_by_id("upfile_*").send_keys("path\\file")
I cant seem to get the window to respond, other than it's mocking glare. Any help to squelch this would be very appreciated.
It can´t be done. One workaround is to get the development team to modify the AUT for you. Add a javascipt function into the page that will allow you to pass the filename to the handler without having to click the browse button.
If you can´t do that, I would suggest that you look into Sikuli that will allow you to interact with the windows prompt using pattern recognition (screenshots) of what you want to interact with.
I want to create a webpage. In it there is a go_to button named goto_button. Whenever the user presses this button the new webpage will be called and the old one will be destroyed. To do this, I have to put a button on the web page, in the html file. However how can I switch from one web page to another? The go_to webpage address is www.kleol.com
if button is pressed
go to web-page kleol // how can I do that?
NOTE: I am new to Django.
Simple HTML tag like the following will work:
Go to Kleol
There's nothing that is django related.It is simple html.
I want to trigger a button of a html file.
There is a web site in which there are number of options and a button.
After clicking on the button, using the options, a html table is created on next page.
I want to automate the process but I dont know how I can trigger a button using python.
DO anyone knows about the same?
You can use windmill, mechanize or selenium RC.
