Mark, Looking at the docs, I couldn't see a way either. :/
So, I whipped up a quick example with HTML::TokeParser::Simple. It's searching for "size" rather than "maxlength", but you get the idea. use WWW::Mechanize; use HTML::TokeParser::Simple; my $www = WWW::Mechanize->new; $www->get( 'http://search.cpan.org/' ); my $content = $www->content; my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( \$content ); while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) { next unless $token->is_tag( 'input' ); my $attr = $token->return_attr; print 'size = ' . $attr->{ size } if $attr->{ size }; } -Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Stosberg > Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 12:08 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: a way to get at form tag attributes? > > Hello, > > I'm interested in getting at the "maxlength" attribute value of an input > tag.
