Hi, I am having trouble submitting a form using the RCurl package. My code runs without errors but doesn't return the table I am after. I have a feeling it is because there are 2 submit buttons on the page and I'm not hitting the right one. I have tried everything I can think of to submit the form correctly but with no luck.
My current code is as follows. library(RCurl) library(XML) page<-postForm("http://tatts.com/racing/outletsearch.aspx", `main_0$racingmiddle_0$CityTextBox`="", `main_0$racingmiddle_0$PostcodeTextbox`="4000", `main_0$racingmiddle_0$StateDropDownList`="Queensland", `main_0$racingmiddle_0$SearchButton`="List Outlets") doc<-htmlParse(page,asText=TRUE) readHTMLTable(doc) Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent a considerable amount of time trying to solve this problem and this is as close as I have got to a solution.
