[Tutor] Accessing query results html frame : PLEASE READ ME :o)

[Karim]

Hello,

As I get no response from the tutor python list, I am continuing to 
investigate my problem.

In fact the issue is that there are 2 forms in the interactive page and 
my request does nothing
instead I get the interactive page not the submission I asked (query 
results). The 2 forms are:

   1. <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/ddts/ddts_main"
      ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" NAME="form1">
   2. <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/ddts/ddts_main"
      ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" NAME="form9">

And the parameters for each are:

1)
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="init" VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="LastForm" VALUE="SavedQuery">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="NextForm" VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="REMOTE_USER" VALUE="karim.liateni">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="ACTION" VALUE="Query"> 
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="ACTION" VALUE="Report"> 
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="ACTION" VALUE="Edit"> 
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="ACTION" VALUE="Delete"> 
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="ACTION" VALUE="Create" 
ONCLICK="oncreate()"> 
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="ACTION" VALUE="Create String Query">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME=".cgifields" VALUE="personalQuery">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME=".cgifields" VALUE="sharedQuery">

2)
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="LastForm" VALUE="DumpBug">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="REMOTE_USER" VALUE="karim.liateni">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="bug_id" VALUE="" SIZE=10 MAXLENGTH=10>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME=".submit" VALUE="View">

And I recall my data of the progam below:

data = {
        'init' : "",
        'LastForm': "SavedQuery",
        'prompted': "yes",
        'class': "Development",
        'personalQuery': "DKPV",
        'REMOTE_USER': username,
        'QS': "  -p DKPVALIDATION_PLUGIN \(Class 'isequal' 
"Development" \)",
        'use_field_defs':"false",
        'QueryName': "DKPV",
        'QueryType': "personal",
        'ACTION': "Query"
        }

So the question is how could I specify the correct FORM submission and 
how could I chose the correct action because
there are several TYPE='submit' and I am only interested by this one 
VALUE="Query"?

Regards
Karim
