How to click a submit button in QWebView?

Question

I have the following code (excluded class constructor etc) - I am using PySide btw:

self.view = QWebView()

frame = self.view.page().mainFrame()
document = frame.documentElement()
search = document.findFirst("input[name=q]")
search.setAttribute("value", "srbija")

button = document.findFirst("input[name=btnK]")

As you may have noticed, this is straight from google.com homepage. I am trying to basically search the page. But I can't figure out click the "Google Search" button. The documentation only mentions the button.evaluateJavaScript("click()"), but this only calls the JS method - I don't need any JS methods in this case, I need to actually click the button.

Does this help? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1219880/how-to-follow-a-link-in-qwebkit — HostileFork says dont trust SE, Apr 19 '12 at 19:16
@HostileFork why yes, yes it does. So it was just the matter of replacing `click()` with `this.click()` This reminds me, I really need to learn JavaScript... Thanks a lot! — Bo Milanovich, Apr 19 '12 at 23:54

In order to close this so it does not look unanswered... :)

Try replacing click() with this.click(), as per this question:
