Posting data using web client

Question

I am creating a submit button using a web client, but it's not working.

This is the code, which I am using:

 HtmlElement button = firstPage.createElement("button");
 button.setAttribute("type", "submit");
 button.setAttribute("name", "submit");
 form.appendChild(button);
 System.out.println(form.asXml());
 HtmlPage pageAfterLogin = button.click();

I want to post a data using webclient but i have problem on submit button because i am not getting submit button object in page source.so that i am creating own button using this code. — narendra, Jun 22 '12 at 05:33
what is the librairy used?... htmlUnit? Can we see the corresponding HTML? — tibo, Jun 25 '12 at 02:17
Never name a form element "submit". It can "overwrite" the `submit()` method of the form. — RoToRa, Jun 28 '12 at 13:28

HtmlUnit, how to post form without clicking submit button?
