short: How to execute/simulate javascript redirection with python Mechanize? <pre><code>location.href="http://www.site2.com/"; </code></pre> I've made a python script with mechanize module that looks for a link in a page and follows it. The problem is on a particular site that when I do <pre><code>br.follow_link("http://www.address1.com") </code></pre> he redirects me to this simple page: <pre><code><script language="JavaScript">{ location.href="http://www.site2.com/"; self.focus(); }</script> </code></pre> Now, if I do: <pre><code>br = mechanize.Browser(factory=mechanize.RobustFactory()) ... #other code br.follow_link("http://www.address1.com") for link in br.links(): br.follow_link(link) print link </code></pre> it doesn't prints anything, that means that there is no link in that page. But if I manually parse the page and I execute: <pre><code>br.open("http://www.site2.com") </code></pre> Site2 doesn't recognizes that I'm coming from "www.address1.com" and the script does not work as I would like! Sorry if it's just a newbie question and thank you in advance! p.s. I have br.set_handle_referer(True) EDIT: more info: Inspecting that link with Fiddler2 it looks like: <blockquote> GET <a href="http://www.site2.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.site2.com/</a> HTTP/1.1 Host: www.site2.com Connection: keep-alive User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,/;q=0.8 Referer: <a href="http://www.address1.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.address1.com</a> Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language: it-IT,it;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.6,en;q=0.4 Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3 Cookie: PHPSESSID=6e161axxxxxxxxxxx; user=myusername; pass=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; ip=79.xx.xx.xx; agent=a220243a8b8f83de64c6204a5ef7b6eb; __utma=154746788.943755841.1348303404.1350232016.1350241320.43; __utmb=154746788.12.10.1350241320; __utmc=154999999; __utmz=154746788.134999998.99.6.utmcsr=google|utmccn=(organic)|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=%something%something% </blockquote> so it seems to be a cookie problem?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
