    <p>i have a mechanize python script written for submitting forms to inquire drug information. and when i run it, it gives me no error message, but when i look at the response, it's not what I see on my browser view-source page. i checked the urls after the submission: </p> <p>here's what I got:</p> <p><a href="http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm</a></p> <p>here's addresses I'm supposed to get:</p> <p><a href="http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.DrugDetails" rel="nofollow">http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.DrugDetails</a></p> <p>I see that the second url does not contain my query text, does that mean i need cookies? if so, how?</p> <p>this is my code snippet:</p> <pre><code>br = mechanize.Browser() cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar() br.set_cookiejar(cj) .... br.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/6.0 (X11; U; i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071615 OS X 10.2 Firefox/3.0.1')] fda_url2 = 'http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Addlsearch_drug_name' print br.open(fda_url2).geturl() for f in br.forms(): print 'this is a form' print f br.select_form('searchoptionB') br.form['ApplNo'] = '018780' html = br.submit(name = 'Search_Button') print html.geturl() </code></pre> <p>the print form output was:</p> <pre><code>&lt;searchoptionB POST http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm application/x-www-form-urlencoded &lt;HiddenControl(fuseaction=Search.SearchAction) (readonly)&gt; &lt;HiddenControl(SearchType=AddlSearch) (readonly)&gt; &lt;HiddenControl(SearchOption=B) (readonly)&gt; &lt;TextControl(ApplNo=)&gt; &lt;SubmitControl(Search_Button=Submit) (readonly)&gt; &lt;SubmitControl(clearcriteria=Clear) (readonly)&gt;&gt; </code></pre> <p>sorry for the long post ;p</p>

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.
