    <p><strong>UPD</strong> Regarding your comment. Here's my test file:</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python import mechanize import cookielib 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() print br.response().read() </code></pre> <p>And this is what I get when running it:</p> <pre><code>$ ./test.py | grep HUM &lt;td valign="top" class="product_table" height="24"&gt;&lt;a href="index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Overview&amp;DrugName=HUMULIN%20R"&gt; HUMULIN R INSULIN RECOMBINANT HUMAN &lt;td valign="top" class="product_table" height="24"&gt;&lt;a href="index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Overview&amp;DrugName=HUMULIN%20R%20PEN"&gt; HUMULIN R PEN INSULIN RECOMBINANT HUMAN </code></pre> <p>Maybe you've somehow changed your script or query a different page?</p> <hr> <p>Have you tried to submit this form in a browser?</p> <p>If I navigate to <a href="http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Addlsearch_drug_name" rel="nofollow">this URL</a>, fill in "Option B" with "018780" and hit "Submit", the browser indeed redirects me to <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>, which contains the search results.</p> <p>Try adding this to the end of your code snippet:</p> <pre><code>print br.response().read() </code></pre> <p>This will output the HTML of the page, and it does contain search results as expected. </p> <blockquote> <p>I see that the second url does not contain my query text, does that mean i need cookies? if so, how?</p> </blockquote> <p>This form is sent via POST, and in this case all parameters are embedded in request body (RFC 2616).</p>

    1. COi rechecked and the response indeed is there, but i couldn't see it before because it was cut off in the middle, like the page stopped loading abruptly, and the link to the drug page displayed first, but the drug name couldn't make it. after i navigate to this link, this time the html response is fully loaded, but the contents are different from what i see in chrome. you can find 'HUM' in chrome source of this page, but not in mechanize. the link is: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Overview&DrugName=HUMULIN%20R

    3. COi've sorted the first part out by relaxing my wait time.but after i got the drug name and opened drug detail link,the response content is wrong.link: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Overview&DrugName=HUMULIN%20R. this is what should come up: `<td width="20%" valign="top" height="32" class="product_table">INJECTABLE; INJECTION&nbsp;</td> <td width="20%" valign="top" height="32" class="product_table">500 UNITS/ML&nbsp;</td> <td width="20%" valign="top" height="32" class="product_table">Prescription</td> ` what u think caused the problem?

Querying!

 
Guidance
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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
