Accessing hidden field values using Ruby Mechanize

Question

I am trying to access the form values of hidden fields so I can set them or retrieve them.

I tried the form.field_with() method as well as just form.fieldname and cannot figure out how to get a reference back for a hidden field.

Answer 1

In general you just do:

form['foo'] = 'bar'

That goes for all kinds of form fields, not just hiddens.
