Question

I am trying to fill up a form that has following fields :
old password , new password , verify password

<b><u>Please Enter the Informations</u></b><br>
<form method=post action="chpass.php?action=changepass">
<table border=0>
<tr><td>LAN UserName</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>Old password</td><td><input type="password" name="password"></td></tr>
<tr><td>New password</td><td><input type="password" name="password1"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Conform password</td><td><input type="password" name="password2"></td></tr>
tr><td colspan=2 align=center>
<input type=submit name="submit" value="submit">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<form><input type="button" onClick="show();" value="Logout"></form>

Using following piece of code in python:

br.open('url_of_form')
br.select_form(nr=0)
br['password']='abc'
br['password1']='bcdef'
br['password2']='bcdef'
br.submit()

I have used this piece of code before to login to site but this isn’t working while trying to change password . The error message says ‘ParseError: nested FORMs’ .

what am i doing wrong ?

You have two open tags and one close tag “form”. Maybe its a problem? Try to use grab
