    How to select a checkbox on an HTML page

    Hi,
    The below code extracts the branch number and the test environment to deploy that particular branches build on from a txt file (branch_dest.tx t). Then it parses HTML pages to reach a webpage which contains some checkboxes. I want to check the "Select/Deselect All" checkbox and then click the "Deploy" button on that webpage.

    How do i code this? I am basically from QA(Tester). So please help.

    Code:
    URL = "http://11.12.13.27:8080/cruisecontrol"
    
    from urllib2 import urlopen
    from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
    
    import re
    
    # Fetching links using HTMLParser
    def get_links(url):
        parser = MyHTMLParser()
        parser.feed(urlopen(url).read())
        parser.close()
        return parser.links
    
    # Build url for Deploy page
    def get_deploy_url():
        url = URL + "/buildresults/xxx_%s_nightly_build" % branch
        print url
        for link in get_links(url):
            if link["href"].startswith("Deploy"):
                return "%s/%s" % (URL, link["href"])
            print link["href"]
    
    # Build url for Destination page
    def get_destination_url():
        url = get_deploy_url()
        print url
        destination_re = re.compile(r"%s" % destination)
        for link in get_links(url):
            if destination_re.search(link["href"]):
                return "http://11.12.13.27:8080/cruisecontrol/" + link["href"]
    
    # Parsing HTML pages 
    class MyHTMLParser(HTMLParser):
        def __init__(self, *args, **kwd):
            HTMLParser.__init__(self, *args, **kwd)
            self.links = []
    
        def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs):
            if tag == "a":
                attrs = dict(attrs)
                if "href" in attrs:
                    self.links.append(dict(attrs))
    
        def handle_endtag(self, tag):
            pass
    
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        # Read the branch name and the test destination to deploy on
        lines = [x.split(':') for x in open("branch_dest.txt")]
        print lines
        branch = "%s" % lines[0][1].strip()
        print branch
        destination = "%s" % lines[1][1].strip()
        print destination
        
        final_url = get_destination_url()
        if final_url is None:
            print "Could not find a destination to deploy"
        else:
            print final_url
Working...
