Hello all,

I'm looking for help entering email & password details into the following page:

http://www.irishtimes.com/signin

I've been trying to use code from other recipes with subscription models but not having much success. So far I've come up with the following modified recipe:

__license__  = 'GPL v3'
__copyright__ = "2008, Derry FitzGerald. 2009 Modified by Ray Kinsella and David O'Callaghan, 2011 Modified by Phil Burns, 2013 Tom Scholl"

    title          = u'The Irish Times'
    __author__    = "Derry FitzGerald, Ray Kinsella, David O'Callaghan and Phil Burns, Tom Scholl"
    description = 'Daily news from The Irish Times'
    needs_subscription = True

            br['password'] = self.password
            raw = br.submit().read()

I've been entering the wrong password to verify that the login is occurring but no success. It could be perhaps incorrect form or submit names.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
