Subject: Problems with mechanize and fields embedded in tables

I'm working with the following versions:

    ruby			1.8.2
    libwww-mechanize-ruby	0.6.10

and have run across an odd problem. One site that I'm trying to scrape
has started embedding form fields inside of tables, and mechanize no
longer recognizes them as fields.

The fields are there in the HTML code, but aren't accessible to
mechanize. I've tried a couple of work-arounds, but field_add! doesn't
seem to support adding check boxes or file upload fields (is there
another way to add them explicitly?), and I can't see any other way to
find those embedded fields.

If this is a bug in mechanize, how do I report it? If it's a bug in the
coder, what can I do to resolve the problem?
