Hi David,

Thanks for your response. I came across a post where following is 
written:

"Try to find out what happens in your browser when you click that link. 
Does it create a POST or GET request? What are the parameters that are 
sent to the server. Once you know that, you can emulate the same action 
in your Mechanize script. Chrome dev tools / Firebug will help out."

Using Firebug, i have found the following in my case when Add is 
clicked:

<input id="cmd-add0-1-0" type="submit" name="cmd-add0-1-0" 
onclick="this.form.action='query.cgi#chart'; this.form.method='POST'; 
return 1;" value="And">

Any idea if i am able to emulate the same above action using mechanize. 
The problem is that i had written all code with mechanize. Now to change 
for watir will be lot of effort. Not sure if i can use pass the 
mechanize page and form objects to watir and continue with watir where 
mechanize is not able to work.

Please let me know.

regards.
