Glad to hear it!

This seems to be because of the <br/> tags. When I run things through
'tidy', tidy.sf.net/, showforms works:
...
Form name=loginForm
## __Name______ __Type___ __ID________ __Value__________________
redir hidden (None)
handle text (None)
password password (None)
remember checkbox (None) ['on'] of ['on']
1 image (None)
...
Partly as a result of this, and partly because I felt like it ;), I've
added in a couple of 'tidy' features.
First of all, twill will now run tidy on all Web pages before processing
forms, links, or titles. This can be disabled by executing
config do_run_tidy 0
twill runs tidy by executing the 'tidy' binary; if it's not installed or
not in the path, it will fail gracefully and ignore the absence. You
can *require* that tidy exist by executing
config tidy_should_exist 1
I'll post a new -latest in a bit.
cheers,
