Try this :

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'pp'

user = 'stacktest'
password = 'abcdefghijklmn1'

agent = Mechanize.new
page = agent.get 'https://job.jobnet.dk/CV/Login/Login.aspx'


form = page.form_with(:action => 'Login.aspx')
form.field_with(:name => "ctl00$ctl00$JobnetBaseMiddelContent$LoginContentPlaceHolder$txtUsername").value = user
form.field_with(:name => "ctl00$ctl00$JobnetBaseMiddelContent$LoginContentPlaceHolder$txtPassword").value = password
page = form.click_button

pp page
