Two Identical IE Form Names

[AcidCorps]

Ok I'm making a script that logs into an online notepad and saves data but when I get to the form that allows you to write the note it has two forms with the same name.

well actually neither have a name which I've learned means to use '0'

$oIE = _IECreate('http://www.jotthisdown.com/index.php')
If StringInStr(StringTrimRight(_IEBodyReadText($oIE), StringInStr(_IEBodyReadText($oIE), @CRLF, 0, -1)), 'Welcome Back') = 0 Then ; checks to see if you are already logged in
     $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, 'loginform')
     $oUser = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 'username')
     $oPassword = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 'password')
     $oSubmit = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 'Submit')
     _IEFormElementSetValue($oUser, $iUser)
     _IEFormElementSetValue($oPassword, $iPassword)
     _IEAction($oSubmit, 'click')
 EndIf

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, '0')
$oNotes = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 'notes')
$oSubmit = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 'Submit1')
_IEFormElementSetValue($oNotes, 'Test')

No name doesn't mean use 0...

This is what you want:

_IEFormGetCollection

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Returns a collection object variable representing the Forms in the document or a single form by index.

right when I do that I get two forms named 0

[DaleHohm]

When you do what?

[AcidCorps]

$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)
MsgBox(0, "Forms Info", "There are " & @extended & " forms on this page")
For $oForm In $oForms
    MsgBox(0, "Form Info", $oForm.name)
Next

Taken from _IEFormGetCollection help file

Edit:

I just made a Username: Demo, Password: Demo account in case it would help to see the form I'm using

Pass an index parameter to _IEFormGetCollection to reference a specific form.

Snip from help file:

#include <IE.au3> 
_IEFormGetCollection ( ByRef $o_object [, $i_index = -1] )
...
$i_index Optional: specifies whether to return a collection or indexed instance
0 or positive integer returns an indexed instance
-1 = (Default) returns a collection

So if you want form number two, then use:

_IEFormGetColection ($oIE, 1)

Also from the help file...

; *******************************************************
; Example 1 - Get a reference to a specific form by 0-based index,
;               in this case the first form on the page
; *******************************************************
;
#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.google.com")
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm, 1)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery, "AutoIt IE.au3")
_IEFormSubmit ($oForm)

[AcidCorps]

$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)
$oForm2 = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE,1)
