Question about the function _IEFormElementCheckboxSelect

I looked at the source to gather info about the checkbox, but it indicates that name but no value for the checkbox. how would I go about selecting it. Only 1 checkbox. Here's the sniplet from the source.

<Input Type=Checkbox Name=cbMarkKeyExportable ID=cbMarkKeyExportable onclick="handleMarkExport(false);"><Label For=cbMarkKeyExportable ID=locMarkExportLabel>Mark keys as exportable</Label>

I can use IEAction to click on it but without assuming the initial state of the checkbox, I can't tell with the click I am making is checking or unchecking the checkbox. Hopefully there is a way to do it with _IEFormElementCheckboxSelect w/o a value. Thanks in advance.

This is assuming that the form the checkbox is in is the first form on the page.

$sURL = "www.your-webpage.com"
$oIE = _IEAttach($sURL, "url")
If Not IsObj($oIE) Then
    $oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
EndIf

$oForm = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oIE, 0)
_IEFormElementCheckboxSelect ($oForm, 0, "cbMarkKeyExportable", 1, "byIndex")

Gawd that was confusing, seeing who posted the question, then the one that answered it!!

$oForm = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oIE, 0)
_IEFormElementCheckboxSelect ($oForm, 0, "cbMarkKeyExportable", 1, "byIndex")

I gave it a try but it didn't work. Nothing happens to the checkbox. I have attached the whole source from that page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had _IEFormElementGetCollection where I should have had _IEFormGetCollection.

$sURL = "www.your-webpage.com"
$oIE = _IEAttach($sURL, "url")
If Not IsObj($oIE) Then
    $oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
EndIf

$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
_IEFormElementCheckboxSelect ($oForm, 0, "cbMarkKeyExportable", 1, "byIndex")

@Smoke - That is confusing!

Unfortunately, same behavior. Checkbox never checks.

I'd like to point out that this block of code:

$sURL = "www.your-webpage.com"
$oIE = _IEAttach($sURL, "url")
If Not IsObj($oIE) Then
    $oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
EndIfoÝ÷ Ø&§mêÞ¦VyÜ"¶®¶­sbb33c·5U$ÂÒgV÷C·wwrç÷W"×vV'vRæ6öÒgV÷C°¢b33c¶ôRÒôT7&VFRb33c·5U$ÂÂ

I noted that that construct was very common practice, so I incorporated the functionality in _IECreate.

The second parameter is the $try_attach parameter that will first try an attach to a browser at that URL and then do a create if necessary. The @extended value will tell you if the attach succeeded or not.

It didn't like the name being in there for some reason.

#include <IE.au3>

$sURL = "www.your-webpage.com"
$oIE = _IECreate($sURL, 1)

$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
_IEFormElementCheckboxSelect ($oForm, 0, "", 1, "byIndex")

@Dale - Thanks, I forgot all about that being there.
