Solved this using MouseClick("primary", 299, 47, 1) Not really ideal but it works.

Hello everyone, Having an issue with getting AutoIT clicking a button on a page. The page is HTML with a bar at the bottom which is created by a JAVA code. The Java code looks like this: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- //<![CDATA[ blah.addLoadEvent(function(){ var hotKeys = new Corp.Event.hotKeyManager(); hotKeys.add(KEY_V, false, function() {$('save').down('button').click();}); hotKeys.add(KEY_R, false, function() {$('reset').up('form').reset();}); hotKeys.add(KEY_D, false, function() {$('delete').down('button').click();}); hotKeys.add(KEY_K, false, function() {$('reactivate').down('button').click();}); hotKeys.add(KEY_H, false, function() {$('repeatSearch').down('button').click();}); }); //]]> --> </script> The button I am wanting to click is: hotKeys.add(KEY_K, false, function() {$('reactivate').down('button').click();}); Optionally I can do a shortcut key combo (ctrl+alt+k) but I'm having little issue getting that correct as well. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Cheers

Hmmm not sure what has happened but now it works. No code has been changed remains as this: $dob = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oform1, "subject.birthDate") _IEFormElementSetValue($dob, "12/12/1960") What wasn't working is now working.......weird

Alright I am little closer now. With this code I had before: $dob = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oform1, "subject.birthDate") _IEFormElementSetValue($dob, "12/12/1960") It does write the 12/12/1960 value in the calendar (and not the text field.....) I discovered that when I ran this code: _IEImgClick ($oform1, "cal.gif", "src") It pops up the calendar window and I can see that the values are there. However, next problem I have now is to close the window (if I confirm with the Enter key it will close), but if I try and send("{ENTER}") it does not actually do anything. So my next issue is to close the window by confirming with the enter key or.. Find out why it sticks the value in the calendar and not on the text field next to it... Any ideas?

I tried that too (being super excited) but same behaviour there too. $dob = _IEGetObjById ($oform1, "subject.birthDate") _IEFormElementSetValue($dob, "12/12/1960")

Just for kicks I added this in my script: for $i = 0 to 10000 _IEFormElementSetValue($dob, "12/12/1960") Next Just thinking, maybe the script is running too fast? But it still runs and attempts to add a value there 10000 times without luck.

Yup, tried that too - even 12\12\1966 just to see but nothing is hitting the DOB field (as in, no text is entered - it remains untouched)

Noticed now that the DOB field also has a button on the side which brings up a calendar when clicked. Appears to be a DHTML (Dynamic HTML with some Ajax code). Not sure if that helps or not, but i'll keep investigating the issue.

Yes, the statements are on two seperate lines I ran the msgbox again (hoping I did this correct) with the following syntax: $dob = _IEFormElementSetValue($dob, "12121966") msgbox(0, "Error Code", @error) Which returned 0 The site is an internal site. I'll try and paste more snippets of my code: $oForm1 = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "checkSubmitForm") $office = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "officeCode") $ctype = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "type") $catg = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "category") $purp = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "purpose") $primaryN = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "subject.names(1000).type") $famname = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "subject.names(1000).familyName") $givenname = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "subject.names(1000).firstGivenName") $dob = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "subject.birthDate") <-- No errors $gender = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "subject.gender") $country1 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "subject.birthPlace.country") $addrtype1 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "subject.addresses(1000).type") $addrtype2 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "subject.addresses(1000).line") $country2 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "subject.addresses(1000).country") $notes = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oform1, "note") ; Set field values in the form _IEFormElementSetValue($office, "FF") _IEFormElementSetValue($ctype, "INDIV") _IEFormElementSetValue($catg, "IMMI") _IEFormElementSetValue($purp, "Automation Test") _IEFormElementSetValue($primaryN, "PRIM") _IEFormElementSetValue($famname, "test") _IEFormElementSetValue($givenname, "test") _IEFormElementSetValue($dob, "12121966") <-- Not typing _IEFormElementSetValue($gender, "M") As said before, everything works except for the DOB, I can email you the screenshot and\or part of the HTML code if this internal site if you like?

I ran the code you mentioned above and the messagebox returned 0.

From memory yes, but I will confirm the exact return message from Scite tomorrow.

The difference is that most of the fields are a dropdown list with values and some are a free text field (you can type anything you want). The DOB has the option to enter text or you can click on the calendar icon on the side to specify the date you want from there. Hope that makes sense?

appologies for the format

Hi everyone,I need some help with forms using IE.The form I am working has lots of fields with values I can select from.Good news is that I managed to script just about all of them except for 1.The troublesome one is a "Date of Birth" field and the source code looks like this: <div class="corp-form-part"><div id="" style="" class="corp-form-item"><label>Birth Date<span class="mandatory">*</span></label><input type="text" name="subject.birthDate" value="" id="subject.birthDate" class="corp-calendar "></div> My script looks like this: $dob = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oform1, "subject.birthDate") _IEFormElementSetValue($dob, "12121966") But when I execute my script nothing happens and there is no error in my Scite Console either. I used _IEFormElementGetObjByName & _IEFormElementSetValue for all my other fields without any issues but for this DOB it just wont enter anything. Any help would be grealty appriciated. Cheers
