help! IEFormGetCollection simple signin script

[speedi]

I guess I do not understand the ieform commands... I can't get a simple login script to work.

It does not populate the "username" and "password" fields.. Looking for help... Thanks..

The script:

; loigin script

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("https://www.dealerspeed.net/")

_IELoadWait ($oIE)

WinSetState("DealerSpeed", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

WinWaitActive("DealerSpeed | Login - Windows Internet Explorer","")

$o_Form = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)

$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "idForm")

$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwordForm")

$username = "user"

$password = "password"

; Set field values and submit the form

_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)

_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)

Exit

Make sure you use DebugBar (or something similar) to examine the HTML structure. Post the messages written to the SciTe console when you run your code.

the messages posted on the scite console are as follows:

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEFormElementGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEFormElementGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IEFormElementSetValue, $_IEStatus_InvalidDataType

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IEFormElementSetValue, $_IEStatus_InvalidDataType

not sure I understand -- I did this routine to get the fomr names:

; *******************************************************

; Example 3 - Get a reference to the collection of forms on a page,

; and then loop through them displaying information for each

; demonstrating use of form index

; *******************************************************

;

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate ("https://www.dealerspeed.net/")

$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)

$iNumForms = @extended

MsgBox(0, "Forms Info", "There are " & $iNumForms & " forms on this page")

For $i = 0 to $iNumForms - 1

$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, $i)

MsgBox(0, "Form Info", $oForm.name)

Next

Look carefully at the messages from the console. They may look complicated, but they are not. Notice the two $_IEStatus_NoMatch

warnings. It means that you sppecified the wrong field names, or you selected the wrong form (you selected the first form on the page, form 0).

You did not say whether you used DebugBar... I strongly recommend it.
