Newb Question. New to Autoit and ...

[jamesjames]

I am trying to make my own script using my little knowledge of what I used to know in Visual Basic and reading / copying tutorials.

Basically, I need to put in some text to an element in a form but the form does not have a name. The form does not have a NAME assigned to it. Is there a different way to call to the form instead of using the form name? The only piece I see about the form name looks like this:

<form method="post" action="/index.php?nid=640" enctype="multipart/form-data" />

    <input type="hidden" name="nid" value="640" />
    <input type="hidden" name="sid" value="4516794" />
    <input type="hidden" name="fid" value="966750" />

    <div class="gBox">
        <img src="/resources/form/graphics/bTop.gif" border="0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 620px; height: 7px;" /><br />

        <div id="">
    <div class="gTitle"></div>
        <div id="" class="gBody">

                                <div class="element">
                            <div style="font-size: 12px; color: #911;">

Welcome to the forums!

If you're trying to automate Internet Explorer, I'd first and foremost go install DebugBar - your life will be a lot easier.

As for your question, you've got two options:

You could use _IEFormGetCollection to specify which form you want to reference (this way does leave potential for trouble if they add a form before the one you reference since you reference it by it's 0-based index on the page)

Or

Even though the Form doesn't have a name, just use _IEGetObjByName for the individual controls on the form (you don't have to reference the form first) then use the _IEFormElement* functions to modify them.
