Coding Newbie needs help with selecting from dropdown list

wazoo · September 4, 2010

Hey all,

Pretty new to coding and especially to AutoIt.

My application is pretty simple: I need to call up a web page with IE and select an option from the dropdown menu on the page. I've read through the examples and have created the following code to do it:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("https://my.ooma.com/calling")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "0")
$oSelect = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "call_forwarding_settings_set[mode]")
    _IEFormElementOptionselect ($oSelect, "cf", 1, "byValue")

Problem is, the value is not switching from the default value. Here is, what I think, the relevant part of the source from the webpage:

<tr>
        <td colspan="2">
            <input name="call_forwarding_settings_set[enabled]" type="hidden" value="0" /><input checked="checked" id="call_forwarding_settings_set_enabled" name="call_forwarding_settings_set[enabled]" type="checkbox" value="1" /> <label for="call_forwarding_settings_set_enabled">Enable call forwarding</label>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td style="padding-left: 10px;">
            <label class="right" for="call_forwarding_settings_set_mode">Forwarding mode</label>
        </td>
        <td>
            
            <select id="call_forwarding_settings_set_mode" name="call_forwarding_settings_set[mode]"><option value="no" selected="selected">Call forward on network outage</option>
<option value="cf">Call forward all</option>
<option value="mr">Multi-Ring</option></select>
        </td>
      </tr>

As you can probably tell by the code I've attempted to write, I'm trying to have the dropdown box select the option of "Call forward all". I've tried doing it with the ByText parameter substituting in "Call forward all" for the value of "cf" referenced in my code above.... but same result.

In addition, and I'm not sure if this is my problem, I could not find the name of the form in the source. So I ran the au3 script in the Examples directory which goes through a page and tells you how many forms there are and what their names are. When I ran it on the site I'm trying to manipulate, it told me one form with the name of "0". So that's what I put in the code.

Anyway... thanks for any help you all can give.

Yeah... that's because it is an area you can only access as a member. Here's the entire source page if it is useful:

<p>Your Ooma system can be setup to forward calls to any US phone number. You may select to:</p>
<ul class='bulletedlist'>
    <li><b>Call Forward on Internet Outage</b>: Forward calls only when your Ooma system is offline due to a local Internet outage.</li>
    <li><b>Call Forward All</b>: Forward all calls. Your home phones will not ring.</li>
    <li><b>Multi-Ring</b>: Incoming calls will ring your home phone AND be forwarded to the number configured. Answer the call on either phone.</li>
</ul>
<p>When answering forwarded calls, you'll be required to press "1" before accepting a call, unless you uncheck the "Require keypress..." option. Note: If you have Call Forward on Internet Outage selected, you will never hear a prompt before answering the call. A forwarded call that is not answered or accepted will roll into your Ooma voicemail.</p>
<p>For best results, we recommend configuring a voicemail pickup time of at least 24 seconds (default).  If you configure your voicemail pickup time to be less than 24 seconds, Ooma's voicemail may answer the call before you can answer the forwarded call.  To adjust your voicemail settings, go to <a href="/voicemail/">voicemail preference</a> page.</p>

It allways crash : --> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEFormGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ( $oIE, "0" ) is not good,

may be it's a security for the website to not give a name to the form ! Posted Image
