Problem submitting javascript form/button in webpage

[GoogleDude]

I am having a problem getting anything to click the "Continue" button on this form. It apears its a java script button/form. From reading in the help its best to use _IEAction("Click") but cant get that to work either. If I use _IEFormSubmit it will submit the form but the form gives an error as if it didnt get the data I plugged into it. but if I physically click the "Continue" button after my script types in the values it works fine. So I kinda think its a problem with the way the button it being pressed or the form is being submitted. 1082 is the index id that IEBuilder shows the button as having.

I am using IEBuilder to look under the hood of the webpage.

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/US/HelpDesk/CreateTrial.aspx")

_IELinkClickByIndex ($oIE, 1082)
_IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "Continue")
$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "Button")
_IEAction ($oSubmit, "click")

Many thanks,

GD

Hi GoogleDude !

$_innertext = _IEPropertyGet ( $oSubmit, "innertext" ) ; Complete Registration
ConsoleWrite ( '$_innertext : ' & $_innertext & @CRLF )
$_outerhtml = _IEPropertyGet ( $oSubmit, "outerhtml" ) ; <BUTTON id=Button1 onclick=validateTrial_Helpdesk_EN(); tabIndex=18 name=Button1>Complete Registration</BUTTON>
ConsoleWrite ( '$_outerhtml : ' & $_outerhtml & @CRLF )
_IEAction ( $oSubmit, "click" )

; another way
_IELoadWait ( $oIE )
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ( $oIE, "createtrial" )
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ( $oForm, "Button1" )

Hi thanks for tacking a stab at it. Im not sure how to get the button to click scriptomaticly. Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks again for the help,

[GoogleDude]

I have been playing with using the Send() to tab until I get to the Continue button but it isnt consistent to the number of tabs.

~GD

[wakillon]

try to see if with _IEPropertyGet function it can be possible to get coordinates of button and use mouseclick on...

[seandisanti]

it may be an image, with an "onclick" event set. i have done a lot of automations where that is the case, check out _IEImgClick

[wakillon]

No Image match to the button

So _IEImgClick...

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ( "https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/US/HelpDesk/CreateTrial.aspx" )
$oImgs = _IEImgGetCollection ( $oIE )
$iNumImg = @extended
ConsoleWrite ( "+>--- There are " & $iNumImg & " images on the page" & @Crlf )
Global $_I = 0, $_BGReturn=0, $_ImagesDirPath = @DesktopDir & '\Images on the page'
DirCreate ( $_ImagesDirPath )

For $oImg In $oImgs
    $_I = $_I +1
    $sInfo = " Src : " & $oImg.src & @CR
    $sInfo &= "->--- FileName: " & $oImg.nameProp & @CR
    $sInfo &= "->--- Height: " & $oImg.height & @CR
    $sInfo &= "->--- Width: " & $oImg.width & @CR
    $sInfo &= "->--- Border: " & $oImg.border
    ConsoleWrite ( @Crlf & "!>--- Image " & $_I & $sInfo & @Crlf )
    InetGet ( $oImg.src, $_ImagesDirPath & '\' & _GetFullNameByUrl ( $oImg.src ), $_BGReturn )
Next
_IEQuit ( $oIE )
ShellExecute ( $_ImagesDirPath )
Exit

Func _GetFullNameByUrl ( $_FileUrl )
    $_FileName = StringSplit ( $_FileUrl, '/' )
    If Not @error Then 
        Return $_FileName[$_FileName[0]]
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
EndFunc ;==> _GetFullNameByUrl ( )

Try to see if the function validateTrial_Helpdesk_EN() can help you...

I have tried this

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ( )
_IENavigate ( $oIE, "https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/US/HelpDesk/CreateTrial.aspx" )
_IELoadWait ( $oIE )
Sleep ( 1000 )
_IELinkClickByIndex ( $oIE, 346 )

346 ==> View our privacy policy

347 ==> Log In to proceed. at bottom of the page.

So Continue Button is not a link...

There are more javascript functions you'd need to investigate that are called from that function, but furst I'd suggest trying the following sequence:

$oSubmit.fireEvent("onmousedown")

$oSubmit.fireEvent("onmouseup")

_IEAction ($oSubmit, "click")

No errors, but nothing happens ! this button is strange !

I try to see if with _IEPropertyGet function it can be possible to get coordinates of button and use mouseclick on...

but i get number bigger than my screen size, so...

Or another idea ?

Edited September 7, 2010 by wakillon

[GoogleDude]

Well I was kinda able to get it to work sonsistantly by using SEND() with a bunch of TABBing to to jump to each object. Its not Ideal but working I guess. The strange thing is on the second page of that same form the _IEFormSubmit() is working but not on the First Page. On the first page of the form when it submits the form it does not pass the data along with it unless the Continue button it physically pressed.

Thanks,

~GD

See the "Automate input type=file" link in my sig for a code sample.

Dale

[DaleHohm]

You want to click the Continue button? it does not have an id of Button1... you'll need to find another way to select it. Perhaps:

$oButton = _IETagnameGetCollection($oIE, "button", 1) ; it is the second button tag on the page.

Thanks Dale !

And sorry for the post on the wrong thread

I'm lost with all this reseach , all this tests inconclusive and I don't know what to do to with this damned button !

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate ( )
_IENavigate ( $oIE, "https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/US/HelpDesk/CreateTrial.aspx" )
_IELoadWait ( $oIE )
$oT = _IEGetObjById ( $oIE, 'Button1' )
$oscreenx = _IEPropertyGet ( $oT, "screenx" )
$owidth = _IEPropertyGet ( $oT, "width")
$oscreeny = _IEPropertyGet ( $oT, "screeny" )
$oheight = _IEPropertyGet ( $oT, "height" )/2
ConsoleWrite ( $oscreenx & " + " & $owidth & ' -10, ' & $oscreeny & " + " & $oheight & @Crlf )
MouseClick ( "left", $oscreenx + $owidth - 10, $oscreeny + $oheight, 1 )

I already try like this and each time width and height return zero

and the y Coordinates is bigger than my screen size !

I thinked this was Button1 because i have found :

; <TD class="gray full" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" colSpan=2><SPAN class="button blue"><SPAN class=left></SPAN><SPAN class=middle><BUTTON onclick="if(validateTrial_Helpdesk_Page1_EN()) switch_pages(document.getElementById('firstpage'), document.getElementById('secondpage'))" tabIndex=8>&nbsp;Continue&nbsp;</BUTTON></SPAN><SPAN class=right> </SPAN></SPAN></TD>

; <TD class="gray fields"><SPAN class="button blue"><SPAN class=left></SPAN><SPAN class=middle><BUTTON id=Button1 onclick=validateTrial_Helpdesk_EN(); tabIndex=18 name=Button1>Complete Registration</BUTTON></SPAN><SPAN class=right> </SPAN>

And Debugbar does'nt show another button's name...

Usually i get there but this one is hard !

So I'll try _IETagnameGetCollection

Thanks again !

Hey ! GoogleDude, It works !

Thanks Dale ! You're the best !

$oIE = _IECreate ( )
_IENavigate ( $oIE, "https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/US/HelpDesk/CreateTrial.aspx" )
;_IELoadWait ( $oIE )
$oButton = _IETagnameGetCollection ( $oIE, "button", 1 ) ; it is the second button tag on the page.
_IEAction ( $oButton, "click" )

And one tablet of aspirin for my head...

[DaleHohm]

Just a note... _IENavigate calls _IELoadWait automatically unless you disable it, so no need for the extra call

Dale

[GoogleDude]

Thanks guys. I'm at work now but will check this out later tonight when I get back to the hotel.

~GD

[GoogleDude]

OK I finally made it back to the hotel.

I know its been a while but im back @ this script again and still am unable to get the form to submit on page 2. The only way I was able to get the form to submit on page 1 was to TAB all the way to it. which is kinda a messy way of doing it. But the TABing on page 2 seams to be dynamic or something. below is a mock up of what im using. I have tried several diff. things so there are a few things commented out but the below sample should get to to page 2 of the form and not actualy submit it.

Can anyone get it to submit?

As you note, there is a lot of Javascript behind that form, including a large field validation routine. Something in it is preventing the form submission (some condition not being met.

Another thing you can try is simply to override the validation script or replace it with your own.

For example:

IEHeadInsertScript($oIE, "function validateTrial_Helpdesk_EN() { return true; }")

Func IEHeadInsertScript($o_object, $s_script)
    Local $o_head, $o_element
    $o_head = _IETagNameGetCollection($o_object, "head", 0)
    $o_element = $o_object.document.createElement('script')
    $o_element.type = 'text/javascript'
    $o_element.text = $s_script
    $o_head.appendChild($o_element)
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>IEHeadInsertScript

Tested with your form and it still isn't the answer, but it gives you another tool to try.
