DHTML question

[Bert]

I have a form that has various text fields, pick list, and so forth. I'm using this script to test with:

Func _readFA_page()
    $Read = GUICtrlRead($Input1)
    $oIE =  _IECreate("http://www.tfaforms.com/"&$Read)
    $oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)
    For $oform In $oforms
        ConsoleWrite($oform.name & @CRLF);
        $oeles = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oform)
        For $oele In $oeles
            ConsoleWrite( 'ID: ' & $oele.name & @CRLF _
            & '    Tag Type: ' & $oele.tagName & @CRLF _
            & '    Tag style:  '& $oele.type & @CRLF _
            & '    Tag lable:  '& $oele.innerHTML & @CRLF _
            & @CRLF) ;Tried innerHTML, but that didn't work.
        Next
    Next
EndFunc

The problem I'm having is I need to get the displayed label. For example I have this control in a page as shown in the HTML code below. The section I highlighted in red is what I need to get for what I'm building. What DHTML object do I call to get it?:

<div id="tfa_OnSiteContactNam-D" class="oneField">

<label class="preField" for="tfa_OnSiteContactNam">On Site Contact Name</label>

<input type="text" id="tfa_OnSiteContactNam" name="tfa_OnSiteContactNam" value="" size="40" class="">

<br><span class="errMsg" id="tfa_OnSiteContactNam-E"> </span>

</div>

I tried "label", and "id" but they didn't work. "Label" crashed the script, and "id" returned the same as "name"

Here is the output when I tested it on this field and I tried "id":

ID: tfa_OnSiteContactNam
    Tag Type: INPUT
    Tag style:  text
    Tag label:  tfa_OnSiteContactNam

I would do this:

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "tfa_OnSiteContactNam-D")
$oLabel = _IETagnameGetCollection($oDiv, "label", 0)
ConsoleWrite(_IEPropertyGet($oLabel, "innertext") & @CRLF)

Sweet! that will do the trick nicely! Thanks!

I'm still having a bit of trouble with this. I have a test script I have made with 2 similar forms. The only difference between the two forms is one has a section around the items.

<fieldset id="tfa_fieldset" class="wfSection">
<legend>fieldset</legend>

For some reason the section will break the script. The problem I'm having is I plan to use my script on many different forms. Some may have a field group, others won't. Any idea how to fix it?

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE =  _IECreate("http://www.tfaforms.com/179750") ;has section
;$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.tfaforms.com/179754") ;does not have section
_IELoadWait ($oIE)
_IEErrorNotify (False)
$sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML ($oIE)
MsgBox(0, "", $sHTML)
$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)
For $oform In $oforms
    ConsoleWrite($oform.name & @CRLF);
    $oeles = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oform)
    For $oele In $oeles
        $sr = string($oele.id)
        $S1 = StringInStr($sHTML, $sr)
        ConsoleWrite($s1 &@crlf)
        $s2 = Stringmid($sHTML, $S1, 40)
        ConsoleWrite($s2 &@crlf)
        $s3 = StringInStr($s2, "wfSection")
        ConsoleWrite($s3 &@crlf)
        if $s3 = 0 then 
        $sr = string($oele.name)&'-D'
        endif
        ;
        $oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE,$sr )
        IF @error = 0 THEN 
            $oLabel = _IETagnameGetCollection($oDiv, "label", 0)
            ConsoleWrite( 'ID: ' & $oele.name & @CRLF _
            & '    Tag Type: ' & $oele.tagName & @CRLF _
            & '    Tag Style:  '& $oele.type & @CRLF _
            & '    Tag Label:  '& _IEPropertyGet($oLabel, "innertext")& @CRLF & @CRLF)
        EndIf
    Next
Next

OK, I played with it a bit more this morning and added _IEErrorHandlerRegister. My script no longer crashes, but I'm not getting all the fields when I search for them. It is missing the checkbox fields. I'm not sure on how to look for them. Any ideas?

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IEAttach ("Test form for autoit script")
if @error = 7 then $oIE =  _IECreate("http://www.tfaforms.com/179750") ;has section
_IEErrorHandlerRegister ("MyErrFunc")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)
$sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML ($oIE)
ConsoleWrite( $sHTML&@CRLF&@CRLF&@CRLF) ;post the HTML to the console for review
$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)
For $oform In $oforms
    ConsoleWrite($oform.name & @CRLF);
    $oeles = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oform)
    For $oele In $oeles
        $sr = string($oele.name)&'-D'
        $oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE,$sr )
        IF @error = 0 THEN 
            $oLabel = _IETagnameGetCollection($oDiv, "label", 0)
            ConsoleWrite( 'ID: ' & $oele.name & @CRLF _
            & '    Tag Type: ' & $oele.tagName & @CRLF _
            & '    Tag Style:  '& $oele.type & @CRLF _
            & '    Tag Label:  '& _IEPropertyGet($oLabel, "innertext")& @CRLF & @CRLF)
