filing a form that has no name

[ArturAker 0]

Hi, Im trynig to fill a user name and pass to a form by using the tamplet below:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.someaddress.com")

; get pointers to the login form and username, password and signin fields

$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1")

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

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

$o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "SI")

$username = "your username here"

$password = "your password here"

; Set field values and submit the form

_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)

_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)

_IEAction ($o_signin, "click")

______________________________________________________________________________________________

the problem is that the form has no name value, how can I bypass that issue???

You can enumerate the forms using _IEFormGetCollection(). You just need to figure out which is the index number for the correct form. There are examples in the help file how to use it.

Hello ArturAker,

If you can't find your object attached to a form, check to see if the login section is in a frame. I have encountered a couple websites that have created the login section on a seperate page, and frame it to the index or the page in question. If this is the case, all you have to do is navigate to the actual framed document's address, and then you will be able to get the form name and automate it as you need.

If forms have no names, try to identify it by index, action or method

and formelements by index, type or id.

example

#include <IE.au3>

$Url='http://www.youtube.com/music'
$oIE = _IECreate ( $Url, 0, 0, 1 )
$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ( $oIE )
For $oForm In $oForms
    ConsoleWrite ( "->--- Form name : " & $oForm.name & " Form method : " & $oForm.method & " Form action : " & $oForm.action & @CRLF ) 
    $index = 0
    $oFormElements = _IEFormElementGetCollection ( $oForm )
    For $oFormElement In $oFormElements
        ConsoleWrite ( "+>---             FormElement Index : " & $index & " FormElement Name : " & $oFormElement.name & " FormElement Type : " & $oFormElement.type & " FormElement Id : " & $oFormElement.Id & @CRLF )
        $index += 1
    Next
Next

_IEQuit ( $oIE )
