IE iFrame problem

[Quinn]

Hi there!

I am trying to access to forms inside the iFrame, but with no success so far. This is Javascript generated document. There are two iFrames with only id's, no names.

_IEFrameGetCollection with _IEPropertyGet returns zeroes and following error:

IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IEPropertyGet, $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType

Is it possible to access these forms with IE.au3?

Thanks,

Quinn

$oIE = _IE_Example ("siteaddress")
$oFrames = _IEFrameGetCollection ($oIE)
$iNumFrames = @extended
For $i = 0 to ($iNumFrames - 1)
    $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection ($oIE, $i)
    MsgBox(0, "Frame Number:", $i)
Next

You say that this doesnt work for you?

Post some of the source code of the page.

Also add _IEErrorHandlerRegister() to the top of your script and run it in SciTE to see all the output in the console.

You may see a lot of "Access Denied" if hitting an XSS (cross-site scripting) violation.

First, Welcolme to the Forum !

And could you give the url for tests by my side ?

This works, but ther are errors if I try to use forms inside the frame. Something like this:

Include\IE.au3 (713) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
If String($o_object.document.body.tagName) = "FRAMESET" Then
If String($o_object.document^ ERROR
->19:33:18 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1

Sorry, I must ask for permission before posting any code here, since this is copyrighted business software. It works in intranet only, so there is no public url.

Thanks,

You ignored PSaltyDS's suggestion... it is important!

Ok, here is the code:

#include <IE.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
Local $oIE = _IEAttach("Baza")
$oFrames = _IEFrameGetCollection ($oIE)
$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oFrames, 1)

and the output:

Quinn As Poe might have said:

You might be out of luck, but there are some things left to try. You can get the target URL of the frame and open it directly in its own instance of IE then work with it there.

Hello,

I am new to the forum, and I beg your pardon if an introduction is lacking.

I was working for the first time with IE.au3, and I was trying to fetch information from a sports betting website, regarding the odds of a particular game.

The site in question is http://www.betdaq.com/UI/?siteTab=exchange&currentPreferences=1, and according to the Element Inspector from Google Chrome, it has an iframe which contains a #document in it (I suppose it is a javascript document).

Nevertheless, I tried a code similar to the one at the beginning of this topic:

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

$betdaq = "http://www.betdaq.com/UI/?siteTab=exchange&currentPreferences=1"

$oIE = _IECreate ($betdaq)

$oFrames = _IEFrameGetCollection ($oIE)

$iNumFrames = @extended

For $i = 0 to ($iNumFrames - 1)

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection ($oIE, $i)

MsgBox(0, "Frame Number:", $i)

Next

But this gave me the following error when executing the _IEFrameGetCollection (which I could read in the Scite window):

>"C:Program FilesAutoIt3SciTE..autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopmanual update without registry.au3"

--> COM Error Encountered in manual update without registry.au3

----> $IEComErrorScriptline = 745

----> $IEComErrorNumberHex = 80020006

----> $IEComErrorNumber = -2147352570

----> $IEComErrorWinDescription = Unknown name.

----> $IEComErrorDescription =

----> $IEComErrorSource =

----> $IEComErrorHelpFile =

----> $IEComErrorHelpContext =

----> $IEComErrorLastDllError = 0

From my search, the only relevant topic with a similar issue was this. If this was tackled somewhere else, a reference to the solution would be appreciated. I am sorry if I breached the terms & conditions by asking something regarding a commercial site, but this info is pretty straighforward to get at several other bookies.

Thank you for your time,

Kind regards,

Pedro

I am afraid that we are not prepared to support something like this. I hope you understand and that we can help you with something else in the future.
