The requested action with this object has failed error message in IE.au3

[yogendra 0]

Hi,

I am fairly new to Autoit. I am creating a simple login script for Gmail.

I am facing two problems:

1) When I run the script, two instances of IE8 open up, one remains blank, the other opens the gmail page.

2) After this the script closes itself & I get the error message:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (1111) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:

Local $o_col = $o_object.document.forms.item($s_Name)

Local $o_col = $o_object.document^ ERROR

Any idea where/what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

From help file

_IEFormGetObjByName ( ByRef $o_object, $s_name [, $i_index = 0] )

"gaia_loginform" in your $s_Name is the ID of form and not the name that is why you get that error

Why do you use

_IECreate("www.gmail.com", 0, 1, 0) ?

#include <IE.au3>
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection (_IECreate ("www.gmail.com"), 0)
_IEFormElementSetValue (_IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm, 14), "Username")
_IEFormElementSetValue (_IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm, 15), "Pass")

For "two instances of IE8 open up" i dont get that effect (i cant replicate that error)

The attachment that you posted works fine (by itself, anyway) for me. Although, it would work faster if you changed a few things:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("www.gmail.com")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "gaia_loginform")
$oUser = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "Email")
$oPasswd = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "Passwd")
$user = "username"
$passwd = "password"
_IEFormElementSetValue($oUser, $user)
_IEFormElementSetValue($oPasswd, $passwd)
