Login Program for GMAIL

[mjoshi]

Hi ,

I have written this small program to log in to GMAIL;

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oUser, $oPass, $oSubmit, $oInput

$oIE = _IECreate ("www.gmail.com")

_IELoadWait($oIE)

If WinExists("Gmail: Email from Google") Then

WinSetState("Gmail: Email from Google", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

;get the htm source

Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")

;loop through elements and get the names of the text fields for user and pass

For $oInput In $oInputs

If $oInput.type = "text" And $oInput.name = "Email" Then $oInput.value = "XXXXXXX"

If $oInput.type = "password" And $oInput.name = "Passwd" Then $oInput.value = "XXXXXXXX"

Sleep(1200)

If $oInput.type = "checkbox" And $oInput.name = "PersistentCookie" Then Send("{SPACE}")

Sleep(1200)

If $oInput.type = "submit" And $oInput.name = "signIn" Then _IEAction($oInput, "click")

Next

EndIf

Send("{ENTER}")

But Somehow, the checkbox is not getting ticked.

I tried various formations like :

If $oInput.type = "checkbox" And $oInput.name = "PersistentCookie" Then _IEAction($oInput, "click")

and

If $oInput.type = "checkbox" And $oInput.name = "PersistentCookie" Then $oInput.value = "yes"/"True"

But it is not working.

Can someone let me know, what I am missing?

Hey mjoshi

Please put your code into [ autoit ] tags, otherwise my eyes bleed

I honestly can't help you because i think coders should use Firefox anyway, and i'm excited of the FF.au3 library, so you could send javascript commands to the browser ! Maybe the IE functions of AutoIt have something like that too.

Hey mjoshi

Please put your code into [ autoit ] tags, otherwise my eyes bleed

#include <IE.au3>
Local $oUser, $oPass, $oSubmit, $oInput
$oIE = _IECreate ("www.gmail.com")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
If WinExists("Gmail: Email from Google") Then
  WinSetState("Gmail: Email from Google", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
  ;get the htm source
  Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
  ;loop through elements and get the names of the text fields for user and pass
  For $oInput In $oInputs
   If $oInput.type = "text" And $oInput.name = "Email" Then $oInput.value = "XXXXXX"
  
   If $oInput.type = "password" And $oInput.name = "Passwd" Then $oInput.value = "XXXXXXX"
    Sleep(1200)
   If $oInput.type = "checkbox" And $oInput.name = "PersistentCookie" Then Send("{SPACE}")
     Sleep(1200)
  
   If $oInput.type = "submit" And $oInput.name = "signIn" Then _IEAction($oInput, "click")
  
   Next
  EndIf
  Send("{ENTER}")

In the above code Checkbox is not getting ticked, and I feel Even the Submit button is not getting clicked as I have to send the

Send("{ENTER}") command at the end

i will give you a hint: check the order in which the inputs are found by checking the source. That will explain why the input box is not ticked i think (didn't test it). To check the checkbox i assume you need to use "enable" for IEAction function. check the help documentation.

Great! That was some great thinking, We seem to be now a step closer, yes the Checkbox was described above the submit button in the source. But sadly, even after changing the sequence(basically removing submit button code line), it still is not working.

So my code now looks like :

#include <IE.au3>
Local $oUser, $oPass, $oSubmit, $oInput
$oIE = _IECreate ("www.gmail.com")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
If WinExists("Gmail: Email from Google") Then
  WinSetState("Gmail: Email from Google", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
  ;get the htm source
  Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
  ;loop through elements and get the names of the text fields for user and pass
  For $oInput In $oInputs
   If $oInput.type = "text" And $oInput.name = "Email" Then $oInput.value = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
   
   If $oInput.type = "password" And $oInput.name = "Passwd" Then $oInput.value = "xxxxxxxxxxx"
    Sleep(1200)
   If $oInput.type = "checkbox" And $oInput.name = "PersistentCookie" Then _IEAction($oInput, "enable")
     Sleep(1200)
   Next
  EndIf
  Send("{ENTER}")

But the checkbox is still not ticked.

Okay I did some testing, I moved the line of Password field up, and the email field down, but the script was still working!

So we are now sure that the sequence of description in the source doesn't matter.
