_IEFormElementOptionSelect()

[mima1974]

Hello.

I use AutoIt 3.3.8.1 to create some Automated Test Cases for a Application.

After a long research I've still a problem with the _IEFormElementOptionselect() function with IE 9 (in Standard mode).

I will select in a ComboBox on value from that options:

<div style="width: 33%;" class="groupingtext">
  <div style="position: relative;" id="SalutationCombobox"><input aria-haspopup="true" style="cursor: pointer;" id="SalutationInput" class="ui-autocomplete-input ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all unselectable ui-state-highlight" role="textbox" tabIndex="-1" name="SalutationInput" readOnly="" value="" autocomplete="off" aria-autocomplete="list" unselectable="on"><button aria-disabled="false" class="ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-button-icon-only ui-corner-right ui-autocomplete-button" role="button" type="button"><span class="ui-button-icon-primary ui-icon ui-icon-triangle-1-s"></span><span class="ui-button-text">&nbsp;</span></button>
  <select style="width: 100%; display: none;" id="Salutation" class="ui-widget-content ui-corner-all" name="Salutation">
        <option></option>
        <option value="Frau">Frau</option>
        <option value="Herr">Herr</option>
       </select></div>
      </div>

with that AutoIt Code:

$oIE = _IECreate($oSiteLogonAddress)
$oForm = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "ctl01")
$oSalutation = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "Salutation")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oSalutation, "Herr", 1, "byValue")
$oIE.document.getElementById("CustomerSave").click

The Problem is that the value will not set in the Combobox because of that I get also an error by the Validation functions.

To Change to IE9 to the "Compatibility Mode" is not a solution for me because I have to test the application in Standard-Mode.

Also I had Check the AutoIt Bugtracker but there is no Entry about that Bug.

Try the examples for that function in the helpfile. If they work, you have an issue specific to your webpage and you'll need to dig further into it to see what makes it unique (some Javascript bound to the element, perhaps).

Hello Dale,

thank you for your Answer I will try it.

I've found the '_IEFormElementOptionselect.au3' Example in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\Helpfile\" directory.

Now (and Sorry) I'm searching for the 'form example' that is mentioned in the comment lines of the _IEFormElementOptionselect.au3 sample file!

; *******************************************************
; Example 1 - Open a browser with the form example, get reference to form, get reference
;    to select element, cycle 10 times selecting options byValue, byText and byIndex
;    Note: You will likely need to scroll down on the page to see the changes
; *******************************************************

Where is the form example placed?

OK - Now I Know it.

For Other people that have the same "Problem":

If you run the Example Script - the Browser will direct open with the 'Example form' generated by that line of code:

Local $oIE = _IE_Example("form")

Hello Dale,

I was run the example successful. Now I've google for "_IEFormElementOptionselect bound to the element" but get no further information's about what the problem can be.

Did you (or other persons) have any tips to find a solution for my problem?

Greetings

You missed the word "Javascript". You'll need to examine and learn about the source code of your HTML page... try a DOM Inspector (like DebugBar... see my sig). Or... you must post a reproducer.
