gander Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) I do data entry for pharmaceutical research and have been assigned to enter 100 identical subjects into an online database for a mock study. The electronic data capture system we use is InForm by Oracle. Naturally, and to keep my sanity, I want to automate this task. There is no built-in way to copy and paste subjects, so I have to create a script. This is actually the second time I'm entering this many identical subjects. The first time, I created a crude script in AutoHotkey that emulated keystrokes and mouse clicks to fill out boxes, radio buttons, etc. This time, I'd like to write a more sophisticated script through AutoIt.Unfortunately, the way the forms are coded don't seem compatible with AutoIt's IE functions. I'd post a picture of how it appears in the browser, but I don't have access to image hosting on this computer and can't seem to attach it directly here. Here's a sample of some form code:<!--crf--><div id=crf class=formbody style=overflow:auto> <SCRIPT> oL=top.C.location;dcm=this.document; oF=t.GetForms(d,'crf'); w=window;t.wndCur=w; oForm=new t.FS(w) t.oLastDate=t.oDateErr=null P1="8833;0;8829" o1=t.b('18837',1,2,0) o2=t.b('',8,1,0,o1) o3=t.a('18839',7,3,1,'"O","DMY","R","DMY","U","0","C","1","T","0"',o1) P2="8833;0;8819" o4=t.b('18840',0,2,0) o5=t.a('18841',5,1,0,'"N","1"',o4) o6=t.a('18842',5,1,1,'"N","1"',o4) P3="8833;0;8806" o7=t.a('18843',5,1,0,'"N","1"') P4="8833;0;8797" o8=t.a('18844',5,1,0,'"F","1","P","1"') t.ASU(o8,'18844',2) P5="8833;0;8783" o9=t.a('18845',5,1,0,'"F","1","P","1"') t.ASU(o9,'18845',2) function BTN(t,p,a,q){u="./pfts.dll?C=TM_1&SI=40073&NM=0&EQ="+t+"&CT=1&FS=12342;0;1.000&IP="+oF[0].IPA.value+';'+p+(a==1?"&ID=1":"") if(q>=0)u+=q>0?"&QID="+q:"&QID=0" oL.href=u} t.FH3(d,'pf8835','','')</SCRIPT> <SCRIPT>t.HD(d,["IPA","SubmitID","!ut!18843","CSRFID"],["40407_0;12342_0!1.000;8835_356250311619067.000!1.000","1","8801","B436FE50705DB997FC2310C599D6F18D"]);t.MF(d,0);t.G4(d);t.I4(d,1,'1.',1);t.I3(d,50);t.O(d,'Date of Measurement');t.I5(d,50,0,'','1.');top.T(d);top.T2(d);t.V4(d,'18837','SAME','o1',0,0);t.O(d,'Same as the current Date of Visit');t.E6(d);top.T2(d);t.V4(d,'18837','DIFF','o1',0,1);t.BDT(d,"Different from the current Date of Visit, please provide",4,"18839","o3","DMY","",2011,2020,[-1,-1,-1],[],0,"/",0);t.E6(d);t.O(d,'</TABLE>');t.I6(d,1);t.BA(w,133,P1,'o1',0,0,'',0);t.O(d,'</TD></TR><TR>');t.I4(d,1,'2.',1);t.I3(d,50);t.O(d,'Blood Pressure');t.I5(d,50,0,'','2.');t.GCT(d,'Systolic / Diastolic');t.TBL2(d,2,2);t.TD2(d);t.TX(d,"18841",3,3,"","o5",3,'/',0,'');t.E14(d);t.TX(d,"18842",3,3,"","o6",3,'mmHg',0,'');t.E2(d);t.I6(d,1);t.BA(w,133,P2,'o4',0,0,'',0);t.O(d,'</TD></TR><TR>');t.I4(d,1,'3.',1);t.I3(d,50);t.O(d,'Pulse Rate');t.I5(d,50,0,'','3.');t.TX(d,"18843",3,3,"","o7",3,'',0,'<nobr> BEATS/MIN</nobr>');t.I6(d,1);t.BA(w,133,P3,'o7',0,0,'',0);t.O(d,'</TD></TR><TR>');t.I4(d,1,'4.',1);t.I3(d,50);t.O(d,'Height');t.I5(d,50,0,'','4.');t.TX(d,"18844",5,5,"","o8",4,'',1,'RU(dcm,"18844",-1,[8787,8792],["cm","IN"])');t.I6(d,1);t.BA(w,133,P4,'o8',0,0,'',0);t.O(d,'</TD></TR><TR>');t.I4(d,1,'5.',1);t.I3(d,50);t.O(d,'Weight');t.I5(d,50,0,'','5.');t.TX(d,"18845",5,5,"","o9",4,'',1,'RU(dcm,"18845",-1,[2974,8778],["kg","LB"])');t.I6(d,1);t.BA(w,133,P5,'o9',0,0,'',0);t.E12(d);t.T8(d)</SCRIPT><SCRIPT>t.E9(d);t.HF(d);</SCRIPT> </div>This doesn't look like a standard HTML form code, so I'd like to know what kind of code it is (CSS?) and whether I can still manipulate a browser to fill in and submit entries.Any help is greatly appreciated.

DicatoroftheUSA Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Javascript.CSS is just for setting styles, it's not used for interface.I don't mess with IE enouph to give you a better answer.
