Cannot paste test into IE form

[yeeva]

hi all,

im having a hard time pasting a name into an IE form. i manage to paste text 'Maximo' into 1 of the textbox in IE form but not 'john' into another textbox on the same form. The textbox for 'john' has multiple IDs/name. if i were to use the bottom 3 codes on $oQuery marked as comment, i manage to paste 'john' on the textbox but i want to paste the text while the IE isnt the active window (i cant use send(), when IE is not the active window). please help, thanks...

$oQuery = _IEGetObjById($oForm, "ctl00_m_g_e4d6bb9e_0a3e_4b18_bfff_0bdb6a0f4c03_ctl00_ctl04_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_UserField_upLevelDiv")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery, "john") <<<<<< THIS IS NOT WORKING

;_IEAction($oQuery, "focus")
;_IEAction($oQuery, "selectall"
;Send("john")
$oQuery2nd = _IEGetObjById($oForm, "ctl00$m$g_e4d6bb9e_0a3e_4b18_bfff_0bdb6a0f4c03$ctl00$ctl04$ctl07$ctl00$ctl00$ctl04$ctl00$ctl01")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery2nd, "Maximo") <<<<< THIS WORKS FINE

try with name upLevelDiv instead ID

!Edit: note that your trying to put something into DIV instead into input so i dont know will it work (divs aren't input fields)

so target your thing correctly and then try to set its value
