IE automation questions

[Shrapnel]

I'm having issues using ie.au3 include. I cannot get autoit to fill in the username and password and then click submit

Website I'm trying to automate: https://test.lps-lqgateway.com/OrderSelection/InitialOrderSelection

Here is the code i have so far (pretty sure my syntax is wrong when using the _IEFormElementGetObjByName and _IEFormElementSetValue functions):

Let me know if more information is needed and thanks in advance for your help!

#include

$o_IE = _IECreate("https://test.lps-lqgateway.com/OrderSelection/InitialOrderSelection", 0, 1, 1, 1)
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_IE, "UserName")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_IE, "Password")
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_login, "fake-username", 0)
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_password, "fake-password", 0)

Exit

HTML elements from IE_Builder2.0.1:

Ok I have now realized that i was trying to use IEForm commands when that page doesn't even have forms.... >_<

How would i enter text and click the button on this page if there is no form?

Read the remarks in the helpfile for the function _IEFormElementGetObjByName

In addition to what it states there, you can use _IEGetObjByName

Thank you for your reply and your work with the IE UDF!

I can't believe i missed that.

anyways for others reference - this is the working code (minus valid login information)

#include IE.au3

$o_IE = _IECreate("https://test.lps-lqgateway.com/OrderSelection/InitialOrderSelection", 0, 1, 1, 1)
$o_login = _IEGetObjByName($o_IE, "UserName")
$o_password = _IEGetObjByName($o_IE, "Password")
$o_loginbtn = _IEGetObjById($o_IE, "LogOn_btnSubmit")

_IEFormElementSetValue($o_login, "fake-username", 0)
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_password, "fake-password", 0)

_IEAction($o_loginbtn, "click") ; click login button

Exit

I can't believe i missed that.

You know, neither can I, but you're not alone. Glad you got it working.

OK, now i ran into a new problem. Some of the text boxes i need to enter data into have a unique identifier added to the ID that changes every time you visit the site.

example:

ID of "OrderDataTitleAndClosing_Borrower_Party_txtFirstName" text box on 1st Visit :

4c5a786a-fa8b-4d82-b3d0-758068bb9181_OrderDataTitleAndClosing_Borrower_Party_txtFirstName_1

ID of "OrderDataTitleAndClosing_Borrower_Party_txtFirstName" text box on 2nd Visit:

7379915f-fa39-48fb-85fe-b738ff1f33f2_OrderDataTitleAndClosing_Borrower_Party_txtFirstName_1

Below is the code from the site. is there any way for me to reference the "originalid" when i use the _IEGetObjByID command?

<input class="Value_ControlL4 OrderDataTitleAndClosing_Borrower_Party_txtFirstName DuplicatedCheck" id="7379915f-fa39-48fb-85fe-b738ff1f33f2_OrderDataTitleAndClosing_Borrower_Party_txtFirstName_1" type="text" size="30" maxLength="30" autocomplete="off" required="required" originalid="OrderDataTitleAndClosing_Borrower_Party_txtFirstName" multiplepart="true" parentid="multic1389bb1-1322-4c78-833e-a4759b030930" multiplePartElem="true"/>

Probably a salt to hinder automation.

Probably a salt to hinder automation.

Either that or it is trying to prevent duplicates. there is an "originalid" in the input tag with the value of "OrderDataTitleAndClosing_Borrower_Party_txtFirstName", which is what i think would solve my problem...if i can pull that information instead of the "ID".

I am messing around with the _IETagNameGetCollection function now to try to solve this problem

[Shrapnel]

I finally figured it out. This might not be the best way to go about it, but it works!

$o_borrower1FirstName = _IEGetObjById($o_IE, getID("input", "originalid=""OrderDataTitleAndClosing_Borrower_Party_txtFirstName""", " id=""", 5, 91))

_IEAction($o_borrower1FirstName, "focus")
Send("Joe") ; Set Borrower 1 first name

Exit

Func getID($_tagName, $_originalID, $_startString, $_startPosition, $_endPosition)
Local $oElements = _IETagNameGetCollection($o_IE, $_tagName)
For $oElement In $oElements
Local $_outerhtml = $oElement.outerhtml
If StringInStr($_outerhtml, $_originalID) Then
Local $id = StringMid($_outerhtml, StringInStr($_outerhtml, $_startString) + $_startPosition, $_endPosition)
;MsgBox(0, "Debug getID function", $html & @CR & @CR & $id) ; DEBUG
Return $id
