Germblaster Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I am trying to create a script that has the ability to visit a YouTube video and post a comment on my behalf. I am able to get the script to write text in the comment box, but I can not get the script to click the post button. This is what I have so far. _IENavigate($mIE, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNb62NBYvGU") _IELoadWait($mIE) $oForm = _IEGetObjByName($mIE,"comment") _IEAction($oForm, "focus") _IEFormSubmit($oForm) $oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName($mIE,"add_comment") _IEFormElementSetValue($oForm,"Thanks") _IEAction($oSubmit,"click") Thank you for your time.

Germblaster Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi Melba23, This script is just a test for a single comment. I want to implement this into a larger project that I'm doing for school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Link to the stackoverflow thread the OP started, asking the same thing. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post.
