#include <IE.au3>


$oIE = _IECreate("https://www.dropbox.com/login?lhs_type=anywhere")




$username= _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "login_email")
$password=_IEFormGetObjByName($oIE,"login_password")
$submit=_IEFormGetObjByName($oIE,"login_submit_dummy")



_IEFormElementSetValue($username, "username")

You need to add some error checking to your code. Every _IE* function sets @error to a non zero value to describe the type of error.

The help file is your friend too

[tiger858]

i have been reading the help file and i can't even seem to get that copy paste script to work haha

#include <IE.au3>

 

Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com")

Local $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f")

Local $oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "q")

_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery, "AutoIt IE.au3")

_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

 

straight from the help file but does not work

Add some error checking:

Global $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com")
ConsoleWrite("_IECreate: " & @error & @LF)
Global $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormGetObjByName: " & @error & @LF)
Global $oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "q")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormElementGetObjByName: " & @error & @LF)
_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery, "AutoIt IE.au3")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormElementSetValue: " & @error & @LF)
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormSubmit: " & @error)

BTW:

Please enclose AutoIt code in code tags. The editor has a blue Autoit icon for that.

Add some error checking:

Global $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com")
ConsoleWrite("_IECreate: " & @error)
Global $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormGetObjByName: " & @error)
Global $oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "q")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormElementGetObjByName: " & @error)
_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery, "AutoIt IE.au3")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormElementSetValue: " & @error)
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormSubmit: " & @error)

I used your script and it ran but still just opened the ie page to google and did nothing , how do i check errors ?

sorry for all the newbie questions don't mean to be annoying , thank you for trying to help

The

ConsoleWrite("xxx: " & @error)

statements that return values <> 0 denote an error.

[tiger858]

it does not look like it returns anything ? 

[water]

if I press F5 in SciTE to run the script I get:

>Running:(3.3.8.1):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "C:\Temp\Test.au3"

[tiger858]

it just runs the script , maybe because i'm in windows 8 ?

also did you put #include <IE.au3> in ? 

Edited October 1, 2013 by tiger858

[water]

No.

If you press F5 in SciTE you always get this output in the error pane in the lower part of the screen.

[tiger858]

oh was not looking at that part sorry  

so where do i go from here ? 

[water]

also did you put #include <IE.au3> in ? 

Sure. Doesn't work without this statement.

[water]

The example script works fine as soon as you replace

Global $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f")

with

Global $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "gbqf")

[water]

Which error messages do you get from your original script?

[tiger858]

oh so the script must of been old and google updated ? okay i think i'm getting my head wrapped around this a little more now , sorry for being so annoying. what would be the easiest way to find the $oForm of a page ?

[water]

Search the sourcecode for "<form".

[tiger858]

include <IE.au3>

 

 

$oIE = _IECreate("https://www.dropbox.com/login?lhs_type=anywhere")
ConsoleWrite("_IECreate: " & @error & @LF)
 

 

 

 
$o_Form=_IEFormGetObjByName($oIE,"t")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormGetObjByName: " & @error & @LF)
$o_username= _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_Form, "login_email")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormElementGetObjByName: " & @error & @LF)
$o_password=_IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_Form,"login_password")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormElementGetObjByName: " & @error & @LF)




 

 

_IEFormElementSetValue($o_username, "username")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormElementSetValue: " & @error & @LF)
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_password, "password")
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormElementSetValue: " & @error & @LF)
_IEFormSubmit ($o_form)
ConsoleWrite("_IEFormSubmit: " & @error)

i updated original , still doe not work 

but error is 

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\Users\Dan\Desktop\ssssssssssssssssssss.au3"
_IECreate: 0--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEFormGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

Looks like "t" is not the name of the login form.

[tiger858]

<form action="/login" novalidate="novalidate" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="t" value="vgY1oWb3gPVzLr_Xb5dxKdRS" /><input type="hidden" name="lhs_type" value="default" /><div class="alternative-option">(or <a id="register-link">create an account</a>)</div><div class="title-text">Sign in</div><div id="login-partial">
