How to use _FFSetValue to fill an html form

[tommytx]

Am I doing something wrong here.. does not seem to work... none of them had and id so can't use that.

My html
<input name="first_name" value="" required="">
<input name="last_name" value="" required="">
<input name="email" value="" required="" type="email">

<textarea rows="7" cols="10" name="message" id="message" class="autosave"

end html

_FFSetValue("Tommy","first_name")
_FFSetValue("Chandler","last_name")
_FFSetValue("joe@boe.com","email")

_FFSetValue("Now is the time for all good men.", "message")

Have you tried with the optional $sMode parameter set to "name"?

_FFSetValue("Tommy","first_name","name")

Thanks for the assist...

Does not fill it in but gives this at the end..

__FFSend ==> Socket Error
_FFCmd ==> Error return value
_FFSetValue ==> No match: $sElement: .getElementsByName('first_name')[0]
>Exit code: 0    Time: 4.178

its all inside a form but the form has no id... if i need to id the form I suppose i  could give it a number since its the only form on the page

has no id and no name for the form...

This is a function I use in one of my scripts. Perhaps you will find it useful:

Func UpdateWebForm($cField, $cValue)
    ; Remove non-alphanumeric characters such as quotation marks
    $cValue = StringRegExpReplace($cValue, "[^\w\d\s]", "")

    _FFXPath("//form//input[@name='" & $cField & "']")
    _FFCmd("FFau3.xpath.value='" & $cValue & "'")
EndFunc

Danp2   thank you so much I have no idea what I just did but i found this

_FFSetValue("1", "amount", "name",0)

_FFSetValue("1", "amount", "name",1)

_FFSetValue("1", "amount", "name",2)

_FFSetValue("1", "amount", "name",3)

at this site http://www.autoit.de/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=24003
 

so having no idea what I am doing... I took your solution

_FFSetValue("Tommy","first_name","name")

and added the 0 at the end... and walla it works fine..

_FFSetValue("Tommy","first_name","name", 0)

so thanks again.. you set me on the right road...

 

can you explain what happened there.. maybe it will help me in the future.

Ok... sorrry.. forgive me for trying to screw everybody's mind up... the 0 had nothing to do with it... your solution as written worked perfect.. thanks again...

Open FF.au3 and examine the definition of _FFSetValue. The 4th parameter ($iIndex) is optional and defaults to zero if you don't provide one.
