$oButton.Type not working as expected.

[bluefish]

Hello,

I'm trying to automate the login to my website, the code below will enter the username/password but login button does not appear to work, it looks like its pressed but nothing happens.

The html for the button is:

<input name="ctl00$MainContent$btnLogin" value="Login" id="ctl00_MainContent_btnLogin" class="button" type="submit">

Any ideas why it does not complete the login?

Thanks.

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>

$Url = 'https://www.XXXXX.XX'
$User = 'XXXXXXX'
$Pwd = 'XXXXXXX'

$test = _IEAutoLogin($Url, $User, $Pwd)

Func _IEAutoLogin($sUrl, $sUsername, $sPwd)
 ;funkey 09.09.09
 $oIE = _IECreate($sUrl)
 _IEErrorNotify(False)
 $oForms = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE)
 If @error Then
  Return SetError(1, _IEErrorHandlerDeRegister(), $oIE) ;'no forms --> no login'
 Else
  $Index = 0
  For $oForm In $oForms
   $oFormElements = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm)
   If IsObj($oFormElements) Then
    $IndexElement = 0
    For $oElement In $oFormElements
     If $oElement.Type = 'password' Then
      $oPwd = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, $oElement.Name)
      _IEFormElementSetValue($oPwd, $sPwd)
      For $i = $IndexElement - 1 To 0 Step -1
       $oUser = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, $i)
       If $oUser.Type = 'text' Then
        _IEFormElementSetValue($oUser, $sUsername)
        ExitLoop
       EndIf
      Next
      If $oForm.action <> "0" And Not StringInStr($oForm.action, '.php') Then  ;submit
       _IEFormSubmit($oForm, 0)
       _IELoadWait($oIE)
      Else  ;click
       For $i = $IndexElement + 1 To $IndexElement + 10 ;check the next 10 elements
        $oButton = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, $i)
        If $oButton.Type = 'submit' Then
         _IEAction($oButton, "click")
         ExitLoop
        EndIf
       Next
      EndIf
     EndIf
     $IndexElement += 1
    Next
   EndIf
   $Index += 1
  Next
 EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_IEAutoLogin

Instead of using _IEFormSubmit try using:

_IEAction

Instead of using _IEFormSubmit try using:

_IEAction

Still seems to be the same except the password remains in the box but no login, my code is now:

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>

$Url = 'https://www.XXXXXX.XXXX'
$User = 'XXXXX'
$Pwd = 'XXXXXX'

$test = _IEAutoLogin($Url, $User, $Pwd)

Func _IEAutoLogin($sUrl, $sUsername, $sPwd)
 ;funkey 09.09.09
 $oIE = _IECreate($sUrl)
 _IEErrorNotify(False)
 $oForms = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE)
 If @error Then
  Return SetError(1, _IEErrorHandlerDeRegister(), $oIE) ;'no forms --> no login'
 Else
  $Index = 0
  For $oForm In $oForms
   $oFormElements = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm)
   If IsObj($oFormElements) Then
    $IndexElement = 0
    For $oElement In $oFormElements
     If $oElement.Type = 'password' Then
      $oPwd = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, $oElement.Name)
      _IEFormElementSetValue($oPwd, $sPwd)
      For $i = $IndexElement - 1 To 0 Step -1
       $oUser = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, $i)
       If $oUser.Type = 'text' Then
        _IEFormElementSetValue($oUser, $sUsername)
        ExitLoop
       EndIf
      Next
      If $oForm.action <> "0" And Not StringInStr($oForm.action, '.php') Then  ;submit
       _IEAction($oForm, 0)
       _IELoadWait($oIE)
      Else  ;click
       For $i = $IndexElement + 1 To $IndexElement + 10 ;check the next 10 elements
        $oButton = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, $i)
        If $oButton.Type = 'submit' Then
         _IEAction($oButton, "click")
         ExitLoop
        EndIf
       Next
      EndIf
     EndIf
     $IndexElement += 1
    Next
   EndIf
   $Index += 1
  Next
 EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_IEAutoLogin

Have a look at jdelaney's >IEbyXPATH UDF and see if that could potentially get everything straightened out for you.

[JohnOne]

Not certain that _IEAction($oForm, 0) is valid.

[MikahS]

JohnOne is correct, it should be _IEAction($oForm, "click").

Something that caught my attention... You have

_IEAction($oForm, 0)

What is the "0" for exactly?

 

Also... you aren't providing anything for us to to test (url wise).  This just leads to long threads filled with guesses that could be solved in 1 or 2 posts normally.  I know I know, it's super top secret spy stuff, I get it... So my guess for the thread: indexes start at zero, you have: $IndexElement + 1 (can never be zero).  More than that there's no error checking or consolewrites to see what values you're actually getting.  Doesn't the submit button have an id/class/name etc?

[bluefish]

Thanks for the help so far, I changed the

_IEAction($oForm, 0)

to be:

_IEAction($oForm, "click")

but its no different.

It's not super spy stuff the URL is https://www.westgateleisure.chichester.gov.uk/Connect2/mrmlogin.aspx

The submit button is <input name="ctl00$MainContent$btnLogin" value="Login" id="ctl00_MainContent_btnLogin" class="button" type="submit">

The ultimate aim is to:

1. Login to the site with my username / pass

2. Click a booking URL

3. Click 3 buttons, one after the other

Thanks.
