how to load an input based on reading the name of the input?

[tommytx]

Can someone help me out here.. what am i doing wrong.

$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")

For $oInput In $oInputs
   if $oInput.name = "q" then msgbox(0,"","Hello Dolly.")
   if $oInput.name = "q" then $oInput.value = "Goodbye Sally")
Next

The first command works.. pops up Hello Dolly... but next line fails.

I am scanning all input boxes on the page and if one has a name = 'p' then I want to dump the "Goodbye Sally into that input box..

Thanks..

SO sorry i am not smart enough to fill in all the blanks to be able to run that code, all I got was errors..

#include <IE.au3>
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
For $oInput In $oInputs
    if $oInput.name = "q" then msgbox(0,"","Hello Dolly.")
    if $oInput.name = "q" then $oInput.value = "Goodbye Sally")
        Next

2257 But then I would guess the issue is in the Q  "q"  if $oInput.name = "q" then $oInput.value = "Goodbye Sally")

if $oInput.name = "s" then $oInput.value = "Goodbye Sally")

Then that is just a uneducated guess..

"C:\AutoIt3\Code\00_xxxx\xxxxxx\CkPoints\gh.au3"(2,40) : warning: $oIE: possibly used before declaration.
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
"C:\AutoIt3\Code\00_xxxxx\xxxxxx\CkPoints\gh.au3"(5,60) : error: syntax error
    if $oInput.name = "q" then $oInput.value = "Goodbye Sally")
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
"C:\AutoIt3\Code\00_xxxxxx\xxxxxxxxx\CkPoints\gh.au3"(2,40) : error: $oIE: undeclared global variable.
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

1.  You have a parenthesis at the end of the string "Goodbye Sally") <-- That doesn't belong

2.  Are you sure the object has the "value" attribute associated with it?

also, have a look to the _IEFormElementSetValue() function

Thanks Smoke_N... I cannot believe I missed the ) at the end of the line.. sooo... obvious.. makes me feel like a dummy... but thanks again anyway..

And to the other commenters... much appreciated... for you assistance.

Meow,
Wow.. just noticed all the errors you got... that is weird.. my first part worked fine.. the message popup... only the second command failed the attempt to dump text in an input box named "p" so you might run it again.. mine works perfect now that Smok_N drew my attention the my dumb mistake of adding an extra ) on the end...  just curious why your test would be massive errors?  Thanks..

Tommytx - Because $oIE does not exist.
