Another webpage autofill issue

[puttwill]

I'm sorry for posting about yet another web page with auto fill issues. I've made autoit's for a few webpages and thought i had it down, but this one is causing me lots of issues. I've been working on this on and off for a few weeks and can't seem to solve it. If any one could help that would be great. My main issue is there is no form name. I'm quite sure i need to use $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0) but it keeps returning $_IESTATUS_NoMatch. I've tried 0-10 but no match. It's the 1st element i'm trying so it should be 0. There are no frames. All the posts i've seen on this all say to check for frames and then stops there. No frames on this one. Here is the code. I've taken on large chunks of options on the drop down list on element 2 and 3 to save space.....

<div id="insideHeader" class="bottomHeader clearfix">
             <div id="ticketStatusWrapper" class="alignLeft" style="margin-top: 5px;">
                        <div class="ie-inline">
                            <span class="label10px" style="margin-left: 15px;">Ticket Number</span>
                            <input type="text" class="ie-inline width175px input10px alignCenter" id="headerT" placeholder="Ticket Number" maxlength="15">
                            <!--[if IE 8]><div id="headerCountrySelect" class="ie-inline"><![endif]-->
                            <span id="headerCountryLabel" class="label10px" style="margin-left: 8px;">Country</span>
                            <select id="headerTicketCountry" class="ie-inline width175px select10px">
                                <option value="">Select Country</option>
                                <option value="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</option>
                            ****DELETED A BUNCH***
                                <option value="Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</option>
                            </select>
                            <!--[if IE 8]></div><![endif]-->
                            <!--[if IE 8]><div id="headerStateSelect" class="ie-inline"><![endif]-->
                            <span id="headerStateLabel" class="label10px" style="margin-left: 8px;">State</span>
                            <select id="headerTicketState" class="ie-inline width175px select10px">
                                <option value="" selected>Select State</option>
                                <option value="AL" prefix="WAL">Alabama</option>
                            ****DELETED A BUNCH***
                                <option value="WY" prefix="null">Wyoming</option>
                            </select>
                            <!--[if IE 8]></div><![endif]-->
                            <button type="submit" id="headerViewStatus" class="ie-inline btn btn-sm btn-blue ie7-btn" ticketElem="headerT" countryElem="headerTicketCountry" stateElem="headerTicketState" style="margin-left: 10px;">
                                View Status
                            </button>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>

Thanks.

Please, post your AutoIt code as well. So, that we may help with that script.

[Danp2]

There isn't a form in the posted HTML.

[puttwill]

Mikahs, as I haven't gotten pasted the $_IESTATUS_NoMatch I have almost no code written. So far I just have...

#include <ie.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("https://expressticketing.acss.att.com/expressticketing/"
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)

If i get passed the mismatch I was going to try....

$oQuery1 = _IEGetObjById ($oForm, "headerT")
_IEAction($oQuery1, "focus")
Send("TM072247")

Danp2, It's the only thing I can find when inspecting the elements that deals with the form I'm trying to auto fill. If you want view the original page its...

[MikahS]

You'll most likely need to account for each area you want to interact with, since there is not a form in the HTML.

I would use _IETagNameGetCollection to get all the "headerT" elements. Then loop through these, and enter your information.

[Danp2]

There's no form on that page, which explains why _IEFormGetCollection is returning $_IESTATUS_NoMatch.

Do NOT use Send! You should be able to interact with the input fields using _IEGetObjById and _IEFormElementSetValue. You can access the button using _IEGetObjById and then use _IEAction to perform the click.

[puttwill]

Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction for this. I got the 1st input box sorted out. The below code is how I got it to work. The next step is to set the state before click view status(btw Mikahs you don't need an account to view the status). When I stepped through all of the ID's with _IETagNameGetCollection, "headerT showed up, but the state ID "headerTicketState" did not show up. Any thoughts on how I can get the state ID to show up now? 

 

#include <ie.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate ("https://expressticketing.acss.att.com/expressticketing/")
$hWnd = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")

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

For $oButtons In $oButtons
    If $oButtons.ID = "headerT" Then
       _IEAction($oButtons, "focus")
       ControlSend($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "Ticket#")
Else
EndIf
Next

 

[Danp2]

Not sure why you are using hwnd, ControlSend, and looping through a collection.

Do NOT use Send! You should be able to interact with the input fields using _IEGetObjById and _IEFormElementSetValue. You can access the button using _IEGetObjById and then use _IEAction to perform the click.

​Here's how I would do it using this earlier hint:

#include <ie.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate ("https://expressticketing.acss.att.com/expressticketing/")

Local $input = _IEGetObjById($oIE,  "headerT")
_IEAction($input, "focus")
_IEFormElementSetValue($input, "123456")

Local $select = _IEGetObjById($oIE,  "headerTicketState")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($select, "FL")

Local $button = _IEGetObjById($oIE,  "headerViewStatus")
_IEAction($button, "click")

 

[puttwill]

Wow. That's ridiculously easier. I tired figuring out what to do with _IEGetObjById but failed horribly. Looks so simple seeing an example. Works perfect for headerT but like my other code, totally fails for headerTicketState and headerViewStatus

[Danp2]

I'm confused by your last post. Are you saying that the last script I posted isn't working for you?

If so, please run it in Scite and then post the Output window results here.

[puttwill]

The script DOES put the ticket number in the "headerT" box. The script does NOT change the state in "headerTicketState" and does NOT click the View Status button IDed as headerViewStatus.

Please forgive my newbieness in regards to your request to run in "Scite." I'm thinking you mean run it in the editor that comes with AutoIt where the window says "Scite-Lite" at the top and has an output window at the bottom. Here is the output of that window with your script....

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "U:\autoit scripts\escalate ticket\express.au3"    
>Exit code: 0    Time: 22.34

There are no errors. It's like is just doesn't see "Local $select = _IEGetObjById($oIE,  "headerTicketState")". Thanks all your help. 

[Danp2]

Strange... it worked when I tested it here. Please tell us more about your environment (versions of OS, IE, AutoIt, etc).
P.S. You can download the full SciTE package here.

[puttwill]

I am running IE 8 for various reasons. That could be why. 

[Danp2]

Understood... that's actually the version that I tested it on as well.

What version of Autoit? Running out of ideas here.
