Form data is not saved

[NirKlieman]

Hi all,

I'me pretty new on AutoIT world so forgive if the following question was answered before.

 

I want my AIT script to update a text-field on a specific html page of web-site:

therfore I login the site and when I enter the relevant section, I update the field by the following code:

 

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 1)

$emailElement = _IEGetObjByName($oFrame, "default_cli")

_IEFormElementSetValue($emailElement, "myDefault CLI")

 

No error is returned, and I actually see that the relevant textbox is updated. But when I submit the page, the data is not saved - when I enter the page again I see that the data was not modified.

I'me using IE10 and when I try to use the 'Console mode' (F12) I see that the old data is sent with the submit.

 

The same behvaior happend with all sort of input (select etc).

 

Please help me,

Thanks

There isn't enough info here to be able to help you.
What do you normally need to do after typing the new value in the field? Press a button on the form to save?

Yes, I have submit button on which I press to save the form.

 

I think the key for the problem is somthing the IE - When I opened the console mode of the IE, I see that none of the new values is sent via the confirm button.

i think that you can risolve with this:

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 1)
$emailElement = _IEGetObjByName($oFrame, "default_cli")
_IEAction($emailElement, 'focus')
Sleep(500)
_IEPropertySet ( $emailElement, "innertext", "myDefault CLI")

god bless you!

Thanks all.

 

The same behavior repeats when I used  danyhack  code.

 

Any more suggestions?

Does anyone saw similiar bahvior on IE 10 ?

The same behavior repeats when I used  danyhack  code.

​Do I want to know what that means?

Probably referring to this.

[NirKlieman]

Probably referring to this.

​Yes Danp2,

 when I used 

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 1)
$emailElement = _IEGetObjByName($oFrame, "default_cli")
_IEAction($emailElement, 'focus')
Sleep(500)
_IEPropertySet ( $emailElement, "innertext", "myDefault CLI")

The same behaviot happenes ( I saw the lines updated but the site didn't save the data)

 

[NirKlieman]

OK, I solve it.

The problem was somthing about Knockout code which were behind the page and prevents  third party programs (such as the AutoIT) to change the input. The key is to use 'execscript'.

The working code is: 

   $command = "top.main_frame.window.viewModel.default_cli('" & "myDefault CLI" & "');"
   $oIE.document.parentwindow.execscript($command)


Thanks for all of you !!
