(Solved)Selecting Category and Sub-Category From Separate Drop Downs In IE

[rm4453 0]

I can't seem to figure out how to select  Category and Sub-Category with autoit from a Dropdown in IE.

I am building this for a private site so I will be unable to give you a link to it, however I have found a form online that is almost exactly the same as the one I am using... Here is the link to it: https://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=1126

I need to somehow select a Category and Sub-Category... the site I will be using it on has quite an extensive list for Categories and Sub-Categories so I will need to be able to make sure it is working periodically and posting to the correct categories... "Am building an auto blogger type of software for private use Pls let me know if this is against forum rules!"
    In advanced Thank You for all of your help!

"P.S. This is part of the code I have figured out so far... (You will have to login to see the form I am talking about...)

;Set category!

$cat = _IEGetObjById($ie, "cat")

;Set subcategory!

$subcat = _IEGetObjByID($ie, "subcat")

;Time to submit the form!

$oButtons = _IETagnameGetCollection($ie, "input")
For $oButton in $oButtons
    If String($oButton.value) = "Submit" Then
        _IEAction($oButton, "click")
        MsgBox("Success", "Button Clicked", "Next Step!")
        ExitLoop
    Else
        MsgBox("Failed", "The Button " & $oButton & "Does Not Have The Value", "Try Again!")
    EndIf
Next

I'm not 100% about what you're asking. Are you trying to make it so that Your programs finds a subcategory under another category, and then clicks that link?

So if you set the category to be Sports, and then the Subcategory to be Utah_Jazz, you want Autoit to click Utah_Jazz under the category, correct?

I don't understand that part... how would i use it? "would it be this?"

_IEFormElementOptionSelect($ie, "Lawn and Garden", 1, "byText")

Or would I need to add-on to it?

[mLipok 656]

I do not see "Lawn and Garden", but I see

<option value="51">Home and Garden</option>

 

_IEFormElementOptionSelect($ie, "Home and Garden", 1, "byText")

 

But first focusing on :

Parameters

$oObject

Form Element Object of type "Select Option"

 

Now look in html:

<select name="cat" class="boxOk" id="cat" style="width: 250px; margin-bottom: 5px;" onchange="getSubCat();">

 

Finally :

Local $oIE_Cat = _IEGetObjById($oIE, 'cat')
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oIE_Cat, "Home and Garden", 1, "byText")

Sweet that makes sense... Thank You So MUCH! one more ?
Is this how I would select Go ?

$oButtons = _IETagnameGetCollection($ksl, "input")
For $oButton in $oButtons
    If String($oButton.value) = "Go" Then
        _IEAction($oButton, "click")
        MsgBox("Success", "Button Clicked", "Next Step!")
        ExitLoop
    Else
        MsgBox("Failed", "The Button " & $oButton & "Does Not Have The Value", "Try Again!")
    EndIf

go is not     Input . This is Button
go is not     .value  (attribute of element) 
go is           .id (attribute of element)     or is   .innerHtml (content of element).

<button id="go" onclick="doJump(document.getElementById('subCatSelect')); return false;">Go</button>

Try this:

Local $oIEButton_go = _IEGetObjById($oIE, 'go')
_IEAction($oIEButton_go, 'click')
