FF.au3 finding element name

[keafter]

Ok so I have firefox, mozrepl, and firebug.

It has been a loooong time since I tried to work with firefox and currently my searches are yielding no results.

Does anyone know how to find the names of elements?

Ex:

Func Directions()
    _FFStart("http://www.drivingdirectionsandmaps.com/route-planner/")
    _FFSetValue($from,"input#from","name")
    _FFSetValue($to,"input#to","name")
EndFunc

I'm trying to input 2 addresses into the above website. The elements are not named "input#from" and "input#to." No idea how to utilize firebug to find the element name. Seems like back in the day firebug would give you a list of all the elements somehow. Dunno.

If not this, does anyone have a better idea of how to automate printing directions from one address to another? Preferably without hacking my way around controlsend and mouse clicks.

You can use Firebug to find the element name / id. You can press Ctrl+Shift+C to enter "Inspect" mode where you then click on an element to select it in Firebug for further review. In your case, the elements are named "from" and "to".

Sweet ok I thought it was "from" and "to" but apparently I wasn't connecting to Mozrepl in the first place. Thanks for helping me diagnose that. Can't remember how I got mozrepl connected, but it is now and I'm not complaining

Next question:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/

is a bit cleaner site for finding and printing directions. However there isn't anything in the id and name tag for the From and To search box inputs. It's just "". Am I just sol on that? I assume this is a difference between reading html tags and js tags. Or am I just missing something and the element name is elsewhere?

Edit: It appears that https://www.google.com/maps/dir/ can actually manually be input as

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/from+address+with+spaces/to+address+with+spaces which means I can automate by simply going to that address. It would be nice however to know if there was still a way to work with inputs similar to this in the future! Thanks
