Firefox With MozRepl Does Not Work With Multiple Lines of Text

[jfcby 2]

I have a script that sends multiple lines of text to a textbox using Firefox. I using _FFSetValue($sCellValue[7], "line one" & @CR & "line two", "id") from ff.au3. If it's a single line of text it works but MozRepl give the following error with multiple lines of text.

Error:  

__FFSend: try{FFau3.simulateEvent(window.content.top.document.getElementById('line one
line two'),'Event','change',13);}catch(e){'_FFCmd_Err';};

__FFWaitForRepl ==> Error return value: MozRepl ....>
__FFSend: ;
__FFRecv:
__FFSend: FFau3.WCD=window.content.top.document;

__FFWaitForRepl ==> Error return value: MozRepl ....>
__FFRecv: !!! SyntaxError: unterminated string literal

Details:

 [object HTMLDocument] - {mainForm: {...}, location: {...}, getElementsByName: function() {...}, getItems: function() {...}, open: function() {...}, close: function() {...}, write: function() {...}, ...}
!!! SyntaxError: unterminated string literal

Will MozRepl plugin for Firefox send multiple lines of text to a textbox?

Thanks for your help.

Please post a script that we can run to reproduce the issue. Be sure to use a public website that anyone can access.

Also, please provide additional info regarding your setup (ie: AutoIT version, FF.au3 version, etc).

I'm using the following...

AutoIt Version: v3.3.6.1
FF.au3 version: V0.6.0.1b-15
Firefox Version: 45.0.2
Excel Version: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013

My full script is reading text from a cell in an Excel file that has multiple lines of text.

For example:

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

Each cell will vary in how many lines each has. Some will have 2 while others will have more.

In order to provide a script that gives the same error that I'm getting run the following script.

#include <FF.au3>
; trying to connect to a running FireFox with MozRepl on
If _FFConnect(Default, Default, 3000) Then

    Local $ET, $ETLS
    ; open a page
    _FFOpenURL("http://frankiecooper.com/contact/")
    Sleep(3000)

    $ET1 = "Example Text Line 1"
    $ET2 = "Example Text Line 2"
    $ET3 = "Example Text Line 3"

    $ETLS = $ET1 & @LF
    $ETLS &= $ET2 & @LF
    $ETLS &= $ET3
    MsgBox(0, "", $ETLS)

    _FFSetValue($ETLS , "fscf_field1_3", "id") ;

    ; disconnect from FireFox
    If _FFDisConnect() Then MsgBox(64, "", "Disconnected from FireFox!")
Else
    MsgBox(64, "", "Can't connect to FireFox!")
EndIf

 

Thanks for your help.

I'm not a big user of _FFSetValue. Here's how I would do it --

#include <FF.au3>
; trying to connect to a running FireFox with MozRepl on
If _FFConnect(Default, Default, 3000) Then

    Local $ET, $ETLS
    ; open a page
    _FFOpenURL("http://frankiecooper.com/contact/")
    Sleep(3000)

    $ET1 = "Example Text Line 1"
    $ET2 = "Example Text Line 2"
    $ET3 = "Example Text Line 3"

    Local $cField = 'fscf_field1_3'
    Local $NL = '\n'

    $ETLS = $ET1 & $NL
    $ETLS &= $ET2 & $NL
    $ETLS &= $ET3

    _FFXPath("//textarea[@id='" & $cField & "']")
    _FFCmd("FFau3.xpath.value='" & $ETLS & "'")

    ; disconnect from FireFox
    _FFDisConnect()
Else
    MsgBox(64, "", "Can't connect to FireFox!")
EndIf
