Frame by Frame - Inputing Data - Firefox

[IanN1990]

Good Afternoon,

With help i am now able to automate one of three websites previously beyond my reach. Using what i have learnt i am trying to automate the last two

I learnt to interact with certain fields i need to be inside its frame.

Below is a picture from DOM explorer (May need to fullscreen the picture, as i found the text was blurred)

So my target frame (i believe) is Frame RBL. Which is in the Third Block, after RB and R. R and RB are the second frames in their blocks. 

From that i wrote this code;

#NoTrayIcon
#include "array.au3"
#include "FF V0.6.0.1b-15.au3"

_FFConnect()

_FFSetValue("test", "user", "name

_FFFrameEnter(2)
_FFFrameEnter(2)
_FFFrameEnter(1)

_FFSetValue("test", "user", "name")

but it fails.

_SetValue Returns 0,  _FFrameEnter Returns 1.

Am i on the right track?

any reason you do this thru firefox? 

Image to blurred to say something usefull. Post the parts of the DOM tree in text 

If you do not know where you are going you are on the right track ;-)

If you know the name of the frame, then you can lookup by name instead of index:

_FFFrameEnter("RBL", "name")

Also, your code above will never run because the first _FFSetValue is missing a quote and a closing parentheses.

I apologize for my delayed response. Work became manic on the run up the Christmas. 

That said, i hope everyone has had a good Christmas  and is looking forward to a positive New Year!

Because i cant control the version of IE i have this causing issues with certain websites.

It seams AutoIt blurs pictures that are quite big, to see it unblurred i opened image in a new tab

I didn't know you could enter the frame by name, very cool : )

Your correct, the code i wrote into the form was missing a quote!

#NoTrayIcon
#include "FF V0.6.0.1b-15.au3"

_FFConnect()
_FFFrameEnter("RBL", "name")
_FFSetValue("test", "user", "name")

As with before FrameEnter returns 1 and SetValue returns 0.

I don't understand why though?

The Field is a Input with a name="user" and inside frame name = "RBL"

The syntax for _FFSetValue is correct as well.

I was looking over the DOM Inspector and had a thought.

Do i need to enter the Form as well? As i saw

<Form name="selectUser" action="setup.exe?action=make_rb_fs" encType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="post" target="RB">

I also found this  "Unique Selector", if that is any help?

body > center:nth-child(5) > table:nth-child(1) > tbody:nth-child(1) > tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(1) > form:nth-child(2) > table:nth-child(4) > tbody:nth-child(1) > tr:nth-child(1) > td:nth-child(2) > input:nth-child(1)

I don't use _FFSetValue. Try this instead --

Func UpdateWebForm($cField, $cValue)
    _FFXPath("//form//input[@name='" & $cField & "']")
    _FFCmd("FFau3.xpath.value='" & $cValue & "'")
EndFunc

Hope you had a happy new year!

Unfortunately it yields the same result
 

#NoTrayIcon
#include "FF V0.6.0.1b-15.au3"

_FFConnect()
_FFFrameEnter("RBL", "name")
UpdateWebForm("user", "test")

Func UpdateWebForm($cField, $cValue)
    _FFXPath("//form//input[@name='" & $cField & "']")
    _FFCmd("FFau3.xpath.value='" & $cValue & "'")
EndFunc

_FFXPath Returns OBJECT|FFau3.xpath and _FFCmd returns_FFCmd_Err

I think my issue is to do with the FrameEnter.

I used firefox right-click option (show only this frame) and _FFSetValue code works inputting data into the field.

I was right

#NoTrayIcon
#include "FF V0.6.0.1b-15.au3"
#include "array.au3"

_FFConnect()

_FFFrameEnter("R", "name")
_FFFrameEnter("RB", "name")
_FFFrameEnter("RBL", "name")
_FFSetValue("no", "user", "name")

Works
