Hi,

I am unable to perform a simple _IEFormElementOptionSelect task. Though I am well versed with it somehow in this case i am totally stuck. Kindly help. Below is my code. 

This is what I have on the webpage

<select name="peExceptionReason" id="peExceptionReason">
    <option value="" selected="selected"></option>
    <option value="NO_STRAT">Stratification is not in place on this account.</option>
    <option value="OTHER">Other (*Additional Information Required)</option>
</select>

My Code: 

Local $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "outage_processEventComplete")
$Reason = _IEGetObjById($oForm, "peExceptionReason")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($Reason, "Other (*Additional Information Required)", 1, "byText")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($Reason, "OTHER", 1, "byValue")

Error: 

--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEFormElementOptionSelect, $_IESTATUS_InvalidObjectType

Shouldn't this be 

$Reason = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "peExceptionReason")

?

I tried as you suggested, Danp2 

Local $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "outage_processEventComplete")
Local $Reason = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "peExceptionReason")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($Reason, "Other (*Additional Information Required)", 1, "byText")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($Reason, "OTHER", 1, "byValue")

And output: 

--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEFormElementGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEFormElementOptionSelect, $_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEFormElementOptionSelect, $_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType

I found something strange. The problem is with the name of the element and hence _IEFormElementOptionSelect is not working. 

--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch (Name: peExceptionReason, Index: 0)
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEFormElementOptionSelect, $_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType

But now the question is how to identify this element? The webpage says below 

<form id="outage_processEventComplete" name="outage_processEventComplete" action="/services/oneview/was/outage.processEventComplete.action" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="ibm-row-form ibm-styled compact-form">

Another breakthrough 

--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch (Name: peExceptionReason, Index: 0)
Frame number 0: Object not found! 
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch (Name: peExceptionReason, Index: 0)
Frame number 1: Object not found!

Now how to locate this element? Please help

Haven't done much with the IE udf yet but since I'm willing to learn and help I gave it a try.

 

Can you try the following code?

  

Local $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "outage_processEventComplete")
Local $oSelect = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "peExceptionReason")

_IEAction($oSelect, "focus")

_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oSelect, "Other (*Additional Information Required)", 1, "byText")

You could also try: 

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("", 1)
Local $oSelects = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "Select")
Local $oOptions
For $oSelect in $oSelects
    If $oSelect.id = "peExceptionReason" Then
        $oOptions = _IETagNameGetCollection($oSelect, "Option")
        For $oOption In $oOptions
            If StringStripWS($oOption.InnerText, 7) = "Other (*Additional Information Required)" Then $oOption.Selected = True
        Next
    EndIf
Next

Still waiting for help... :(

You have us at a disadvantage since you haven't told us the URL nor have you provided a copy of the complete HTML. If you are unable to do this, then you need to help us help you by providing more details.

For example, does the website use frames? If so, which frame contains the desired object? Etc.

Thanks Subz.. I tried the method but couldn't see the desired result though it ended with no errors

Danp2.. Unfortunately as this is for my company, I am not authorized to reveal the URL in public forum. However, with regard to frames I already posted about it. For your convenience I am posting it again. Let me know your thoughts.

For time being, I am using "Send" command which I am not comfortable of using but I don't have any other choice. 

_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "No")

    Sleep(2000)

    Send("{TAB 3}")
    Send("{DOWN 9}")
    Send("{TAB}")
    Send("{NUMPADDOT}")

    Sleep(2000)

    ; Below code will find elements with no "Name" of "Id"
    $oLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
    For $oLink In $oLinks
        If String($oLink.type) = "submit" And String($oLink.value) = "Submit" Then
            _IEAction($oLink, "click")
        EndIf
    Next

Yes... I understand. I also saw your earlier post. However, you didn't how us the code you ran to get it. Therefore, I'm left to guess that there are two frames. And I've no further idea as to why _IEGetObjByName is failing in your case. 

; Below code finds the Frame where the element resides
Local $oFrames = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE)
Local $iNumFrames = @extended
Local $oFrame = 0

For $i = 0 To ($iNumFrames - 1)
    $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $i)

    $oInput1 = _IEGetObjById($oFrame, "0")

    If @error Then
        ConsoleWrite("Frame number " & $i & ": Object not found! " & @CRLF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Frame number " & $i & ": Object found! " & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Next

You previously showed us some HTML where the is was "peExceptionReason". Why are you using "suspensionReasonCode" here instead?

My bad. That was by mistake. I have a template and I copy pasted it. Below is the code which I used in this case 

; Below code finds the Frame where the element resides
Local $oFrames = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE)
Local $iNumFrames = @extended
;~ Local $oFrame = 0

For $i = 0 To ($iNumFrames - 1)
    $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $i)

    $oInput1 = _IEGetObjById($oFrame, "peExceptionReason")

    If @error Then
        ConsoleWrite("Frame number " & $i & ": Object not found! " & @CRLF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Frame number " & $i & ": Object found! " & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Next

And this is the error output 

--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEGetObjById, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch (peExceptionReason)
Frame number 0: Object not found! 
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEGetObjById, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch (peExceptionReason)
Frame number 1: Object not found!

Tried using _IEGetObjByName as well 

--> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch (Name: peExceptionReason, Index: 0)
Frame number 0: Object not found! 
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch (Name: peExceptionReason, Index: 0)
Frame number 1: Object not found!

Can you add the following and run via Scite and let us know what the output is in the Console? 

ConsoleWrite("ID: " & $oSelect.id & @CRLF & "Name: " & $oSelect.name & @CRLF)

Here is the output

So do you have two forms on the page with the same ID?  Strange that it appears twice as Id should only be used once per page.

If you also add after the For $oOption In $oOptions

ConsoleWrite($oOption.InnerText & @CRLF)

What does that return?
