Login button doesnt recognize non-empty value set by _IEFormElementSetValue

[lazerpld]

I am trying to set up a simple login script with AutoIT to work with VMware ESXi.

The web page simply has username and password fields as well as a login button.

I have no issues setting the text into the two fields by use of _IEFormElementSetValue ($username, "blablabla")

But the login button remains disabled; therefore i cannot click it.

If i manually type a space or any character into the text boks where "blablabla" is already put in, the button is enabled.

It is as if the inputted text is not recognized and still being evaluated as empty.

In the html code the button looks like this:

<input id="submit" class="button blue" type="submit" value="Log in" ng-disabled="credentials.username === '' ||
                  loggingIn" disabled="disabled">

Anyone knows why this happens and how to handle this?

Solved it by doing following:

_IEAction ($username, "focus")
Send("AA")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($username, "tedsfsdfsdffst")

@lazerpld it is great you resolved your issue (you could also have just used PowerCLI). In the future however, please pay attention to where you post. The DEV forum very clearly states:
