How to set form element on IE for an INPUT tag

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi 

 

I am trying to set the form element for this html

<input name="ctl00$MPH$pnlOutstandingPayments$ctlPaymentFileListing$ctl28" class="VerySmallFormEntry" style="width: 173px;" type="text">

 

by using the below ( i am trying 2 method first by _IEFormElementSetValue then by using a For Loop to loop through the Inputs 

;Select Accounts matching
$AccountsID = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oIE, "ctl00$MPH$pnlOutstandingPayments$ctlPaymentFileListing$ctl28")
_IEFormElementSetValue($AccountsID, "TEST1")
If @error Then
   ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Can't set value")
EndIf

Local $Divs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
For $Div In $Divs
    ;~ Check if Button InnerText equals Log In and perform an action.
    ;~ Uncomment the _IEAction line below to submit the form.
    If $Div.innerText = "TEST1"    Then
       if @Error then
          ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Error finding submit button")

          Endif
        MsgBox(64, 'A TEST1 account found', 'Div found with value: ' & $Div.InnerText, 2)
        ExitLoop
        Sleep(4000)
    EndIf
 Next

However I get the console write of the first error but it doesn't do anything on the For loop (it doesn't hit the IF @error

It might help if you showed us the full console output. Also, your second method doesn't make sense to me. You are checking @error, but it isn't clear which command would have set the value.

There's not much in the console output 

 

Loading URL --> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEFormElementGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_InvalidObjectType
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEFormElementSetValue, $_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType

Can't set value>Exit code: 0    Time: 24.44

Well.... it's enough to explain why the first method didn't work.

Did you try _IEGetObjByName instead? Have you checked to see if the site uses frames?

Could your problem be that the first parameter of the _IEFormElementGetObjByName() function should be the form object, not the IE application object?  Look at the help file's example for the _IEFormElementGetObjByName() function.  Notice how they get the form object, using _IEFormGetObjByName(), right before they use it in the _IEFormElementGetObjByName() function in the next line?
