Having trouble getting the object name from a form created in java script


Recommended Posts

Okay, let me re-word this question:

In the form I am trying to manipulate, a Form Element has the following characteristics:

- Index = 10

- tag = TEXTAREA

- Name = CTL_6_4

- ID = CTL_6_4

I have tried:

$o_Mail = _IEFormGetObjByName ($o_IE, "form1")
$o_Body = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_Mail, "ctl_6_4")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_Body, $Body)

But to no avail. In the same form, I use the following code to sucessfully set the value of a form element (type=input) with the following code:

$o_Mail = _IEFormGetObjByName ($o_IE, "form1")
$o_Subject = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_Mail, "_ctl6:_ctl4:subject")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_Subject, $Subject)

So I guess what I am asking is how to set the value of a TEXTAREA form element .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Edit: OK, this example as originally posted created some confusion. I've split it up and added some comments to make it more clear.

-------------------------------------------------

Here is a self-contained example of setting the value of a TextArea:

; The first section of this script:
;    1) creates a new, empty browser window 
;    2) creates a form with a text area for testing (using $sBody)
;
#include <ie.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate()
_IELoadWait($oIE)
$sBody = "<form id='form1'><textarea cols=20 rows=8 id='tarea'></textarea></form>"
_IEBodyWriteHTML($oIE,$sBody)

; This section of the script demonstrates how to set the value of an existing TextArea.  
; You'll need to modify it to match the structure of your HTML, but it works with the 
; HTML loaded above.

; get a reference to the form
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE,"form1") 

; get a reference to the textarea element
$oTarea = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm,"tarea") 

; write text to the textarea element
 _IEFormElementSetValue($oTarea,"Text In a TextArea")

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
