Checking Boxes in Internet Explorer or Mozilla

[milkman]

I need to know how to check boxes on a web site. Here is a picture of what I need.

Those 2 check boxes at the bottum. How can I do this.

How did that have anything to do with the problem at hand?

@milkman - look at IE.au3... it might be able to help (at least with automation, not sure about checking boxes or anything.. haven't tried).

ie.au3 is definitely the way to go, it can check boxes etc assuming that they are in an html form, and it's not a java app or anything. also, just my $.02, while i would agree with you that the mocking post was not very professional, i must still admit that i laughed, and was relieved someone else did it so i wouldn't have to. In the OP's defense though, they're looking to automate the game, so it can be assumed they're not looking to really enjoy playing it.

Ive looked through IE.au3, but would the check boxes be considered a form? WHich function would I use.

Also in my defense, this was requested by a member at a site I belong to. =P

Are check boxes considered forms?

Check boxes are part of forms...

EDIT: supply the source code of the website please.

I found the part of the source where it talks about the check boxes, unfortunitally they have the same name. How can I check them both.

<input type=checkbox name=wep[]value=4412336f82d63></td>

<td align=center bgcolor=white width=25%>

<img src='images/items/battlehammer.png' width=90 height=90 border=0 alt='Battle Hammer'>

<br>

<input type=checkbox name=wep[] value=4410936c812b4></td>

[nfwu]

Not quite enough source code... I need the part <form> and </form>

This example opens the AutoIt forum search page and toggles the sortby radiobuttons. An identical technique can be used with checkboxes.

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?act=Search&f=")

$oFrom = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "sForm")
$oRelevant = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oFrom, "sortby", 0)
$oRecent = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oFrom, "sortby", 1)

For $i = 1 to 5
    $oRelevant.checked = True
    Sleep(1000)
    $oRecent.checked = True
    Sleep(1000)
Next

might want to try the IE.au3 Builder .... its in my signature below

I get this error when I run the script

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\Include\IE.au3 (848) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

If IsObj($o_object.elements.item ($s_name, $i_index)) Then

If IsObj($o_object^ ERROR

[nfwu]

Hmmm.... i've seen that error before...

I'll go check the post with it.

You should check out the discussion of checkboxes and radio buttons here
