#include <IE.au3>
$IE = _IECreate("http://www.sendmefiles.com/?gclid=CKynwoz3-YUCFSOvJAodtgtpuw")
_IELoadWait($IE)

$form = _IEFormGetObjByName($IE,"Send Now")
$Email = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($form,"emailto")
;$Browse = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($Browse,"message")
_IEFormElementSetValue($Email,"vicks@hotmail.com")
_IEFormElementSetValue($Browse,"C:\test.exe")
_IEFormSubmit($form)

ok if you go to this site you should see a browse button, by the left hand side there is a input box instead of me browsing for my file ill would like to just to insert the path in the input box, but i can't find the code for that input box please help. thanks

That is an <input type=file> element. Security restrinctions prevent it from being scriptable in the way other form elements are (and it fails silently when you try).

See this post for a way to work around this issue.

Hi Dale

I'm also interested in that issue - I don't need it but for "educational" reason

Can you please tell how exactly can be done this workaround?

Your post is to all examples and not to <input type=file>.

Thanks

EDIT: Did you mean SetFocus & Send?

Vicks, I see your trouble with this page. It turns out that the HTML on the page has a major error in it -- there are two <FORM> tags, but only one closing </FORM> tag. You should notify the owners of the page.

You can therefore not get to the form elements through the form because the DOM is confused. You can get references to the form elements by name (or index) however and do what you want. Here is an example for the emailto field:

$Email = _IEGetObjByName($IE, "emailto")
_IEFormElementSetValue($Email,"vicks@hotmail.com")

Because of this you'll also not be able to use _IEFormSubmit, but you can get a reference to the Submit button in the same way and then use _IEAction with a "click" parameter.

You'll still need to use the SetFocus and Send workaround for the input type=file field.
