When using IE.au3 what is the best way to get form index #?


Recommended Posts

$oIE = _IECreate ($URL)  
$o_form = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE,?formindex?)

What if there is 100 forms on a page? None have id's or names.

What is the fastest way to find out the specific ID of a form on that page?

Thanks for any info!

In addition to big_daddy's advice, consider that you can iterate through the items in the collection and check their properties for what you are looking for. You can find the properties documented on MSDN (see _IE_Introduction() for a pointer). For example, every form has a .action:

$oIE = _IECreate ($URL)  
$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)
Dim $i = 0
For $oForm in $oForms
    ConsoleWrite("Index: " & $i & " Action: " & $oForm.action
    $i = $i + 1
Next

You can also obviously check the value of $oFrom.action instead of writing it out and if it matches what you are looking for, do what you want to do with the object and ExitLoop.

Food for thought...

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?
