IE.au3 Library is the answer

There are 15 great demo/examples of use in my Welcome to Autoit 1-2-3 below ( in my sig )

and / or

the beta of Autoit has IE.au3 examples in the help file

thanks they are of great help but i think this particular page is doing somthing strange i cant seek to find object by name

the code goes like this

; Log into dark throne

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate()

_IENavigate($oIE, "http://omega.darkthrone.com/")

; get pointers to the login form and username and password fields

$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "name")

$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "email")

$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "password")

; Set field values and submit the form

_IEFormElementSetValue($o_login, "email")

_IEFormElementSetValue($o_password, "password")

Sleep(2000)

_IEFormSubmit($o_form)

Exit

but i keep getting an error

--> IE.au3 Warning from function _IEFormGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

i have looked thru the sourcecode and as far as i can i the name is name

I am having a similar problem, and the answer DEFINITELY isn't in the help files nor in the auto1-2-3 examples.

So, for example, on the "hotmail login" script,

$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f1")

$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "login")

$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "passwd")

How did they figure out that the form's name was "f1"? From there, it would be intuitive enough to guess that the form named "login" is the login form. But how did they figure out the parent?

I tried to use _IELinkClickByText. For example, on video.google.com, if I try the _IELinkClickByText to look for "Sign In", it doesn't actually click it!

you can figue it out in the sourcecode its says name "F1" but on the dt login it does not but i have found a way round it now .
