Problem With IE Form Username / Password Input

[Neoborn]

Hello Guys,

I am trying to auto login to this page(Not Safe For Work) but cannot for some reason get it to input the username and password values into the correct form fields. Can anyone help me with this and possibly tell me why?

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.theforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4", 1)

$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oIE, "vb_login_username")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oIE, "vb_login_password")
;~ $o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "Log in")

$username = "Fr3@K@Z°!d@L"
$password = "jesus"

; Set field values and submit the form
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)

_IEFormElementGetObjByName takes a form as the first param, not a browser object. Please see the helpfile and examples.

Sorry I am a total newb to IE.au3 etc. Can you instruct me further?

What is the name of the form? Can you guys get this to work for you?

The forms on that page don't have names. You'll need to use _IEFormGetCollection and specify an index.

That form get collection says "there are three forms on this page" then "0", "0" and "0"

Any help?

[DaleHohm]

That form get collection says "there are three forms on this page" then "0", "0" and "0"

I don't know what that means - "That form get collection says"

[Neoborn]

I don't know what that means - "That form get collection says"

This command _IEFormGetCollection produces a msg box that says "there are three forms on this page" then "0", "0" and "0"

You'll need to show your code because there is nothing in IE.au3 that would produce anything like that.

I think he might be refering to this:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.autoitscript.com")

$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)

MsgBox(0, "Forms Info", "There are " & @extended & " forms on this page")

For $oForm In $oForms

MsgBox(0, "Form Info", $oForm.name)

Next

He might have adlibed the "MsgBox" to get 0,0,0. I get one '0'

I'm very interested in the outcome of this post. I have a URL that apparently does not have forms either.

OK, so that is one of the examples in the helpfile for _IEFormGetCollection, it is obviously not the function itself.

You can reference forms (or any element by name or by Index. The *GetCollection routines can return either a collection or a single object by specifying its index.

Here is the example expanded to hpefully make it clear:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.google.com", 1)
$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)
MsgBox(0, "Forms Info", "There are " & @extended & " forms on this page")
$i = 0
For $oForm In $oForms
    MsgBox(0, "Form Info: " & $i, "get a reference to this form with:" & @CR & @CR & @TAB & _
    "$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, " & $i & ")")
    $i += 1
Next

Just thought I'd add this to maybe help clear things up even farther.

#include <IE.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com")
$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE)
MsgBox(0, "Form(s) Info", "There are " & @extended & " form(s) on this page")
$i = 0
For $oForm In $oForms
    MsgBox(0, "HTML for Form " & $i, $oForm.innerHTML)
    $i += 1
Next

(Wow, I was going to delete my post after further thought, but I was 'caught' with two replies.)

Thanks for the Fast response!

I tried both above examples using "google" and it was very informative, but what about sites like this:

https://ola.orcasnet.com/cuso/members/wfs/

It reports "0" forms in the Msgs and that's it.

I now use winwait and sendkeys. I perfer the IE.au3 method, its faster and more stable.

I've searched for more examples of IE.au3 , but can't find usage for the above page.

vim

The page has frames, this code shows how to get a reference to a form from within a frame.

#include <IE.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

$oIE = _IECreate("https://ola.orcasnet.com/cuso/members/wfs/")
; Get a reference to the "member" frame
$oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, "member")
; Get a collection of forms within the frame
$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection($oFrame)
MsgBox(0, "Form(s) Info", "There are " & @extended & " form(s) on this page")
$i = 0
For $oForm In $oForms
    MsgBox(0, "HTML for Form " & $i, $oForm.innerHTML)
    $i += 1
Next

[vim]

'big_daddy', Thank you. You've been big help. Now I have something I can study...

I wrote a little script to automate logins for all kind of webpages. You can find the script at

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19403

In your case you could do:

KeeForm https://ola.orcasnet.com/cuso/members/wfs/ USERNAME PASSWORD {ENTERFORM}

KeeForm http://www.theforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4 USERNAME PASSWORD {ENTERFORM}

Other examples are:

KeeForm mail.yahoo.com USERNAME PASSWORD {ENTERFORM}

KeeForm http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?act=Members USERNAME PASSWORD {ENTERFORM}

I recommend to combine KeeForm with KeePass keepass.sf.net (this might be better than storing your passwords in files)

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Dave
