Submit dosn't work

[silvanr]

If a button name submit, then I can't press it with _IEFormSubmit.

For example:

#include <IE.au3> 
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.redaware.ch/shop/test.php")
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)

;Button Click
$x = _IEFormSubmit($oForm)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(7) : $x = ' & $x & @lf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @lf) ;### Debug Console

Console output: $x = -1

What wrong?

Is that a bug?

@silvanr - I'm not sure what is wrong, but here is a workaround.

#include <IE.au3>

$sURL = "http://www.redaware.ch/shop/test.php"
$oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "cart_quantity")
$oSubmit = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "submit")
_IEAction($oSubmit, "click")

There does appear to be a problem, but it is not in IE.au3

It appears taht the DOM is treating "submit" as a reserved word in that context and it gets confused and does not perform the action.

The case can be simplified to this:

#include <IE.au3> 

; Create browser with desired content
$oIE = _IECreate()
$sHTML = ""
$sHTML &= "<FORM action='java script:alert(""FormSubmitted"");'>"
$sHTML &= "<INPUT type=submit value=submit name=submit> </FORM>"
_IEBodyWriteHTML($oIE, $sHTML)

; Get form reference
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
; submit action is ignored
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

If you change the name to something other than submit, it works.

There is nothing that can be doce from IE.au3 -- big_daddy's work around is a good one.

Many web pages use submit as name.

Is there an alternative possibility?

[silvanr]

Use this function: _IEAction ($oSubmit, "click")

That works :-)

For example:

#include <IE.au3> 

; Create browser with desired content
$oIE = _IECreate()
$sHTML = ""
$sHTML &= "<FORM action='java script:alert(""FormSubmitted"");'>"
$sHTML &= "<INPUT type=submit value=submit name=submit> </FORM>"
_IEBodyWriteHTML($oIE, $sHTML)

; Get form reference
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
$oSubmit = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm, 0)
; submit action is ignored
;~ _IEFormSubmit($oForm)
_IEAction ($oSubmit,  "click")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)

@silvanr - That was the workaround you were already given.
