IE Button Click Problem

[Balachander K]

Hi,

I am having a problem after a click of a submit button in a IE page.

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oCenterPanel,"publishMessageForm")
If @error Then
    $vLogMsg = "Error occured $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oCenterPanel,publishMessageForm). Error: " & @error & ", Function: _TigerLogin"
    MsgBox(4096, "Error!!", $vLogMsg)
    MsgBox(4096, "Error!", "Test is Stopped. Please Run the test after fixing the issue.")
    Exit
EndIf
$oSubmitButton = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm,"submitButton",3)
If @error Then
    $vLogMsg = "Error occured $oSubmitButton = _IEGetObjByName($oCenterPanel,submitButton,3). Error: " & @error & ", Function: _TigerLogin"
    MsgBox(4096, "Error!!", $vLogMsg)
    MsgBox(4096, "Error!", "Test is Stopped. Please Run the test after fixing the issue.")
    Exit
EndIf
MsgBox(0,"BeforeClick",_IELoadWaitTimeout ())
_IEAction($oSubmitButton,"click");SCRIPT HANGS HERE!!!!
If @error Then
    $vLogMsg = "Error occured _IEAction($oSubmitButton,click). Error: " & @error & ", Function: _TigerLogin"
    MsgBox(4096, "Error!!", $vLogMsg)
    MsgBox(4096, "Error!", "Test is Stopped. Please Run the test after fixing the issue.")
    Exit
EndIf
MsgBox(0,"AfterClick","AfterClick")
Sleep(1000)

WinActive("Microsoft Internet Explorer","Please confirm you w")
ControlClick("Microsoft Internet Explorer","Please confirm you w","Button1")
Sleep(1000)
MsgBox(0,"AfterSubmit","AfterSubmit")

Here the problems is i am clicking on the submit button and after that i get a popup message box with ok and cancel...here the autoit hangs.

AutoIT hangs after the click of the submit button itself...i am not getting the after click message box i have put...although i am getting the before click messagebox...

i have tried to submit the form directly but the values are not getting set as it calls a sequence of javascripts.

$oSubmitButton.click is having the same effect as _IEAction...

Is it anything to do with the IE window getting disabled because of the modal dialog box?

Am i missing something basic here?

i broke my head with this for hours...somebody please help...

<td>
            <input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Submit" onclick="java script:return submitPublish('submit');">
            &nbsp;
            <input type="submit" name="cancelButton" value="Cancel" onclick="java script:return submitPublish('cancel');">
        </td>

I'm guilty of not using _IE.au3... but is $oSubmitButton defined anywhere?

The modal dialog pauses browser execution and your script is waiting a return status from the click event.

You can use a similar w/around as this one for input type=file elements:

; *******************************************************
; Example 4 - Set the value of an INPUT TYPE=FILE element
;            (security restrictions prevent using _IEFormElementSetValue)
; *******************************************************
;
#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IE_Example("form")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "ExampleForm")
$oInputFile = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "fileExample")

; Assign input focus to the field and then send the text string
_IEAction($oInputFile, "focus")
Send("C:\myfile.txt")

focus on your input button and then send Enter or Space. Your script then gets control back and you can use standard AutoIt functions to dismiss the dialog.
