How to fill web form inside opened site?

not-me · December 1, 2006

can i know how to fill a form inside a website without needing to open the website (the website already opened) and without reload the site or using the mouse?

can i find a way to do that ?

i try to use _IEAttach by i get:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (2799) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:

Return HWnd($o_object.HWND ())

Return ^ ERROR

Thanks for all and for this forum.

Can you show me your entire _IEAttach code?

And yes you can fill out the form using IE.au3 functions. Show me what you have and I'll try to help you.

DaleHohm · December 1, 2006

Yes, please do supply some code...

There are a couple of scenarios that will produce that error with _IEAttach. I am trying to erradicate them with a new release -- IE.au3 T2.0-6 pre-release - please test and report your results.

thanks,

Dale

someone, thank you for replying

but i deleted my code. can u help me in the hotmail login form as example:

This code to login to hotmail using IECreate

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.hotmail.com",1)
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "login")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwd")
$o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "SI")
$username = "your username here"
$password = "your password here"
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEAction ($o_signin, "click")

i want to do the same but without open the hotmail page (the hotmail page is already opened and i want to fill the username and pass in the form direclty)

i hope that u understand me .

Thanks alot

If Dale comes back I'm a little curious to hear the answer, but I've never had good luck with using _IECreate ("", 1) but maybe its just me. What I find is more reliable is using _IEattach...

I can't check to see if this works right now since I'm at work and they don't allow me to go to any email sites... but try this

#include <IE.au3>
$handle = ControlGetHandle ("title", "text")
$oIE = _IEAttach($handle, "HWND")
;$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.hotmail.com",1)
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "login")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwd")
$o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "SI")
$username = "your username here"
$password = "your password here"
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEAction ($o_signin, "click")

I think the best way of using _IEAttach is with handles, but you can also use title, text... plus others.

_IEAttach('titleofIEwindow',"Title") why not just go by title instead of using the title to get the handle

someone · December 1, 2006

I guess I use handles since a handle doesn't change... but your right you can definitely use either, and to some extent using the title is easier....

@Thatsgreat... are there any disadvantages to using the handle?

not-me · December 1, 2006

sorry someone but i got the same error when using ControlGetHandle.

DaleHohm i got the same error when i use IET2.0.6.au3

i dont know what is wrong with that

someone · December 1, 2006

You made me pull out my tunnel to get around the internet restriction.. I used this code and it works for me

#include <IE.au3>
$handle = ControlGetHandle ("Sign In", "", "")
$oIE = _IEAttach($handle, "HWND")
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "login")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwd")
$o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "SI")
$username = "your username here"
$password = "your password here"
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEAction ($o_signin, "click")

With IEAttach set up like it is, its looking for the www.hotmail.com page (see the Sign In title). Like was said before you dont' have to use handles, but for the sake of it I left it in to show it how it would work

not-me · December 1, 2006

Thank you someone, dont warry i will not tell your manager about what u did

i did the same before but i got error:

Line 2799 (C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 )

Return HWnd($o_object.HWND ())

Return ^ ERROR

can u give me the IE.au3 u used, it will be my last chance (i tired you)

Are you using the latest beta? I can tell you for a fact that it worked on my machine.... hmm. I'm confused... give us some more info, what ver of windows you are using.. and did you browse to the www.hotmail.com site BEFORE you ran the script? If not it wont' find any window with the title it is looking for.

not-me · December 1, 2006

This is the full code i used:

;#include <IE.au3>
#include<IET.au3>
   $title=WinGetTitle("")
   $handle = ControlGetHandle ($title, "", "") 
   $oIE = _IEAttach($handle, "HWND")
   $o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1")
   $o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "login")
   $o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwd")
   $o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "SI")
   $username = "your username here"
   $password = "your password here"
   _IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
   _IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
   _IEAction ($o_signin, "click")

I used $title=WinGetTitle("") to make it general to find the hotmail title in explorer or avant or maxthon

When i use #include <IE.au3> i got this error:

Line 2799 (C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 )

Return HWnd($o_object.HWND ())

Return ^ ERROR

When i use #include <IET.au3> ( i rename IET2.0.6.au3 to IET.au3 and put in the include folder) i got this error:

Line 285(C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IET.au3 )

Return HWnd($o_object.HWND ())

Return ^ ERROR

You know WinGetTitle is not just for IE right? If you have Scite open or something else if could be returning that as the window...

Lets just kinda take it from the top, and try to find out whats going on.

This code will launch a new window... but does it work for you?

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.hotmail.com")
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "login")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwd")
$o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "SI")
$username = "your username here"
$password = "your password here"
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEAction ($o_signin, "click")

Also double check you are using the latest beta ...and what is avant or maxthon?

EDIT - Sorry if that came off as harsh.. I've been trying to get something of my own... dont' worry we'll get it

I know that, i open the hotmail page before i run the script ,i used WinGetTitle to get the hotmail page title because it diff when i use IE,avant or maxthon (avant and maxthon are tabbed web browser,based on IE, have many features based on IE)

the normal hotmail login code work fine with me (but it open a new window for the hotmail page)

but when i use $oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.hotmail.com",1) to attach to an existing window i got an error.

That is my problem,anywhere i use attch i got error

This doesn't make sense - line 285 is in the middle of a comment block. Can you recheck what you are doing?

someone · December 1, 2006

I guess how you want to procede depends a little on how you want your scirpt to work. Are you basically trying to browse to www.hotmail.com, and manually press a button and have it login, or are you trying to have a button press navigate you on your current IE tab(or however avant does it) to www.hotmail.com and then log you in?

Does that make sense? Dale would know for sure but I don't believe you can have the $s_string field of _IEAttach be blank... at least it didn't work for me.

not-me · December 1, 2006

sorry DaleHohm the error in line 2850 not 285

someone,i want to open manually the hotmail (for example) then i press hotkey to run the script to put the username and password automatically.

The example script open the explorer (or open new tab) and then open the hotmail and fill the user and pass, all that done automatically

someone · December 1, 2006

Well this was a little more then I wanted to do... but Dale maybe you can shed some light on this. I couldn't seem to use IEattach with either text or title... I must have been doing something weird wrong. However I got it to work with handles. Heres the code

#include <IE.au3>

HotKeySet("{F7}","Hotmail")

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd


Func Hotmail()
$handle = WinGetHandle("")
$oIE = _IEAttach($handle, "HWND")
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.hotmail.com")
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "login")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwd")
$o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "SI")
$username = "your username here"
$password = "your password here"
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEAction ($o_signin, "click")
EndFunc

Just note not me the script doesn't exit automatically. But you can see I used WinGetHandle with no problems but with WinGetTitle or text it woudn't attach. Probably something I did wrong but at any rate this code works

If you want to change it so you browse to hotmail.com yourself just remove the _IEnavigate line

You'd have to tell me what you were trying to attach to, what code you tried and what the output to the SciTe console is.
