Problems with _IEGetObjByName

[jlorenz1]

Hallo,

I got the object by name of the webpage http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Hochladen , but I've difficulties to change the fields.

Only description works correctly. The Webpage has a SUBMIT-Button.

If you want to see the website, you must log in as autoit with the password autoit.

In the attachement I send you the source code of this webpage. For finding

the elements faster, which I wants to change, go on search and look for 'autoit'. I've tagged a commentary there.

Thanks Jo

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ('http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Hochladen')

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, 'Upload')
;Resultats document:7;wpupload:7,Upload:0
MsgBox(4096,'successful?',@error, 2)

$oQuery1 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, 'wpDestFile')
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery1, 'another-named-a.gif')

$oQuery2 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, 'wpUploadFile')
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery2, 'd:\a.gif')

$oQuery3 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, 'wpUploadDescription')
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery3, 'my file description')

; attention: wpLicense is a combobox , Wanted: Value ='Bild-PD-alt'
$oQuery4 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, 'wpLicense')
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery4, 'Bild-PD-alt')

; attention: this is a checkbox, which should be activated
$oQuery5 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, 'wpWatchthis')
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery5, 'false')
_IEFormSubmit ($oForm)

I don't see where you use _IEGetObjByName anywhere in that code.

What line causes the error?

Where is it you say you need to login? I went to that site and saw no username or password fields.

Please show the output in the SciTe console.

Hi Dale,

thanks for your intention to help me. In the attachment you find a screenshot and source code with Scite.

Go on http:\\de.wikipedia.org on the top on the right side you'll see ANMELDEN

click this and you 'll log in with 'autoit' and the password 'autoit'. Don't forget to activate the checkbox. Submit and go on

HOCHLADEN at the the left side in the center or type http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Hochladen and you will be there.

I'll try to help the others ... Thanks

There is some sort of page redirect occuring here. After logging in, the page load completes on de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Anmelden&action=submitlogin&type=login&returnto=Spezial:Hochladen -- this page does not include a form named "upload". After a few seconds it redirects to de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Hochladen -- which DOES have a form named "upload" (note it is lower case).

So, you need to check to insure that the redirect has occurred and completed before checking the page. You also should make the case match on the form ID as noted above.

Hi Dale, use 'Upload' like written. This is the newest try of me. I can change only

the field wpUploadDescription. In some cases I get the return value of 0, but nothing

happens. Strange... Johannes

Hi Dale & all the others,

only O N E F I E L D don't work. It is this one.

The source code of the problem in HTML is:

<!--  I tried to change these following elements  - keyword: autoit   //-->
            <td align='right' valign='top'><label for='wpUploadFile'>Quelldatei:</label></td>
            <td align='left'>
                <input tabindex='1' type='file' name='wpUploadFile' id='wpUploadFile' onchange='fillDestFilename("wpUploadFile")' size='40' /><input type='hidden' name='wpSourceType' value='file' />
            </td>

This is the last version of my script:

This is the last version of my script:

The field is an INPUT TYPE=FILE element. Using the latest IE.au3 you should be getting the following diagnostic to the SciTe console:

--> IE.au3 Error from function _IEFormElementSetValue, $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType (Browser securuty prevents SetValue of TYPE=FILE)

You cannot set this field value directly with script. Please see the remarks for _IEFormElementSetValue for comments and a workaround.

Hi Dale,

thanks for your patience - it was my first script in this way. Johannes
