_IEFormElementGetObjByName() Returning Invlalid Object

[Matthew]

The msgbox() function shows that I am getting error #4 (Invalid Object Type) from the line that just preceeds it. The _IEFormGetObjByName() line works just fine.

Any help/advice is grandly appreciated..

#include <IE.au3>

$ie = _IECreate()

sleep(1000)

_IENavigate($ie,"http://my.wsu.edu")

WinSetState("Internet Explorer","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

$form = _IEFormGetObjByName($ie,"aspnetForm")

$login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($ie,"ctl00$ITSTemplateContentPlaceHolder$Username")

msgbox(0,"ERROR","Error #: " & @error)

$password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($ie,"ctl00$ITSTemplateContentPlaceHolder$Password")

$submit = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($ie,"ctl00$ITSTemplateContentPlaceHolder$UsernamePasswordButton")

When you say "The _IEFormGetObjByName() line works just fine" how do you know this?

First, _IEFormElementGetObjByName takes a form object, not an IE object, so the first parameter should be $form instead of $ie - this explains the invalid object type message. If you run this from SciTe (press F5 or Tools -> Go) you should see diagnostics written to the console.

Second, the names you are using for the elements are similar to what I see on the form, but not exactly the same... you may want to double check them.
