IE.au3 error on _IEFormGetCollection

pkoppelaar · January 30, 2007

Script.

#include <IE.au3> 

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

$ie = _IECreate("http://0.0.0.0/en/l4/cs_system_ini.html")

; Login as admin
WinWaitActive("Connect to 0.0.0.0")
Send("admin{TAB}admin{ENTER}")

$form = _IEGetObjByName ($ie, "form")
$inputbox = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($form, "SetFileName")

_IEFormElementSetValue($inputbox, "C:\file.cfg")

_IEFormSubmit($form)
_IELoadWait($ie)
_IEQuit($ie)

; Finished!

Without the ErrorHandlerRegister, this is what the log says:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (2399) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.: 
Return $o_object.document 
Return $o_object.document^ ERROR

With the handler it says this:

There are lots of sources of trouble in the scenario you have here.

First, having anything with a name of "form" or any other TagName is likely to throw the DOM for a loop -- this has nothing to do with AutoIt or IE.au3, it is just a very bad idea. You'll need to use _IEFormGetCollection instead of _IEFormGetObjByName and get the form reference by index instead of by name.

Second, the form element you are trying to set the value for is type=file -- security restrictions prevent you from doing this in script. This is documented with suggested workaround in the helpfile. See the remarks in _IEFormElementSetValue.

This doesn't work...

I'm guessing that entering admin admin with the Send command is causing a change to the page (refresh, new location, something). Likely assing an _IELoadWait($ie) after the Send command will get you going. Also, it looks like the form index you want is 3 rather than 0.

Thanks for your help man! Another problem is that every once in a while the script hangs when the Connect to ... popup is visible and credentials need to be entered. I think it has something to do with the WinWait command. I couldn't test your remarks yet 'cause of that just now.

Edit: Hmm, when I open up the SciTE help the script suddenly continues!... Any idea what might cause this?

When running the script with _IELoadWait($ie) I get the following error:

--> IE.au3 Error from function _IELoadWait, $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType

He mean

#include <IE.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

$ie = _IECreate("http://0.0.0.0/en/l4/cs_system_ini.html")

; Login as admin
WinWaitActive("Connect to 0.0.0.0")
Send("admin{TAB}admin{ENTER}")

_IELoadWait[$ie]
$form = _IEGetObjByName ($ie, "form")
$inputbox = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($form, "SetFileName")


_IEFormElementSetValue($inputbox, "C:\file.cfg")

_IEFormSubmit($form)
_IELoadWait($ie)
_IEQuit($ie)

; Finished!

Shevilie's reply should help you with the console error.

Regarding the stall, this has been discussed several times in the forum. It has to do with the interaction of the embedded script in the browser - for example, See discussion here
