Quick question about a function

[erbailey]

I was reading through and decided to download the AutoIt123 by Valuater. First off, this is awesome, Ive learned more in the last 15 minutes than I have trying to write my own scripts. Thank you so much for your support.

I have a question about the _IEFormGetObjByName function...

Here is an example $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f")

The only part I am having a difficult time understanding is the "f" portion of this that is in red.

I read the help on this and still don't understand what it is, how you come up with this value etc... can someone explain this to me?

From the helpfile-

Returns an object reference to a Form by name.

#include <IE.au3>

_IEFormGetObjByName ( $o_object, $s_name [, $i_index = 0])

Parameters

$o_object Object variable of an InternetExplorer.Application, Window or Frame object

$s_name Name of the Form you wish to match

$i_index Optional: If the Form name occurs more than once, specify which instance you want by 0-based index

so the 'f' is the "Name of the Form you wish to match "

In the HTML source for the page you would see <form name="f">

The IEBuilder (also by Valuater) will help you find object names as will several other tools you'll see in my sig.
