_IEFormGetObjByName()

[Hello Me You]

This is my first script with IE. (I want to login in a site)

I searched the html of the page but can't find the _IEFormGetObjByName("name of the form").

Is the form name located anywhere specific in the source?

Oh, and the site is http://www.noeman.org/gsm/

Thanks if you can find the name for me.

Here is my source that I am working on:

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.noeman.org/gsm/")

_IELoadWait($oIE)

$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "i need the name")
$o_username = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "vb_login_username")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "vb_login_password")

_IEFormElementSetValue($o_username, "my user name")
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_password, "my password")

_IEFormSubmit($o_form)

That form does not have a name. As you can see in the source below "<!-- login form -->", it only has action, method and onsubmit values.

If you are the owner of that bulletin board, or know the owner of that bulletin board, you should change the login template through the vB Admin CP and include a name with the form.

Alternatively you could count how much times you need to press the TAB key to get to the the username field. Then use the Send command to send that amount of tabs. Then also use that command to enter the username and password for you and press the enter key to submit the form.

Edit: I just noticed that the username field has accesskey "u" set. So if you send a ALT+U keystroke simulation, the cursor will automatically jump to the username field. This should do the trick then:

Send("!uusername{TAB}password{ENTER}")

The IE.au3 way of getting a reference to a form without a name is using _IEFormGetCollection and use the index parameter. Forms have a source-order index starting with 0.

I have checked it. With firefox when you right-click on a page and click Page Info, it shows the forms. But this fool form does not have a name. Any suggestion?

Give this a try......

#include <IE.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister("MyErrFunc")
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.noeman.org/gsm/")

_IELoadWait($oIE)

$o_form = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)   ;document.forms.item(0)   <----- referance of the form indexed based
$Username = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form,"vb_login_username")
$Password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form,"vb_login_password")

_IEFormElementSetValue($Username,"Hasher")
_IEFormElementSetValue($Password,"123456")
Sleep(10000)
_IEFormSubmit($o_form)
