Yikes - others may be willing to respond to your stream of questions, but I say please work through some of the examples in the helpfile first and then come back with more informed questions.

yes, like DaleHohm suggested you should do some examples that are under _IE.... tabs, couse it's not easy to work with IE commands (not for me at least )

and on forums the "Post new topic" button it's within a form, so if i recall correctly you have to give the forms name where the link it's located

Ok Maybe I'll just focus on one part.

Ok the Example given for _IEFormSubmit and _IEFormGetObjByName .

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.google.com")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f")
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "q")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery, "AutoIt IE.au3")
_IEFormSubmit ($oForm)

I don't _IEFormGetObjByName.

Where's it get getting "f"?

I know "f" is the "Specifies the name of the Form you wish to match" But where did it get the name f?

[Valuater]

<form action="/search" name=f>

The last statement from above ^

you can right-click on that page "google.com" and select view source

Ok so _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "q")

Does:

<input maxlength=2048 name=q size=55 title="Google Search" value="">

and

_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery, "AutoIt IE.au3")

Puts autoit Ie.au3 in the search input bar

and _IEFormSubmit ($oForm) submits it for searching?

So for this:

td>User Name: </td>
<td><input type="text" name="User" value="" size="25"></td>
<tr>
<td>Password: </td>
<td><input type="password" name="Password" value="" size="25"></td>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td colspan=""><input type="submit" name="Login" value="Login"></td>

I would do something like this?

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("The URL")
$oFormUser = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oIE, "User")
$oFormPass = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oIE, "Password")
$oFormLogin = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "Login")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oFormUser, "MyUsername")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oFormPass, "MyPass")
_IEFormSubmit ($oFormLogin)

This works... example

; Log into Hotmail

#include <IE.au3>

; Create a browser window and navigate to hotmail
$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.hotmail.com")

; get pointers to the login form and username and password fields
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f1")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "login")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "passwd")

; Set field values and submit the form
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_login, "your username here")
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_password, "your password here")
Sleep(2000)
_IEFormSubmit($o_form)

Exit
