_IE help

[narayanjr]

$oIE = _IECreate ("https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/collectorszone.cgi")

$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm, 0)
$oForm2 = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
$oQuery2 = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm2, 1)

_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery, "acct")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery2, "pass")
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

all of that works so far it opens up the page and enters acct and password and hits the login button

but then the page changes and i need to send text to one more form then hit 1 more button but how do i change $oIE without using _IECreate?

This is the first time using _IE functions so if im just asking a really stupid questions point me to the right file in the help file. Thanks

Suggest you simply add an _IELoadWait($oIE) to the end of your script to insure that the document load is complete and then continue on using $oIE

$oIE in actuality points to the browser shell that contains the document and the _IE functions automatically drill down to the embedded document as necessary, so even when the document and url change you are still all set. It's one of the design features of IE.au3 that saves you lots and lots of code.

Thank You, I understand that part now, but I am still having problems with this thing.

#include <IE.au3> 

$oIE = _IECreate("https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/collectorszone.cgi")
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm, 0)
$oForm2 = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
$oQuery2 = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm2, 1)

_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery, "acct")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery2, "pass")
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)
_IELoadWait($oIE)

$oForm3 = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
$oQuery3 = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm3, 0)

_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery3, "File.Filet")
_IEFormSubmit($oForm3)
_IELoadWait($oIE)

I need it to send text to the Red boxed place then click the Green boxed place

But i cant seem to get any of the indexes right so it always either just writes the text to one of the buttons on the page or does nothing.

I really need help with it, It is really starting to make me mad that I cant get this thing to work properly.

Thanks

Make sure you run your code in SciTe and then carefully look at the console output... it tries really hard to help you find your own issues.

--> IE.au3 Error from function _IEFormElementSetValue, $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType (Browser securuty prevents SetValue of TYPE=FILE)

thats what it said as one of the lines, i guess that means its not possible?

[DaleHohm]

It's in the docs man... take a look at the remarks for _IEFormElementSetValue
