Using multiple combox in IE

[Ram]

Hi,

I have a page that has multiple combo box and text box. Now I also have a excel file that has the details that needs to be selected and entered to the combo box and text box respectively. I am able to enter data to the text box but i don't know how to go about selecting the combo box according to the data in the excel file...

Here is an eg:

Data for combox in excel file:

England

India

USA

USSR

The same is there in the webpage.

Now I want select the above to reflect in the webpage. How do I go about doing this?

This is what I tried:

#include <ie.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.leoastro.com/mat_frm.htm")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "matching")
$oSelect = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "bcountry")
_IEFormElementOptionselect($oSelect, "Australia", 1, "byText")

but it gave me the below error:

--> IE.au3 Warning from function _IEFormGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

--> IE.au3 Error from function _IEFormElementGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_InvalidDataType

--> IE.au3 Error from function _IEFormElementOptionselect, $_IEStatus_InvalidDataType

Can you tell me what is wrong in my code? I have attached the source file too?

Awaiting your response!

Thanks!

There is a Frameset on that page. You'll need to use _IEFrame* functions to drill to the correct frame first.

P.S. Regarding _IEFormElementOptionselect -- please execute the examples in the helpfile for this function -- one of the three examples there will match your scenario.

I tried _IEFormElementOptionselect .. but gave out error I have also pasted the error too. I think you posted this message when I was editting the topic.

Regarding Frameset I did get the right page which is 'matching'.. but no luck?

Wooo I got it right.. As you said the problem was in the frameset. I actually didn't declare the frameset and hence was not able to get the data selection correctly.. Now it works...!!

Thanks Dale for the help!!
