Hello,

i'm using a tool which is very tricky.

In fact, it creates it's own webpages so some boxes to fill will have allways the same id, but a different name each time (with rand number inside) which is difficult to me ...

<INPUT id=fakeName name=##0!3!simpleSearch!1247629!*:):*!$1!1!">

I tried this code

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById ($oIE, "fakeName")

_IEFormElementSetValue ($oDiv, "hi_there")

but it wont work, i dont know how to solve it ...

(in fact i used to work with fixed names and forms :

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, $form)

$oText = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, $var_name)

_IEFormElementSetValue ($oText, $value)

but i dont have forms now)

Thanks in advance

Mr Pook

Is it an INPUT element or a DIV?

If it is a DIV you can use _IEPropertySet($oDIV, "innertext", new-string)

If it is an INPUT element, it is important to know what the TYPE= value is

the element seems to be a INPUT only : i just make some simplifications in the code generated and here it is :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html><head><title>Rechercher</title>

<tr><td class="lr1">Nom:</td><td class="lr2"><INPUT id = "fakeName" TYPE="text" NAME="##0!3!com.enterprise.search:simpleFrame.simpleSearch!1595423!property.fakeName" VALUE=""></td><td class="lr1">Numéro:</td><td class="lr2"><INPUT id = "fakeNumber" TYPE="text" NAME="##0!3!com.enterprise.search:simpleFrame.simpleSearch!property.fakeNumber" VALUE=""></td></tr>

</body></html>

as you can see, ids are pretty simple, but NAMES aren't at all (and i cut most part of them)

thanx in advance for your help

With this HTML, the code in your basenote should work... unless there are other elements on the page that also have an id="fakeName". If this is the case, the DOM will be confused because it requires that ID's are unique. You can still work around that by using _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input", 0-based-index).
