IE Input Type

[Thatsgreat2345]

This doesn't seem to want to work if anyone has some input as to why it only displays hidden, and then just quits and errors out. So it is able to grab the first just not the rest xD

If it doesn't load, just remove the wait, add a sleep then do it.

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?act=Login&CODE=00")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE,'LOGIN')
$oEles = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm)

For $oEle In $oEles
    MsgBox(0,'',$oEle.Type)
Next

Odd. The DOM thinks the second element is a FieldSet

Check this out:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?act=Login&CODE=00")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE,'LOGIN')
$oEles = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm)

For $oEle In $oEles
    consolewrite(_IEPropertyGet($oEle,"outerhtml") & @cr)
    consolewrite($oEle.Type & @cr)
Next

Gotcha, will just have to go manual parsing from here on out. I am dumbfounded as to why it isn't working. I really need this since I'm making an auto-poster for every type of forum so if elements aren't named correctly got to get them based on type. Thanks for the help.

This is the first time I've seen this. It is not the documented behavior.

_IEFormElementGetCollection uses the Form.elements collection:

This collection can contain any combination of the button, input, select, and textArea objects. For compatibility with existing Web content, however, input type=image objects are excluded.

There are several ways to easily work around this however. You can check the .tagName property of the element prior to trying to use .type or you can use _IEErrorHandlerRegister to prevent the invalid property reference from being fatal and check @error after the .type reference.
