<TD class=input>max frame rate (fps)

<INPUT id=OidTB1.2.31 onchange=setEcam(this)

value=5.00 size=8 name=OidTB1.2.31></TD>

$osps = _IETagnameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
For $osp in $osps
    If String($osp.name) = "OidTB1.2.31" Then
        
        _IEFormElementSetValue($osp, "5.00") --->> this gets set
        Sleep(6000)
        _IEFormElementSetValue($osp, "10.00") --->>this doesn't get set and I get the error below
        Sleep(5000)
        ExitLoop
        
    EndIf
Next

Console output

--> IE.au3 V2.3-1 Error from function _IEFormElementSetValue, $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType

what am I doing wrong?? I basically want to loop through 0 to 20.

try

$i = 0
$osps = _IETagnameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
For $osp in $osps
    If String($osp.name) = "OidTB1.2.31"  and $i < 21 Then
        
        _IEFormElementSetValue($osp, "5.00")
        Sleep(6000)
        _IEFormElementSetValue($osp, "10.00") 
        Sleep(5000)
       $i += 1
    Else
              exitloop
    EndIf
Next

torels, tried your suggestion but got same error...Something to do with name/id

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\Helpfile\iqtest.au3 (444) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:

If String($osp.name) = "OidTB1.2.31" and $i < 21 Then

If String($osp.name^ ERROR

[diikee]

$ofps = _IETagnameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
For $spt = 5 to 60 Step 10
    For $ofp in $ofps
        If String($ofp.name) = "OidTB1.2.31" Then
            _IEFormElementSetValue($ofp, $spt) --->(5 gets set but not 15)
            Sleep(6000)
            ExitLoop -->Exits successfully without iterating from 5 to 60
            _IEFormElementSetValue($ofp, "unlimited") --> This never gets executed
        EndIf
    Next
Next

Can someone see what I am doing wrong or missing??

What happens in the intervening six seconds? Does the page change? If so, the $osp object reference may not be valid any more. If a script action occurs on detecting the first entry, it may recreate the element, which would again invalidate the old object reference.

If the above is true, you will have to re-acquire the object reference each time you want to set the value.

[diikee]

Even though the object reference might change due to the onchange() script, the id or name doesn't change and it should be able to re-acquire automatically.

look at this

Sleep(2000)
$lg = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "SELECT")
For $l in $ag 
    If String($l.name) = "OidSB1.2.30" Then
        _IEFormElementOptionselect($l, "4x", 1, "byText") [color="#0000FF"]--->Gets set ok[/color]
        Sleep(6000)
    EndIf
Next
Sleep(2000)
$lg = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "SELECT")
For $l in $ag 
    If String($l.name) = "OidSB1.2.30" Then [color="#FF0000"]----->>Errors out here[/color]
        
        _IEFormElementOptionselect($l, "disabled", 1, "byText")
        Sleep(3000)
    EndIf
Next
Sleep(2000)

8 seconds is long enough for it to reacquire the reference object??

No, it doesn't. Even if the exact same page gets reloaded, it will have all new object references to the DOM, forms, elements, etc.

look at this

Sleep(2000)
$lg = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "SELECT")
For $l in $ag 
    If String($l.name) = "OidSB1.2.30" Then
        _IEFormElementOptionselect($l, "4x", 1, "byText") [color="#0000FF"]--->Gets set ok[/color]
        Sleep(6000)
    EndIf
Next
Sleep(2000)
$lg = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "SELECT")
For $l in $ag 
    If String($l.name) = "OidSB1.2.30" Then [color="#FF0000"]----->>Errors out here[/color]
        
        _IEFormElementOptionselect($l, "disabled", 1, "byText")
        Sleep(3000)
    EndIf
Next
Sleep(2000)

There is no "reacquire" if the page is reloaded. If the page is not reloaded then it's not an issue to begin with.

Is "SELECT" a valid tag? Are you getting a valid collection back? Put some error checking on your collection object before you use it.

Also, you have two collections made to $lg, then you use $ag in the For/In/Next loop? Is that a typo?

[diikee]

I looked into the script and realized that I kept iterating through the <For Loop>, added an <Exit Loop> before the EndIf and everything is working okay.

thanks, for the insight.
