_IEGetObjByName/_IEGetObjById

[nonplayablecharacter]

1.)im working using _IEGetObjByName/_IEGetObjById commands. The only problem is I need to get obj by value if possible...so i want to know if possible to get by value? Or any other method?

example: <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE='Swing By'>

2.)Also whenever i try using "ControlSend" on IE it won't work minimized...can anyone tell me if there is another way to do commands on a minimized IE screen? I'm trying to send text to a control with focus on it already. Is there a way to just send text to a minimized window, i dun think controls have a name

3.)Last how can i work with the following(which _IE commands can i use to set the "option value")

<select name='selectExample'>

<option value='homepage.html'>Homepage

<option value='midipage.html'>Midipage

<option value='freepage.html'>Freepage

</select>

Use _IETagNameGetCollection() to get all INPUT tags and then loop through the collection looking for .value = 'Swing By'.

The _IE* functions will work on a minimized or even hidden instance of IE. ControlSend() should work also, but will not target a form element as a control in IE. If you can't make it work, post an example of what you are trying to do.

C'mon now, you didn't look at the help file very hard, did you? Try _IEFormElementOptionselect() before you attract the attention of "Community On Patrol"...
