Login - Form Element Help

[MazeMiami]

Ok so I'm a complete noob, i been working with auto it for like 8 hours now and I'm now trying to get a script that will log me into a site. I used the search button and have read 100 post just like this one and i am still unable to get the thing to work .. i even downloaded Firefox Web developer add on as suggested here still no luck.

I'm using code that is found in the auto it help documentation

#include <IE.au3>


; Create a browser window and navigate to hotmail
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://forums.digitalpoint.com/")

; get pointers to the login form and username, password and signin fields
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "login")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwd")
$o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "SI")

$username = "workdarnyou"
$password = "your password here"

; Set field values and submit the form
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEAction ($o_signin, "click")

i have tried to input ever forum element i see and none work

Try my password manager that's in my sig. If all you want to do is login I highly suggest it for doing so.

I also provide the source to it. So feel free to paw through it and figure out how I do it or how you may fix yours

The form has no name so you need to use _IEFormGetCollection. The FireFox tool is fine, I use DebugBar to get the username field name is vb_login_username, password is vb_login_password. Try

$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
$oUname = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "vblogin_username")
$oUpword = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "vblogin_password")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oUname, "username")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oPword, "password")
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

If you're just trying to log in, wouldn't a user-like way of doing this be easier?

Like this:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://forums.digitalpoint.com/")
Send ("{TAB}")
Send ("{TAB}")
Sleep (500) 
Send ("USERNAME")
Send ("{TAB}")
Send ("PASSWORD")
Send ("{ENTER}")

(Working example)

here what i did still no luck .. loving this shit even though it's kicking my ass

#include <IE.au3>


; Create a browser window and navigate to hotmail
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://forums.digitalpoint.com/")

; get pointers to the login form and username, password and signin fields
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "vblogin_username")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "vblogin_password")
$oForm = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "SI")

$username = "workdarnyou"
$password = "your password here"

; Set field values and submit the form
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

also not clear what the 0 does in ($oIE,0)

_IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)

same goes for"SI" in ($oForm, "SI")

$oForm = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "SI")

something about return values maybe ? not clear on this

i was able to to get this baby to work !! thanks so much i'm sure i'll have 98084 more questions!

working code

#include <IE.au3>


; Create a browser window and navigate to hotmail
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://forums.digitalpoint.com/")

; -Get pointers to the login form and username, password and signin fields-

;_IEFormGetCollection:
; Returns a collection object variable representing the Forms in the document or a single form by index.
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0) 

;_IEFormElementGetObjByName:
; Returns an object reference to a Form Element by name.
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "navbar_username") 
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "navbar_password")


$username = "xxxxxx"
$password = "xxxxxx"


; -Set field values and submit the form-

;_IEFormElementSetValue
;Set the value of a specified Form Element.
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username) 
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)

;_IEFormSubmit:
;Submit a specified Form.
;_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

i added what each function does so i would understand how it worked with out looking back at the help document each time, looks silly but helped me
