For some reason I can't get this to submit.

here is the script I'm using:

#include <IE.au3>

$o_IE = _IECreate ()

_IENavigate ($o_IE, "http://htbackdrops.com/")

sleep(5000)

; get pointers to the login form and username and password fields

$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($o_IE, "custom_search")

$o_search = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "search")

; Set field values and submit the form

_IEFormElementSetValue($o_search, "some band")

sleep(500)

_IEFormSubmit($o_form)

Here is the form source:

<form method="post" action="thumbnails.php" name="custom_search">

<input type="text" name="search" maxlength="255" value="" class="textinput" />

<input type="submit" value="Search" class="button" />

<input type="hidden" name="album" value="search" />

<input type="hidden" name="title" value="1" />

<input type="hidden" name="caption" value="1" />

<input type="hidden" name="keywords" value="1" />

<input type="hidden" name="owner_name" value="1" />

<input type="hidden" name="filename" value="1" />

<input type="hidden" name="type" value="AND" />

</form>

"some band" is entered, but the form isn't submitted. Any idea?

Please read the "Remarks" for _IEFormSubmit in the helpfile.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Read the remarks in the help file under _IEFormSubmit(). Get an object reference (i.e. $oButton) to the "Search" button and use _IEAction($oButton, "click") on it.

:)

Edit: Oops. Didn't see Dale was already there.

Thank you both for pointing me in the right direction. I was able to use:

$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName($o_form, "Search")

_IEAction ($oSubmit, "focus")

ControlSend($o_IE, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{Enter}")
