need help - ebay script

[speedi]

The script below is my effort to search for something on ebay. "dell notebook"

The 1st section with msgbox is just to give me the form name. ie. "headerSearch"

I never see the "dell notebook" in the ebay search field... WHAT am I doing wrong???

************************************

#include <IE.au3>

$Search = "dell notebook"

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.ebay.com/")

_IELoadWait ($oIE)

$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)

$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)

MsgBox(0, "Forms Info", "There are " & @extended & " forms on this page")

For $oForm In $oForms

MsgBox(0, "Form Info", $oForm.name)

Next

$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)

$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "headerSearch")

_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery, $Search)

_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

_IELoadWait ($oIE)
