How to find the type of a IE form object?


Recommended Posts

Hello friends!

I haven't visited the forum for a long time. Hope everything is still running fine. Bad news is that I opened the forum because I have a problem :)

I want to find out what type is a IE form object and more specific I want to know if it is a input text field.

Fore example

$ob=_IEGetObjById($ie, "someid")
and I want to know if $ob is a input text field.

Thank you for your time!

Have a nice day!

I ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more.

$sType = $ob.type

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?

Hi Dale!

Happy to see you again

I already tried that and here's what I got

(15) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.: 
$f=_IEGetObjById($ie, "someid")
MsgBox(0, "asds", $f.name);this works
MsgBox(0, "asds", $f.type) 
MsgBox(0, "asds", $f.type^ ERROR

I ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more.

The it is likely you are being fooled by the object you are referencing. Do some troubleshooting like this:

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
$ob=_IEGetObjById($ie, "someid")
ConsoleWrite(ObjName($ob) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite(_IEPropertyGet($ob, "outerhtml") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($ob.type)
