NOTE: MY STACK OVERFLOW QUESTION HERE ALSO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36162810/autoit-firefox-automation-ffclick-doesnt-work-on-buttons-anymore-ff-au3 Help! I had AutoIt code that would do the following: 1. load a page in FireFox, then 2. click on the 'browse' button, then 3. waits for the File Upload window to appear This code worked great and I used it many times! Now, about a month later, it stopped working. I checked the HTML page and it did NOT change, and the id is the same. Here are some resources: _FFOpenURL _FFLoadWait _FFClick WinWaitActive ControlClick Full list of FF.au3 functions Here is the HTML that I am trying to access. I am trying to click on #filename     <fieldset>         <legend>Import step one: upload Word Document</legend>         <h2>Import Word Document: Upload</h2>         <div class="field-group">              <div class="checkbox/radio">                   <label for="filename">Upload:</label>                   <input id="filename" name="filename" size="50" "="" type="file">              </div>          </div>          <input class="text hidden" name="pageId" value="158367782">           <div class="buttons-container">                <div class="buttons">                     <span class="word-file-loading hidden" id="loading">Loading</span>                     <input disabled="disabled" id="next" name="submit" value="Next" class="button" type="submit">                </div>           </div>     </fieldset> Here's my simplified AutoIt code that should press the #filename button:     ; 1) OPEN THE PAGE (WORKS) (I changed the URL)         _FFOpenURL("http://..../")     ; 2) WAIT FOR PAGE TO LOAD (WORKS)         _FFLoadWait()     ; 3) SLEEP FOR 5 SECONDS (WORKS)         Sleep(5000)     ; 4) CLICK THE BROWSE BUTTON (FAILS)     ;    (SAYS IT IS A SUCCESS BUT THE BUTTON NEVER GETS PRESSED!!)         _FFClick("filename", "id")     ; 5) WAIT FOR "FILE UPLOAD" WINDOW TO APPEAR (FAILS)     ;    (FAILS BECAUSE BUTTON NEVER GOT PRESSED ABOVE)         Local $result = WinWaitActive("File Upload","",10)  Here is my full autoit code that should press the #filename button:     ; 1) OPEN THE PAGE (WORKS)         If _FFOpenURL("http://..../") Then             FileWrite($log,"[INFO] Opened Page successfully." & @CRLF)         Else            FileWrite($log,"[ERROR] Could not open Page." & @error & " Extended Error Code = " & @extended  & @CRLF)            MsgBox(0, "Error", "Could not open Page.")            Exit         EndIf     ; 2) WAIT FOR PAGE TO LOAD (WORKS)         If _FFLoadWait() Then             FileWrite($log,"[INFO] Waited to open page successfully." & @CRLF)         Else             FileWrite($log,"[ERROR] Could not wait for Page." & @error & " Extended Error Code = " & @extended  & @CRLF)             MsgBox(0, "Error", "Could not wait for Page.")             Exit         EndIf     ; 3) SLEEP FOR 5 SECONDS          Sleep(5000)     ; 4) CLICK THE BROWSE BUTTON      ;    (SAYS IT IS A SUCCESS BUT THE BUTTON NEVER GETS PRESSED!!)         ;Click the "Choose File" button         If _FFClick("filename", "id") Then             FileWrite($log,"[INFO] Clicked the 'browse' button successfully." & @CRLF)         Else             FileWrite($log,"[ERROR] Could not click the 'browse' button." & @error & " Extended Error Code = " & @extended  & @CRLF)             MsgBox(0, "Error", "Could not click the 'browse' button.")             Exit         EndIf     ; 5) WAIT FOR "FILE UPLOAD" WINDOW TO APPEAR     ;    (FAILS BECAUSE BUTTON NEVER GOT PRESSED ABOVE)         ;Wait for the file upload dialog to appear         Local $result = WinWaitActive("File Upload","",10) ;Wait 10 seconds for "File Upload" window to appear         If $result == 0 Then            FileWrite($log,"[ERROR] Waited for 'File Upload' to show, but it never did.

Yeah, that's true. Didn't think about that! I'll give it a try, thanks

Hi! I'm trying to rename "Excel Filter (JIRA).xls" to "JiraTickets.xls". When I use FileMove or FileCopy, it creates two files: Excel Filter (JIRA).xls, size 1627 KB. JiraTickets.xls, size 0 KB. Here's my code (I comment out one at a time): ;Rename "Excel Filter (JIRA).xls" to "JiraTickets.xls" ;Try #1 FileCopy ( "K:\systems\Generic Systems\SSI&Tools\Simulation\KPIs\KPIs_Current\Excel Filter (JIRA).xls", "K:\systems\Generic Systems\SSI&Tools\Simulation\KPIs\KPIs_Current\JiraTickets.xls", $FC_OVERWRITE) ;Rename "Excel Filter (JIRA).xls" to "JiraTickets.xls" ;Try #2 FileMove ( "K:\systems\Generic Systems\SSI&Tools\Simulation\KPIs\KPIs_Current\Excel Filter (JIRA).xls", "K:\systems\Generic Systems\SSI&Tools\Simulation\KPIs\KPIs_Current\JiraTickets.xls", $FC_OVERWRITE) It gets saved into the right folder, but "JiraTickets.xls" is always blank. I delete it before trying to start the script again. See anything I'm doing wrong?
