Hi, I am trying to log into live.com using AutoIt. There are several examples, but none of them work with the current webpage. This is my code (because the username and password are not valid ;-) , I comment the "button click" out.): #include <IE.au3> Local $oIE = _IECreate("live.com") _IELoadWait ($oIE) _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Sign in") $o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "f1") $o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "loginfmt") $o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "passwd") $o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_form, "idSIButton9") $username = "test@hotmail.com" $password = "testpassword" _IEAction ($o_login, "focus") _IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username) _IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password) ;_IEAction ($o_signin, "click") When I run the code I get the following: The value being set is garbeled with "PlaceholderText". Because of this, the username and password are invalid. Here screenhot of the placeholders text: When you start typing in one of the fields, the placeholder text is automatically deleted. When you set a value it stays. I found a workaround, to set focus on the element and send the username as an keyboard input to the field, but I would like a clean solution based on variables. So, does anyone now how to do this?

This app will beep once when an email arrives in the web version outlook.com ( formerly hotmail and live.com ) It will make a noise when the email title contains the search text. Instructions : login to your outlook.com in Internet explorer (IE).& press the GO button. v2 just checks email title & moves mouse every 20 secs to stop screen saver.. - no longer available (use v7 below) v7 will can check email body, email title and email from address if required. This version requires you to turn on the outlook.com email preview pane. The programs help explains more. OutlookDotComCheckerV7.au3
