Using IE.au3 and _IEGetObjByname() and _IEFormElementSetValue()

darcaro · October 26, 2009

Hello - I am trying to use these functions to automatically login to a javascript website. With many other pages, the IE.au3 has worked perfectly, but for some reason, it is not working with this page. I think it has something to do with frames and tables but I do not know enough about it to get it to work. The actual page is pasted below, I am trying to populate txtUserID - if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be really great

<HEAD>

<title>

ADP ezLaborManager - Login

</title>

<!--

function doSubmit(evt, id)

{

evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);

if(evt.keyCode == 13)

{

document.getElementById(id).focus();

document.getElementById(id).click();

}

function performonload()

{

document.forms[0].txtUserID.focus();

}

function CreateBookmarkLink()

{

var title = "";

var url = "";

if (window.sidebar)

{

// Mozilla Firefox Bookmark

window.sidebar.addPanel(title, "","");

}

else if( window.external )

{

// IE Favorite

window.external.AddFavorite( url, title);

}

theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");

theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;

theform.submit();

There is some complex Javascript at play here. There are scripts missing from your snapshot above however:

<INPUT onkeydown="doSubmit(event,'btnLogin_active');" id=txtUserID maxLength=25 name=txtUserID autocomplete="false">

function doSubmit(evt, id)
{
evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);
if(evt.keyCode == 13)
{
document.getElementById(id).focus();
document.getElementById(id).click();
}
}

There are scripts missing from your snapshot above however:

<script language="javascript" src="/ezLaborManagerNet/js/commonpagefunctions.js?16_4"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="/ezLaborManagerNet/js/pagedirty.js?16_4"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="/ezLaborManagerNet/js/GlobalStrings_en-US.js?16_4"></script>

that make it behave differently, because this works with your code locally:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IEAttach("ADP")
$oUserId = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "txtUserID")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oUserId, "test")

That is great Dale, thanks so much for your input - are you saying that I may not be able to automate logging into this page? I'm not sure if it helps, but there is a preliminary page that launches prior to this one, where the user has to click a url - that one i can get past with _ielinkclickbytext

DaleHohm · October 26, 2009

It is almost always possible... but you may need to dig through it all to figure out what must be done.

darcaro · October 26, 2009

Without sounding like too much of a pain (or too much of a moron!) .....could you give me an idea of where you would start? I'm really new to this, so digging through it would be nearly impossible for me. thanks for all your help!

DaleHohm · October 28, 2009

I'm sorry. Then this is not the project for you to start on. You'll need someone locally who is experienced with Javascript to assist/teach you or get a book and pick some easier projects to build up your chops first.
