IIRC, IE does not let you populate a file (upload) box via scripting through the Document object. You will likely need to break out of the IE object for that portion of the sccript and use "standard" AutoIT techniques.

Thanks, your answer is correct. The OP re-asked the question in V3 Support and I answered him here... I asked him to come back here and edit the quistion above with a pointer to the new topic, but he did not do so.

I've toyed around with IE.au3 a bit, it's pretty interesting. But it can't help me as of yet, I need it to read text within a frame that does NOT exist in the body of the source.

What I'm doing is making a game bot which can run a game minimized, I've managed to do it quite successfully with mouseclick simulation, copying and reading text and other clever techniques, but I was hoping for something that could read the text and search for certain strings without manipulating the mouse/keyboard.

I don't know how possible it would be to do this, or if there is already a way, but I would love to see this!

[DaleHohm]

@Diverge -- can you please move your question to the V4 Support forum... this thread is too long to work point-specific issues.

Yes, it's designed to do exactly that. It'll do certain things, like trigger on responces. Say for example, it recognizes text that displays that I have gained a level. It will trigger the level function, then resume with the script.

*edit*

You edited your above post, which was origionally asking me a question =P

@pacman1176

Sounds like you need to get a reference to an individual frame and then look at the body of the document included in the frame.

Please move any further discussion to the V3 Support forum as this thread is tool long to discuss point-issues.

thanks,

Dale

You're missing my point, the text isn't located within the body of the html. It's based on javascript which creates a changing interface. But I didn't think this could be done, sigh.

I'm guessing that you haven't actually tried reading the document body. The DOM doesn't care whether the content came from the original file on the server, whether it was generated by Javascript or whatever other creative means -- it simply gives you what you ask for based on the rendered content in the browser.

Dale,

Have you looked into the new patch that Microsoft is going to release next Tuesday? it is going to totally Fu&# with IE automation by disabling all ActiveX controls by default.

Apparently you can activate the ActiveX controls programatically by using the command Here: MSDN Link

More information Here: MSDN Link 2

Info on the Hotfix that is going to be in the IE rollup next week is Here: IE Update

Mike

[DaleHohm]

Thanks for the heads up Mike. I don't anticipate any problems however. Neither IE.au3 nor AutoIt directly use the affected mechanisms:

After a forthcoming update, Microsoft Internet Explorer users will not be able to directly interact with Microsoft ActiveX controls loaded by the APPLET, EMBED, or OBJECT elements. Users will be able to interact with such controls after activating their user interfaces. A new MSDN topic describes how Internet Explorer will handle ActiveX controls, shows how to load ActiveX controls so their interfaces are activated, and describes the impact of this behavior on accessibility tools and applications hosting the WebBrowser Control.

Well i have problems with trying to login on php webpages like :

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...t=Login&CODE=00

and

http://www.gfxintervention.com/forums/logi...e611380bd37047a

is it me or aren't we able to do that with IE.au3 atm ???

[GodandRock]

Hey I gotta tell you, awsome job man, this is GREAT! Anyways, I got a problem. I was trying to automate a hotmail action and it wouldn't work. I'm sorry if you already covered this problem, because I only read your first few posts to learn from the examples.

I'm trying to automate a send email task and heres my code so far.

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>

; Create a browser window and navigate to hotmail
$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.hotmail.com")

; get pointers to the login form and username and password fields
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f1")
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "login")
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "passwd")

; Set field values and submit the form
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_login, "MY EMAIL")
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_password, "MY PW")
_IEFormSubmit($o_form)

_IELoadWait($oIE)

_IEClickLinkByText ($oIE, "New Message")

_IELoadWait($oIE)



$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "composeform")

$o_to = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "to")
$o_subject = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "subject")
$o_outgoingemail = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "outgoing")


_IEFormElementSetValue($o_to, "EMAIL HERE")
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_subject, "SUBJECT HERE")
_IEFormElementSetValue($o_outgoingemail, "CONTENTS HERE")


;_IEClickLinkByText ($oIE, "Send")

;_IELoadWait($oIE)

;_IEQuit($oIE)

MsgBox(0, "", "done!")

Btw I modified some info, such as my email and pw. Now, the problem I am having is with the email contents. I watch it sign me in, go to compose new message. Then it inputs the email im sending to, then it inputs the subject. But it doesn't input the contents of the email. I think I may have gotten the wrong source. The following code is the source from the composition page.

}
function window.document.composeform.to.onkeydown() 
{
return SetFocus();
}
function window.document.composeform.cc.onkeydown() 
{
return SetFocus();
}
function window.document.composeform.bcc.onkeydown() 
{
return SetFocus();
}
function window.document.composeform.subject.onkeydown() 
{
return SetFocus();
}
function window.document.composeform.outgoing.onkeydown() 
{
return SetFocus();
}       
function SetFocus() 
{

As you can see, I used the Form Objects and the Elements from there. They work perfectly for the subject and the email, but it doesn't work for the actual contents. It doesn't display anything. Can someone tell me what would be the correct source to put in there to make it so that it puts text in the email contents area?

@GodandRock

The message area is not a form element, but rather an iframe.

Give this a try and open a topic in V3 support if you need more assistance.

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName( $oIE, "richedit")
_IEBodyWriteHTML( $oFrame, "here is my message text")

Dale

[GodandRock]

It didn't work, Scite gives me this error:

C:\Documents and Settings\Minhaj & Jaudat\Desktop\AutoIt Scripts\IE.au3 (441) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.: 
If IsObj($o_object.document.parentwindow.frames ($s_name, $i_index)) Then 
If ^ ERROR

I did beta run and it gives an error due to the line:

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName( $oIE, "richedit")

Can you help me out? That line shows up fine on syntax check but it gives an error while running.

[DaleHohm]

With the Compose message page displayed, this worked fine for me:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IEAttach("Hotmail")
$oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName( $oIE, "richedit")
_IEBodyWriteHTML( $oFrame, "here is my message text")

Please

Give this a try and open a topic in V3 support if you need more assistance.

This thread is too long to work point issues.

Hi @ all,

i have a little question. Does anyone know how i can use this "onclick" action?

<input type="image" onclick="this.form.wui_event_id.value='onclick';this.form.wui_target_id.value='sendButton';this.form.submit();return false;" src="https://www.orange.ch/static/portal/images/send.de.gif" alt="senden" name="sendButton"/>

I tried with _IEFormSubmit($o_form) but won't work :-S

Thanks a lot,

Regads
