GerryIT Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Hi, I'm trying to select an item in a dropdown box but when I submit the form, seems like the item is not selected although it appeared in the box. Here is the html code of the form: <input type="hidden" id="pstad-loctnid" name="postAdForm.locationId" value="80002"/> <li> <a name="postAdForm.location"></a> <label for="locationLevel0" class="add-asterisk">Ville :</label> <div class="form-section"> <select id="locationLevel0" name="locationLevel0" req="req" class="locationSelector "> <option value="">----------</option> <option value="1700278"> Laval / Rive-Nord</option> <option value="1700279"> Longueuil / Rive-Sud</option> <option value="1700280"> Ouest de l'île</option> <option value="1700281"> Ville de Montréal</option> </select> <div class="field-message" data-for="locationLevel0"></div> <p class="message">Veuillez sélectionner votre emplacement ou un lieu près de chez vous.</p> </div> </li> ; And here is the script code I'm using: Sleep(1000) $oIEDoc = $oIE.Document $oIEBody = $oIEDoc.body $selects = $oIEBody.GetElementsByTagname("select") $numofselects = $selects.length For $r = 0 To $numofinputs - 1 $myobj = $selects.item($r) If $myobj.id = "locationLevel0" And $myobj.name="locationLevel0" Then _IEAction($myobj, "focus") $myobj.value = "1700281" ExitLoop EndIf Next ; The "Ville de Montréal" option appears in the box but when I submit the form, I get a message that it's missing this information. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks
Dent Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Try putting $myobj.value = "1700281" before the "focus" and changing "focus" to "click". If that doesn't work add a "click" after the "focus" Edited May 29, 2016 by Dent

GerryIT Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Sorry mLipok, Tried you solution, it does the same as my original scrtipt.

GerryIT Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Tried adding the ", 0" at the end of the line and it does the same thing. Added the form's photos before, during and after submit...
GerryIT Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Dent, sorry but it does the same as my original script. It does changes the selection box from "--------" to "Ville de Montréal" but we I click submit, the form returns with the same filled form and a top section showing a message stating to correct errors on the page and lower it says "You have not finished filling the form".
MichaelHB Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Can you share the URL or all the HTML? Remeber to post the code in tags <> (just click in this symbol <> when posting).
GerryIT Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 After the submit and the return of the form with the error message, the dropdown selection box is back to "--------" as if nothing was ever selected.
GerryIT Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 This is the URL: https://www.kijiji.ca/p-post-ad.html?categoryId=214
GerryIT Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 An here is the full script to test the form. While the script starts entering fields, scroll down mid page to see the city selection of "Ville de Montréal". After the script ends, click on the button: "Afficher votre annonce". You should get the page coming back filled with the error and the city being back to "--------".

GerryIT Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 MichaelHB, you found my solution with : input type="hidden" id="pstad-loctnid" which I overlooked. The script you wrote works fine as it is. I do not get the error : error "Une erreur est survenue lors de l'affichage de votre annonce. Veuillez contact le Service à la clientèle." Thanks very much for your precious help. GerryIT Dent 1
