You haven't told us what isn't working as expected. Run your code in Scite and post the contents of the Output panel.

what output I have to get if I have an element I wanna set its value, not get a value ?

the HTML code I've posted is from the dashboard of wordpress.

I make an automatic post  publishing but I need to set tags for the post before publishing

I understand that you want to set the value of the input field. But you haven't provided enough information for us to help you.

As requested previously, please run your code in Scite and post the contents of the Output panel. Also, provide the URL of the site if possible.

[AlienStar]

there is no output or errors !

when I run the code it opens the page to post and do nothing for tags textarea !

I set the topic title by this :

    Local $title = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "title")
    Local $ttlcntnt = FileReadLine($files[$i], 1)
    _IEFormElementSetValue($title, $ttlcntnt)

and it works well 

here is the part of html code which I depend on.

<div id="titlewrap">
        <label class="screen-reader-text" id="title-prompt-text" for="title">write title here</label>
    <input type="text" name="post_title" size="30" value="" id="title" spellcheck="true" autocomplete="off" />
</div>

but when I try to do for tags by the same way it failed 

[Danp2]

Sorry, but my crystal ball is currently in the shop.

[AlienStar]

excuse me but really I don't know what output I have to send 

here is my full code 

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>
#include <array.au3>
#Include <File.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

local $files = _FileListToArrayRec(@ScriptDir, "*.txt", $FLTAR_FILES, $FLTAR_RECUR, $FLTAR_SORT)

for $i = 1 to UBound($files)-1
    
    ;post topic content via url bellow 
    Local $content = FileRead($files[$i])
    ;------------------------------------------------
    Local $url = "https://engnajjar.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?content="&_URIEncode($content)
    Local $oIE =_IECreate($url)
    ;------------------------------------------------
    _IELoadWait($oIE)
    ;------------------------------------------------
    Local $title = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "title")
    Local $ttlcntnt = FileReadLine($files[$i], 1)
    if StringLen($ttlcntnt)=0 Then
        $ttlcntnt = FileReadLine($files[$i], 2)
    EndIf
    _IEFormElementSetValue($title, $ttlcntnt)
    ;------------------------------------------------
    ; here choose the category checkbox
    Local $chkbx = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "in-popular-category-5")
    _IEAction($chkbx, "click")
    ;------------------------------------------------
    ;here I wanna set tags
    Local $oTag = _IEGetObjById($oIE,"new-tag-post_tag")
    _IEFormElementSetValue($oTag, "cars")
    ;------------------------------------------------
    ; here is publish button 
    Local $oSubmit = _IEGetObjById($oIE,"publish")
    _IEAction($oSubmit, "click")
    ;------------------------------------------------
    _IELoadWait($oIE)
    ;------------------------------------------------
    _IEQuit($oIE)
    ProcessClose("iexplore.exe")
next

all the code works but the tags not 

thats all I can send you

[Danp2]

@AlienStar Do you see an "Add" button next to the Tags input element? If so, have you tried clicking it in your script?

P.S. You can press the F8 key in Scite to toggle the display of the Output panel. I would expect to see something like the following when you run your script --

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\AutoIt3.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.au3" /run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "C:\test5.au3" /UserParams

Not sure that it would make any difference, but is there a reason you aren't running a more recent version of Autoit?

Also, please answer my earlier question.

yeah I see but can't because it has no ID

Well, AFAIK it won't work without clicking the button. You can either --

• Use _IETagNameGetCollection to retrieve all Input elements and then traverse the collection of elements until you find the desired one (lots of examples of this on the forum)
• Use IEbyXPATH to retrieve the desired element
• Come up with another solution on your own.
