It's a good teaching style to have if people have plenty of time to spend working on code. I personally learn best through example and a quick explanation, and then I know how to convert that to what I need in a particular case.

What's getting me right now is just doing an automatic tweet on twitter. The box is "<div id="tweet-box-mini-home-profile" class="tweet-box rich-editor notie" contenteditable="true" aria-multiline="true" role="textbox" spellcheck="true" aria-labelledby="tweet-box-mini-home-profile-label" dir="ltr" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="typeahead-dropdown-4"></div>"

Using the iWB2 Learner tool, it returned to me the bolded. How do I go about targeting this? I'm at wb.document.all.tweet_box_mini_home_profile.value := Test Tweet which does not work. I found that AHK does not accept - in the class name, so I tried just replacing them with underscores. I can launch the script, but it runs into an error when it tries to search it on the webpage - of course because there is no field by that particular name with underscores.

If I use the name as is:

---------------------------
Anarchy Sophisticated.ahk
---------------------------
Error at line 8.

Line Text: wb.document.all.tweet-box-mini-home-profile.value := "Test Tweet"
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.

The program will exit.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Hi,

I having trouble with this. I started off well but know I'm stuck. I am trying to automate this page. It loads as an about:blank page after firing off a javascript function on another page. I don't know if about:blank pages need to be treated differently. I tried saving the html to file and loading that but I still couldn't read, set values or fire off any javascripts on it.

here is the html with javascript stripped out...

<HTML><HEAD>
</script><title>Zoom to Coordinate</title><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="RightWebMap.css"><body><div id="content"><h3>Zoom to Coordinate</h3><form action="#" name="zoomForm" id="zoomForm"><table><tr><td><strong>Type:</strong></td><td><select name="ZoomType" id="ZoomType" onChange="setDegree(this.value)"></select><span id="degreeExample"></span></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Window:</strong></td><td><select name="zoomWindow" id="zoomWindow" onChange="setWindowTypeParameters(this.value);"></select></td></tr><tr><td id="useCurrentText"></td><td id="scaleText"></td></tr><tr><td id="zoneText"><td></td></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><table><tr><td></td><td id="nwCorner"><strong>North-West Corner</strong></td><td></td><td id="seCorner"><strong>South-East Corner</strong></td></tr><tr><td id="longText">Longitude</td><td><input type="text" name="longValue" size="10" value=""></td><td id="longText2">Longitude</td><td id="longText2Form"><input type="text" name="longValue2" size="10" value=""></td></tr><tr><td id="latText">Latitude</td><td><input type="text" name="latValue" size="10" value=""></td><td id="latText2">Latitude</td><td id="latText2Form"><input type="text" name="latValue2" size="10" value=""></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td><input type="button" name="Submit" value="Zoom" onClick="rZoomCoordinates.zoom()"></td><td><input type="reset" value="Reset" onClick="setDegree();setWindowTypeParameters(0);"></td></tr></table></form></div><br><div id="controlBottom" style="position:absolute; bottom: 10px;left: 10px;"></div> </body></html>

I have tried setting values...

wb := IEGet("Zoom to Coordinate")
wb.document.getElementsByName("longValue")[0].value := "1234"

I have tried ...

wb.document.all.longValue.Value := "1234512345"

and countless others. But nothing works on this page.

I would greatly appreciate any help. I would really like to get this to work.

Mike

Edit/ Apologies if this was the wrong place for this. I later thought it more appropriate under the support forum. Anyhow I solved my problem and managed to avoid needing to automate any of the web page referenced in this post.

Hi!

I'm trying to fill submit registration form one site: https://www.gmailbox.org/signUp, below is my code:

Username := "RandomUsername"
FirstName := "RandomFirstName"
LastName := "RandomLastName"
Password := "RandomPassword"
Email := "[email protected]"
If !IsObject(ie)
    ie := ComObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible := true
ie.Navigate("https://www.gmailbox.org/signUp")
While !(ie.busy)
    Sleep, 100
While (ie.busy)
    Sleep, 100
While !(ie.document.Readystate = "Complete")
    Sleep, 100
ie.document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[0].Value := Username
ie.document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[1].Value := FirstName
ie.document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[2].Value := LastName
ie.document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[3].Value := Password
ie.document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[4].Value := Password
ie.document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[5].Value := Email
ie.document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[7].Checked := 1
ie.document.getElementsByTagName("BUTTON")[2].Click()
While !(ie.busy)
    Sleep, 100
While (ie.busy)
    Sleep, 100
While !(ie.document.Readystate = "Complete")
    Sleep, 100

After submiting form it tells me that form fields are empty:

Is there a function, that i should run after filling forms?

(sorry for my english)

Hi. I'm very new to AHK, so my apologies if this is a stupid question.

I am trying to learn how to control web pages with AHK, so I'm very interested this subject matter. However, I'd like to make sure this is the right place for me to start.

My questions:

As this tutorial is a couple years old, is it still relevant to the most recent version of IE?
Will this help me if I want to use Firefox or Chrome instead of IE? Or is this only relevant to IE?

Thank you.

Yes its still relevant.

No! This is only for IE but it may help you later if you like to learn to use COM with other programs that also support it.

Hi,

While browsing this topic, I tried to control some java application inside internet explorer we use at work. I got stuck at the beginning of the search using IWB2 learner as the getElementById of the inputbox I wanted to populate changed at each page reload.

Finally I found one description that stayed the same : found using the "show parent structure of the iwb2 learner. There is one DIV id="form.param.socialPrestProfIncomes_control"

The code from the webpage:

PARENT: <div class="v-filterselect v-widget v-has-width v-filterselect-prompt" id="form.param.socialPrestProfIncomes_control" role="combobox" style="width: 100%;">

Child : <input style="width: 100%;" id="gwt-uid-332" class="v-filterselect-input" tabIndex="0" aria-labelledby="gwt-uid-331" type="text"><div aria-hidden="true" class="v-filterselect-button" role="button"></div>

Can someone tell me which code I should use to insert a value in this "child"field for which the id change all the time but not the parent id?

Many Thanks,

Lobo.

the all property is no longer supported in IE11

and drop down selection don't work for me

maybe somebody can solve this problem:

...

wb.document.GetElementById("level1-option").selectedIndex="kunstantiek"

...

this is what I got from the website:

<label for="level1-option" class="has-hidden-label">Afdeling</label>

<option value="">Kies afdeling</option>

<option value="kunstantiek"

data-href="/callback/discovery/kunstantiek/">Antiek & Art</option>

<option ....

more Likly to be an eventlistner event not being fired.

Also in your example in the post before you use an = but you need to use an := to make it work and select index needs a number not a string to set the option with a string you need to set the value of the select element

it's selecting now but it doesn't change to that option it stays the same but when I open it you can see it selected another option

I don't understand WHYY

EDIT: well, I fixed it but still programming shouldn't be so complex

<a class="example" >

It depends on what your really try to do...

Do you already have an element or are you looking for an element with that attribute

already have:

msgbox % Element.classname

find element:

wb := WBGet()
links := wb.document.links
loop % links.length
{
    if (links[A_index-1].href = "http://www.google.com")
    {
        links[A_index-1].click()
        break
    }
}
return


WBGet(WinTitle="ahk_class IEFrame", Svr#=1) {               ;// based on ComObjQuery docs
   static msg := DllCall("RegisterWindowMessage", "str", "WM_HTML_GETOBJECT")
        , IID := "{0002DF05-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"   ;// IID_IWebBrowserApp
;//     , IID := "{332C4427-26CB-11D0-B483-00C04FD90119}"   ;// IID_IHTMLWindow2
   SendMessage msg, 0, 0, Internet Explorer_Server%Svr#%, %WinTitle%
   if (ErrorLevel != "FAIL") {
      lResult:=ErrorLevel, VarSetCapacity(GUID,16,0)
      if DllCall("ole32\CLSIDFromString", "wstr","{332C4425-26CB-11D0-B483-00C04FD90119}", "ptr",&GUID) >= 0 {
         DllCall("oleacc\ObjectFromLresult", "ptr",lResult, "ptr",&GUID, "ptr",0, "ptr*",pdoc)
         return ComObj(9,ComObjQuery(pdoc,IID,IID),1), ObjRelease(pdoc)
      }
   }
}

But to really help you, I need better info...
