Hello.
What is the function for scanning text box name? I mean if I have some type website with a form opened, I want .ahk to scan for text box name and if it finds the needed one, fills in information. |

The name of a textbox?
| Code: | WinGetActiveTitle,Name
MsgBox,%Name% ;Displays the "name" of the textbox/window that is active |
If this isn't what you want then please repost and be clear.

Let's take this forums "reply to thread" page. There is Subject text box. I guess, its name in source code is "Subject". So I need an .ahk script, that finds this text box, places cursor and types "Help me" or something.
Edit: but first script checks if this window is active and if it is not, makes it active. I saw function about active windows, that won't be a problem. |

@ Ace Coder
The key lies here:

The standard AHK controls will not work to identify text boxes in a website, that requires COM (and Internet Explorer).
@ wedegnar
As mentioned above, in order to utilize AHK in any meaningful way in this instance you'll have to use COM, which will also require your browser to be Internet Explorer. The first post in this thread will supply you with a link to our web recorder, which is in development, a link to the iWeb functions, which are (to date) the simplest implementation of COM for use with Internet Explorer, and a link to a tutorial by jethrow for understanding web page structure and how COM can work with a web page. There are other tutorials in the forums as well, but these are the primary source of information to do what you want to do.
Download the recorder and the iWeb functions, read the tutorial and give it a try.

| Thank you, sinkfaze and Ace. I don't like using IE, but I will give it a try just for education, because I made another autofiller using {TAB} specifically for one website. |
