VbScript to FWH translation ( login to a website follow up )

[Rick Lipkin]

To All

I have been working on a Vbscript to login to a website, pass a login and click a submit button. I have successfully completed a working script I now wish to translate to xHarbour and FWH.

Here is the Vbscript code .. I have searched the forum and see where you can use active x and James posted some code to my above previous thread .. my problem now is to be able to navigate the site using the DOM id's or name of the fields I wish to populate .. logins and searches for parts .. etc

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply .. and your code works with the following modifications to insert my credentials into the DOM fields 'login' and 'passwd' ..

However, once I get the automated login .. the page changes to my e-mail and I want to insert some 'text' into the search which has a DOM name of 'query'.

I realize the IE page and IE object has now changed and as you see I have attempted a EI:Refresh() .. but that does not seem to refresh the object holding the DOM .. and when I reference the search ( dom name is 'query' ) I get a run-time error on line 31 class: NIL meaning the dom name I am referencing does not exist ( see screen shot of the DOM )

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try this way

Code: Select all  Expand view

Try
 IE:Document:getElementsByName("UIFrame"):contentWindow:document: ( way frame and form here ) :getElementsByName("fieldname"):Item(0):Value = "rick"
Catch
 MsgInfo("It's Fail ...")
End

You mentioned ( way frame and form ) .. I guess you meant the entire UIFrame line in the DOM inspector .. hi-lited in the screen shot and in the code below ?

If so .. the code did not work see the following error... did I not interpret your suggestion correctly ?

Thanks

How you see. the search of Live.com is a FRAME, so you need set value to object inside of frame. and not set to 'query'.

you need get object inside of frame to set value. and later send a submit to form inside of frame.

I appreciate your help and advice .. I was able to get the DOM inside the search field and I tried it with the entire line including the iframe as well as just the id without success ..

Included is the DOM of the frame and the second is the DOM of the inside of the frame .. any ideas on what I should reference in my code .. as you can see I have tried several DOM strings ?

I'll do test and report my result for you.

Cya.

Thank you for your help .. I am thinking it might be a refresh issue with the IE object .. As the page changes perhaps the IE object needs to be refreshed somehow so the DOM can be addressed correctly.

Rick,

What you want do ? a outlook ?

[Rick Lipkin]

What I am ultimately trying to accomplish is to be able to login to a part vendors website and search for an item and return the results.

The first part of that is almost done .. I am just having problems with the DOM object ID which you should be able to reference by GetElementByID as in this code .. however, I can never seem to get that method to work either for a field or a control ..

Code: Select all  Expand view

//----------------------------
Static Func Ebay()
Local IE, WshShell, fields, button

IE       := CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
WshShell := CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

IE:Visible := .t.
IE:Navigate( "http://www.ebay.com/" )

Do While IE:Busy
   SysWait(1)
   SysRefresh() // To Refresh
   Loop
Enddo

buttons := nil
fields  := nil

fields  := IE:Document:getElementsByName("_nkw")
buttons := IE:Document:getElementById("ghSearch")

try
   fields[0]:value = "HMDX-GO"
   SysReFresh()
catch
   Msginfo("Could not find DOM element '_nkw'")
   IE:Quit()
   return(nil)
end try

try
   buttons[0]:click()
   SysReFresh()
catch
   Msginfo("Could not find DOM element 'ghSearch'")
   IE:Quit()
   return(nil)
end try

SysWait(2)

// use this to force an enter key for search button
*WshShell:SendKeys( "{Enter}" )

Return Nil
 

In the above example the id ghSearch is in the DOM .. but the GetElementByID method fails and I have had to resort to the work around by forcing a keystroke

// use this to force an enter key for search button
*WshShell:SendKeys( "{Enter}" )

to activate the search button control ..






It seams with all my tests with various websites including BestBuy .. even the GetElementByName for button controls either fail or do not work as in this example

Code: Select all  Expand view

Static Func BestBuy()
Local IE, WshShell,field1,buttons

IE       := CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
WshShell := CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

IE:Visible := .t.
IE:Navigate( "http://www.bestbuy.com/" )

Do While IE:Busy
   SysWait(1)
   SysRefresh() // To Refresh
   Loop
Enddo

field1  := ie:document:getelementsbyname("st")
buttons := ie:document:getelementsbyname("goButton")

try
   field1[0]:value = "computers"
   SysReFresh()
catch
   Msginfo("Could not find DOM element 'st'")
   IE:Quit()
   return(nil)
end try

try
   buttons[0]:click()
   SysReFresh()
catch
   Msginfo("Could not find DOM element 'goButton'")
   IE:Quit()
   return(nil)
end try


SysWait(2)
//WshShell:SendKeys( "{Enter}" )

Return Nil
 

Feel free to cut, paste and compile the above examples and you can test the results for yourself ..

Any advice or help would be appreciated.
