GetElementByID and Java

M40wen · Feb 16th 2016

Hi All,

Hopefully someone can point out an error I have made. I am trying to input into a web based system called ResourceLink by NorthGate. I looked into the code and thought I could input by ID, but it isn't playing ball. Anyone know what code I should use to input -

HTML

<INPUT id=proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText class="proiv-fixed-SingleLineTextFocus proiv-SingleLineTextFocus" style="TEXT-DECORATION: ; HEIGHT: 22px; WIDTH: 106px; COLOR: ; TEXT-ALIGN: left; LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: block; TOP: 0px; VISIBILITY: inherit" value="" autoComplete="false">

I thought this would work but doesn't do anything. Ive done this before so scratching my head at why this wont input the value as 66666

Code

IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText").Value = "66666"

Re: GetElementByID and Java

The ID should be in quotes, the HTML looks wrong to me.

Is it part of a form? might be easier to get the inputs within the form and iterate over those.

Hello,

Thanks for quick response. Yes it is a webbased program using IE which appears to build up a form, but the fact it has "id" made me think I could use those directly. Ive taken a snapshot as the quotes keep dropping.

This is at the edge of my knowledge really and was hoping it would be just a typo I have done!

Will just add in the screenshot I typed in abcd - the code should type this field as 66666.

Re: GetElementByID and Java

Have you tried using .outerText instead of .Value?

Tried:-

Code

IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText").outerText = "66666"
    
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText").outerHTML = "66666"
    
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText").innerHTML = "66666"
    
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText").Text = "66666"
    
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText").innerText = "66666"


  IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText")(1).Value = "66666"
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText")(2).Value = "66666"
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText")(3).Value = "66666"
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText")(4).Value = "66666"
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText")(5).Value = "66666"
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText")(6).Value = "66666"
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText")(7).Value = "66666"
    
      
    IE.Document.getElementById("proiv_MD33S1-PostNumberText").getElementsByTagName("input")(0).Value = "66666"

Display More

There is a pop up which works so abit stumped on the above?

Code

With IE.Document
        .getElementById("dijit_form_Button_11").Click
    End With
