AutoIt using _IEFormElementGetCollection - javascript

I am trying to select a button and submit by index instead of by name in AutoIt. The reason why I can't use _IEFormElementGetObjByName is because there are two buttons on the page, and they both have the same name when I inspect element:
Button 1: <input type="submit" name="fsubmit" value="New Upload">"
Button 2: <input type="submit" name="fsubmit" value="Return to Login Page">
I need to differentiate between the two when selecting one or the other. I'm fairly sure I am supposed to be using _IEFormElementGetCollection to select the button by the form element index number. If there is another way that will work, I'm open to suggestions as well.
Thanks!
Edit: Here's what I ended up doing, it seems to work fairly well.
Local $oIE = _IEAttach("WEBSITE NAME")
Local $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
; _IEFormElementGetCollection 4 is New Upload, use caution!
Local $oSubmit = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, 4)
; Set to focus only for now, when ready to really upload, change "focus" to "click"
_IEAction($oSubmit, "focus")
_IELoadWait($oIE)

Most secure way in this situation will be,
Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
For $oInput In $oInputs
if $oInput.name == "fsubmit" And $oInput.value == "Return to Login Page" Then
; your code here
Endif
Next
Or, as you suggested,
_IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input", 1); returns second input

How to set a input text (with no ID or name) value with a subsequent submit of that input text?

I have been trying already all kind of code snippets in Chrome Dev tools on this website:
http://kiwisdr.sk3w.se:8073/?#
This is a software defined radio running on a webserver.
I would like to use Javascript to set the frequency (and submit) so that I can change the frequency the receiver is currently tuned to.
Manually on the GUI the user can just type a frequency (with or without enter) and the new frequeny inside the input box will be tuned.
This is the HTLM part of the website containing the input (no ID or name, so I am not sure how to properly adress this):
<form id="id-freq-form" name="form_freq" action="#" onsubmit="freqset_complete(0); return false;">
<input class="id-freq-input w3-input w3-border w3-hover-shadow" style="padding:0 4px;max-width:74px" size="8" onkeydown="freq_keydown(event)" onkeyup="freqset_keyup(this, event)" type="text" value="" onchange="w3_input_change('undefined', 'undefined')">
</form>
I managed to set the frequency, but I am stuck on how to make it submit.
This is the code I used to set the frequency input box to a certain value (1234.50):
targetForm = document.forms['form_freq'];
targetForm.elements[0].value = '1234.50';
I already tried to trigger the keydown, keyup or change events using some snippets I found, but I am not sure I adress the right elements in the form with it.
All I want to do is to mimic a user entry by code :-)
Could someone point me into the right direction by having a look on the way how the input works on this website and how I can make the website update the currently received frequency with javascript?
Thanks.
Short answer:
freqset_keyup(document.forms[1][0], null)
Nicer answer:
function change_freq(new_freq) {
var form = document.forms['form_freq'];
var freq_input = form.elements[0];
freq_input.value = new_freq;
freqset_keyup(freq_input, null);
}
change_freq(1234.50)

How to retrieve submit button with getElementsByTagName

I would like to get the a submit button using getElementsByTagName but I must be doing something wrong.
<p id="ptag">Want to find out if this works</p>
<button>The Button</button>
<form>
First name: <input type="text" name="firstname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="yes" value="yes">A checkbox<br>
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>
in the above HTML snippet, If I use the below function, getting the button works yet getting the submit button does not.
window.onload = theFunction;
function theFunction(){
document.getElementsByTagName("BUTTON")[0].setAttribute("onclick", "theOtherFunction()");
document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[3];.setAttribute("onclick", "theOtherFunction()");
}
What am I doing wrong?
function theOtherFunction(){
document.getElementById("ptag").style.color = "blue";
}
I added theOtherFunction() to my question because all my little experiment is doing is changing that <p> color to blue. With the button, it stays blue. With the submit button, it quickly turns blue and then goes back to black. What is the difference and how can I use the submit button to retain changes?
Take a look at your last line of code document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[3];.setAttribute("onclick", "theOtherFunction()");
There is a ; you don't want there right after the [3].
Hope this helps.
jQuery becomes very useful here
$('input[type="submit"]')
This will allow you to make html changes with immunity and support older browsers that still have 1% usage.
Your 2nd example should work without the ; in the middle of the line. However not all browsers support getElementsByTagName.
Update using no ready made libs.
If you are a build it yourself person, who wants to make his own lib.
function getElementsByAttrib(attrib) {
return document.querySelectorAll('[' + attrib + ']');
}
var elements = getElementsByAttrib('type="submit"');
MySubmit = elements[0]';
It's not practical to target/retrieve specific input elements with getElementsByTagName.
We gotta use the right tool for the right job and in this case it's the query selector like this...
var S=document.querySelectorAll('input[type=submit]');
S[0].style.background='red'; // do something to the first button
NB: Code above assumes you only have one submit button or you'll have to loop through the array "S" to target all submit buttons.

Homemade "Captcha" System - One minor glitch in javascript, can't enable submit button

So basically what I'm trying to do as a measure of security (and a learning process) is to my own "Capthca" system. What happens is I have twenty "label's" (only one shown below for brevity), each with an ID between 1 and 20. My javascript randomly picks one of these ID's and makes that picture show up as the security code. Each label has its own value which corresponds to the text of the captcha image.
Also, I have the submit button initially disabled.
What I need help with is figuring out how to enable the submit button once someone types in the proper value that matches the value listed in the HTML label element.
I've posted the user input value and the ID's value and even when they match the javascript won't enable the submit button.
I feel like this is a really really simple addition/fix. Help would be much much appreciated!!!
HTML code
<div class="security">
<label class="captcha enabled" id="1" value="324n48nv"><img src="images/security/1.png"></label>
</div>
<div id="contact-div-captcha-input" class="contact-div" >
<input class="field" name="human" placeholder="Decrypt the image text here">
</div>
<input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Send the form" disabled>
Javascript code
//Picks random image
function pictureSelector() {
var number = (Math.round(Math.random() * 20));
//Prevents zero from being randomly selected which would return an error
if (number === 0) {
number = 1;
};
console.log(number);
//Set the ID variable to select which image gets enabled
pictureID = ("#" + number);
//If the siblings have a class of enabled, remove it
$(pictureID).siblings().removeClass("enabled");
//Add the disabled class to all of the sibling elements so that just the selected ID image is showing
$(pictureID).siblings().addClass("disabled");
//Remove the disabled class from the selected ID
$(pictureID).removeClass("disabled");
//Add the enabled class to the selected ID
$(pictureID).addClass("enabled");
};
//Calls the pictureSelector function
pictureSelector();
//Gets the value of the picture value
var pictureValue = $(pictureID).attr("value");
console.log(pictureValue);
//Gets the value of the security input box as the user presses the keys and stores it as the variable inputValue
$("#contact-div-captcha-input input").keyup(function(){
var inputValue = $("#contact-div-captcha-input input").val();
console.log(inputValue);
});
console.log($("#contact-div-captcha-input input").val());
//Checks to see if the two values match
function equalCheck() {
//If they match, remove the disabled attribute from the submit button
if ($(pictureValue) == $("#contact-div-captcha-input input").val()) {
$("#submit").removeAttr("disabled");
}
};
equalCheck();
UPDATE
Fiddle here
UPDATE #2
$("#contact-div-captcha-input input").keyup(function(){
var inputValue = $("#contact-div-captcha-input input").val();
console.log(inputValue);
if (pictureValue === inputValue) {
$("#inputsubmit").removeAttr("disabled");
}
});
So I got it working 99.9%, now the only problem is that if someone were to backspace or delete the correct value they have inputted, the submit button does not then change back to disabled. Any pointers?
Known issue.
Give your button a name OTHER THAN submit. That name interferes with the form's submit.
EDIT
A link was requested for this -- I don't have a link for pure JavaScript, but the jQuery docs do mention this issue:
http://api.jquery.com/submit/
Forms and their child elements should not use input names or ids that
conflict with properties of a form, such as submit, length, or method.
Name conflicts can cause confusing failures. For a complete list of
rules and to check your markup for these problems, see DOMLint.
EDIT 2
http://jsfiddle.net/m55asd0v/
You had the CSS and JavaScript sections reversed. That code never ran in JSFiddle.
You never re-called equalCheck. I added a call to your keyUp handler.
For some reason you wrapped pictureValue inside a jQuery object as $(pictureValue) which couldn't have possibly done what you wanted.
Basic debugging 101:
A console.log inside of your equalCheck would have shown you that function was only called once.
A console log checking the values you were comparing would have shown
that you had the wrong value.
Basic attention to the weird highlighting inside of JSFiddle would have shown you had the code sections in the wrong categories.

Insert input if it does not exist

I am working on an email template editor where the user will select from a list of pre-existing templates and will be able to update the template as necessary. I had problems with using the CKEditor plugin across browsers and so I have attempted to create my own. When the user selects a template it opens in a modal window. To change the images I have included input tags which are removed upon close of the modal. This works so well and so good but if the user then wants to go back into the editor the input buttons are no longer there.
I want to add in the input button in the modal window if it does not exist. I have tried checking the length of the property but I am unable to return a value other than null whether it exists or not. My code is as follows:
function template1InputButtons() {
if ($("#imageInput1T1").length == 0) {
$('<input id="imageInput1T1" type="file" name="newImage1T1" onchange="previewImage1T1(this)" />').insertBefore('.article_media');
}
}
If I open it the first time the length comes up as one and so nothing is added as expected. If I remove and then click the button again length shows as 0 and input is added correctly as expected. If I then remove the input and click the button again the length comes up as 1 despite the control not existing.
Any ideas?
Try this:
function template1InputButtons() {
if (!$("#imageInput1T1")) {
$('<input id="imageInput1T1" type="file" name="newImage1T1" onchange="previewImage1T1(this)" />').insertBefore('.article_media');
}
}
and also assure that you have placed it inside ready function.
Try this:
if ($("body").find("#imageInput1T1").length == 0) {
$('<input id="imageInput1T1" type="file" name="newImage1T1" onchange="previewImage1T1(this)" />').insertBefore('.article_media');
}
Problem was a similar finding of class attribute article_media on the other modal my mistake thanks for the help anyway

Javascript won't update DOM on what appears to be recent Items

I'm using 100% pure javascript, tried Jquery but it didn't help. Code not working in FF/Chrome/Safari.
I have built Edit-In-Place functionality where when the user clicks "Edit" (calling external function with onclick - passing in item_id) -- a string of text is hidden to reveal an input with the same string of text in it. (by changing classes) "Edit" is also replaced by "Save". When done editing the string - the user clicks save, and everything reverts back to normal.
AJAX is processing all the updates - but commenting out the AJAX block does not fix it.
I am loading a stream of these objects. The javascript works for all of them - but only updates the DOM, visually anyway for what appears is items before the last 24 hours. The blocks themselves are identical. That is - items that have been added within the last 18-26 hours when I click "Edit", do nothing. BUT if I alert out the class of the element I want to edit it says "editing" (as opposed to "saved") like it is working. (see below) Although this change is never reflected in inspect element.
Code on Page
<input type="text" class="input_field" id="input_254" value="Foo" onkeydown="javascript: if (event.keyCode == 13) { update(254); }" style="display: none; ">
<span class="user_links" id="display_269" style="display:none;">Foo</span> //hidden span that holds the value and acts at the check
<span id="edit_state_269" class="saved" style="display: none;">Foo</span>
<span onclick="update(269)" id="edit_269">Edit</span>
External Javascript
function update(item_id) {
var links_span = document.getElementById('display_' + item_id);
var input_span = document.getElementById('input_' + item_id);
var string_old = document.getElementById('edit_state_' + item_id).innerHTML;
var state_check = document.getElementById('edit_state_' + item_id);
var edit_button = document.getElementById('edit_' + item_id);
if (state_check.getAttribute('class') == 'saved') {
// Hide the links display list and show the input field
links_span.style.display = 'none';
input_span.style.display = 'inline';
// Change the Edit button text and state_check
edit_button.innerHTML = 'Save';
state_check.setAttribute('class','editing');
//alert(state_check.getAttribute('class')); // this alerts "editing" although in DOM it is still "saved" on the blocks that are the problem
If any more details would be helpful - I will provide them.
It is a devil of a problem - with no obvious solution. Would really appreciate any direction you can give!
Solved. As usual it's the little things. The first few blocks were being loaded on page load - and then hidden as the user navigated resulting in duplicate IDs. Javascript naturally selected the one higher on the page - the one that was hidden.
