Hi Everyone,by coderaven at 2012-11-16 07:58:54
This is both my first post on PowerShell.org as well as first time using PowerShell. I’m currently trying to figure out how to automate a web login process and have hit a roadblock. I have searched the form the closest related post
'http://powershell.org/discuss/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=592&p=2303&hilit=html+form#'p2303 Its similar issue but slightly different as the submit button for the form is a image.
I am currently trying to automate a login via IE.
Here is a link to the webpage: https://fiaegus.markit.com/egus/auth/login.jsp
I can fill in the username and password fields with the following logic:
[code2=powershell]Import-Module C:\Users\A\Desktop\WASP\WASP.dll
$username = 'username'
$password = 'password'
$IEProcess = Select-Window -Title "FIA Electronic Give-Up System Login*"
$ie = new-object -com InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.navigate("https://fiaegus.markit.com/")
do {sleep 1} until (-not ($ie.Busy))
$ie.visible = $true
$usernameField = $doc.getElementById('username')
$usernameField.value = $username
$passwordField = $doc.getElementById('password')
$passwordField.value = $password
$IEProcess | Send-Keys "{Enter}"[/code2]
Login button is stored as a image and doesn’t have element id or tag name I can use to identify the button. So I tried to use the Select-Title and then Send Keys approach but nothing happens. I suspect I need to tweak the Select Window but not sure. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? If so, any suggestions would be appreciated. I’m just spinning my wheels at this point
I have not looked at the page but I have done this a few times and I think you want to look for the submit function of the form that contains the username and password fields. The image button is just calling that function.by AA2012 at 2012-11-16 15:02:46
You were correct. This ended up being what worked for me, $doc.getElementById(‘loginForm’).submit().
Thanks for your help.
