Entering text into a web form (Easy for most people I bet)

Post by diamondrail » Sun Sep 29, 2019 8:19 am

For some reason, it's not working for me.
I have tried using the IE Element Wizard and I get an error on that code line.

I want to enter text into this field: http://prntscr.com/pcdz1g then press next. (The pressing next part works). But for some reason when I cannot get the IE element to work for this field.

Secondly, if I use the IE Form Fill function for this problem (Can I?) If I can, how/where do I find the info (IE reference, frame, etc.... ) to fill out the info in the macro scheduler?....

Thanks for the help!

It seems like a not very well designed site. What's the purpose of using it, to screen shot a whole web page? If so, then I suggest you use phantomJS or HTMLtoPDF (this one also handles PNG).

Yes I understand but what do you need the website in the first place? What is it that you are trying to do with the site? Is it something that could be done using a offline tool is my question.

Just entering information into forms and then uploading a classified ad (online).
