Automatically Fill in fields in IE w/ VBScript

[lyric0n]

I know how to have VBScript open IE and navigate to a specific page, but I am having problems controlling the fields because they do not have id tags associated with the fields. The page I am looking at is...

https://www.dyndns.com/account/services/hosts/dyndns/blah.ath.cx

I need to fill in the Username, Password and then click the login button.

If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it, thanks,
Chris

Let oie be the IWebBrowser(2) instantiated and navigated to the page in question. As to the page, its forms, totally 3, has not been assigned a name that you should assign, I would use the index herein, though, for illustration.

Suppose you want to submit the account login form (the 3rd) form, you can do this. (uncomment the line to submit).
[tt]
with oie.document.forms(2)
.username.value="abc"
.password.value="#3c!1a@2b"
[blue]'[/blue].submit
end with
[/tt]

I can't seem to get this working...I've tried a few different things, but doesn't seem to be going. Here is my code...it bails right on the like "With..." and gives the error 80004005. :-/


Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate "

https://www.dyndns.com/account/services/hosts/dyndns/blah.ath.cx"

With IE.Document.Forms(2)
.username.value="abc"
.password.value="123"
.submit
End With

And what about this ?
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate "

https://www.dyndns.com/account/services/hosts/dyndns/blah.ath.cx"

Set F=IE.Document.Forms(2)
F.username.value="abc"
F.password.value="123"
F.submit


Hope This Helps, PH.

Unfortunately, getting the same failure... I am using IE6 SP2 if that means anything...

And this ?
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate "

https://www.dyndns.com/account/services/hosts/dyndns/blah.ath.cx"

Do While IE.Busy
WScript.Sleep 500
Loop
Set F=IE.Document.Forms(2)
F.username.value="abc"
F.password.value="123"
F.submit
