Hello,
Does anyone know a workaround for calling fireEvent.
With the latest from Microsoft OS XP2 and Hot fixes to
IE it now gives an "access denied" error in Python when called.
Here is what I am trying to do:
Set the "campus" listbox value and theb call fire event, such as in the
code below. I get an "access denied" error.
example code:
ie = DispatchEx('InternetExplorer.Application')
# Some code to navigate to the site, wait till doc is not busy and #
ReadyState is complete...blah..blah...
ie.Document.forms[0].campus.value = '200'
ie.Document.forms[0].campus.fireEvent('onchange')
HTML code:
<select style="font-size: 10" name="campus" onChange="if
(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value != 0)
populate(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value=0>Select a campus
<option value="200">Norman Campus
<option value="501">Advanced Programs
<option value="502">Liberal Studies
<option value="504">Academic Programs (CAFE)
<option value="505">OU Tulsa</select>
If you call:
fireEvent('onchange')
fireEvent('onclick')
fireEvent('onFocus') etc... You will get an Access Denied
This only happens with either the newer version of IE and XP2.
I was able to call the exact same code with XP1 and Win2000 Pro
and it work fine. So something has changed with I.E. and is not being
handled in Python.
example code:
ie.Document.forms[0].campus.fireEvent('onchange')
Trace:
File
"C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py",
line 310, in RunScript

File "C:\QA\Tools\cPAMIE150\oCScript2.py", line 24, in ?

return

com_error: (-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', None, None)
Help would be much appreciated!!
