Hello,
It's fairly easy to do see code below:
##########################################################################
from win32com.client import DispatchEx
import time
# instaniate a new IE object
ie = DispatchEx('InternetExplorer.Application')
# Naviagte to the site
ie.Navigate("www.google.com")
# You have to wait for the site to load. Best use a method that check
for readystate ="complete" and ie.Busy
while ie.Busy:
time.sleep(0.1)
doc = self._ie.Document
while doc.readyState != 'complete':
time.sleep(0.1)
ie.Document.all["q"].value ="Python rocks"
ie.Document.all["btnG"].click()
I have a wrapper that does all this for you. It is geared for people in
QA. You can download if here
URL : http://pamie.sourceforge.net
To use it is simple" The wait to laod the doc is already in the code
###########################################
from cPAMIE import PAMIE
ie=PAMIE()
ie.Navigate(www.google.com)
# Set the text - arguments - value to set, textbox name, formname
ie.SetTextBox('Python","q","f")
ie.ClickButton("btnG,"f")
ie.ClickLink('Python Programming Language')
Hope this helps
