Question website login automation with webbrowser?

[Mrt]

Hello, recently I've been going through some website login automation and ended up with creating a simple my own browser quite happily, to open websites and login straight away.

But I found out that I can't automate some of the websites I was going for, because the html code of the login forms is not shared and cannot be seen in the source.

So I'll give you guys a couple of websites I can't deal with and please advice if it is possible to do stuff with them:

Please have a look at the following:

Thank you

Hello, again, I am still trying to do this.

I'll post some sample code so you understand what method I am using:

For i As Integer = 0 To wb.Document.All.Count - 1
                    elm = wb.Document.All.Item(i)

                    If Not elm.TagName Is Nothing Then
                        If elm.TagName.ToUpper() = "input" Then
                            If CType(elm, System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement).Name = "username" Then 'Get User ID Element
                                CType(elm, System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement).InnerText = "qwerty"
                            ElseIf CType(elm, System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement).Name = "password" Then 'Get Password Element
                                CType(elm, System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement).InnerText = "123"
                            End If
                        End If
                    End If
                Next

                With Me.wb
                    For Each ele As HtmlElement In .Document.GetElementsByTagName("input")
                        If ele.GetAttribute("name") = "username" Then
                            ele.SetAttribute("text", "hellp")
                        ElseIf ele.GetAttribute("name") = "password" Then
                            ele.SetAttribute("text", "hellp")
                        End If
                    Next
                End With

                For Each el As HtmlElement In wb.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input")
                    If el.GetAttribute("Value") = "Login" Then
                        el.InvokeMember("Click")
                    End If
                Next

the code is actually fine, looks like I am using wrong names for the username, password texboxes and the login button controls on the website.

the only thing I need is somebody more advanced could have a look at those websites I've posted and tell me is it possible to get to the controls and automate the login

The value for HTML input tag is set with 'value' attribute, there is no 'text' attribute. You can use GetElementById to get username/password elements.

web.Document.GetElementById("username").SetAttribute("value", "user")

You can also get the form element and call its 'submit' method, instead of finding and 'clicking' the submit button.

web.Document.Forms(0).InvokeMember("submit")

A brief look at the first Tempest link you posted shows that the login page is a separate page displayed with a iframe. Perhaps you can load the login page directly in browser and go from there.

Perhaps you can load the login page directly in browser and go from there.

That's a good catch but how do I define the webpage of the login form??? There are iframes on both of the website's I've posted it could really help

 

[JohnH]

The source show the url for the login page, as I said. Try loading the login page.

oh, right, I got it for the tempest website and it works perfect.

but not the other one, I found this in the source of murphx website but can't find this webpage:

<td class="content" height="100%" valign="top" colspan="2">
					<iframe id="xcontent" name="xcontent" frameborder=0 src="/pages/render.php?phpsessid=20711496e6768376fc70e5bbfada8ecc&p=login" name="xcontent" height="100%" width="100%"></iframe>
				</td>

https://portal.xps.murphx.com/pages/render.php?phpsessid=20711496e6768376fc70e5bbfada8ecc&p=login

Thanks very much, you resolved my problems

See you next time
