Hi all,
I am trying to automate user responses to a web application via a perl
script which controls MS Internet Explorer. For that my perl script starts
MSIE, navigates to the application, and enters the required data. Now, when
navigating to the web application, the web server sends me a html page
which contains a javascript function like the following:
...
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
function showDetails(action,keydetail) {
document.assetList.action = action;
document.assetList.Key.value = keydetail;
document.assetList.submit();
return false;
}
</SCRIPT>
...
I need to call this function in order to have the next page of the
application being displayed. How can I call this java script function from
within my .pl script (The parameters 'action' and 'keydetail' are known by
the perl script), which looks like:
use OLE;
$IExplorer = CreateObject OLE "InternetExplorer.Application" ||
die "CreateObject: $!";
$IExplorer->{Visible} = 1;
$IExplorer->Navigate('<web application url>'); # Application sends back a
html containing a JavaScript function
...
The only thing I have found so far is 'execScript' from MSIEs object model,
but the following code doesn't work and there seems to be almost no
information nor samples on Microsofts Web pages on how to use that:
$IExplorer->execScript('showDetails()', 'JavaScript');
Has anybody experience in this area or can anybody give me a pointer?
Thanks for your help and kind regards,
Werner
