I have been attempting to determine the number of Edit fields on a web page. I
have tried to pull that information from the DOM, but I am not grasping how to
create a collection of edit / password fields. As a backup, I attempted to use
the GetListOfFormFields function. I can use this function and then pass the
returned string to the
DlgSelectItemInList function without any problems. The
DlgSelectItemInList function will display the list showing and separating the
segments properly. However, the GetListOfFormFields function has a delimeter
as the first parameter, it does not use the delimeter specified! Therefore, I
can not use StringSegmentCount to determine how many segments are in the list.
I wrote my own MyStringSegnentCount before I noticed that the
GetListOfFormFields is at fault instead and does not use the delimiter as the
documentation suggests. Does anyone know how the
DlgSelectItemInList function determines how to split up the segments? Is
there a error in my logic or use in the test example below? Can anyone suggest
a robust method to obtain the number of edit / password fields visible on a web
page?
Here is a test function demonstrating the improper use of delimiters returned
in the GetListOfFormFields:
Script SegmentTest ()
Var
String sTestString,
String sDelimiter,
Int iSegments
Let sDelimiter = "|"
Let sTestString = "UserID/ email: Edit|password Edit| line 3 \tEdit"
Let sTestString = GetListOfFormFields (sDelimiter , WT_EDIT)
; InputBox ("Enter new string: ", "Here is the full string!", sTestString)
Let iSegments = StringSegmentCount (sTestString, sDelimiter)
SayInteger (iSegments)
EndScript
