Finding the ID of a radio button

[CO_]

Hi everyone!

 

I'm not a php programmer but have been thrust into it by my Boss... and I'm having Trouble finding out the ID of this set of Radio Buttons  I reckon it's somethin very simple that I have just missed out...

The code is as follows (not mine):

<tr><td>
<input type="radio" name="st" value=0 checked >125 Markt-Städte<br>


<input type="radio" name="st" value="1.2">aktuell gültige Kreise (402)<br>
<input type="radio" name="st" value="1.3">alte Kreise (440)<br>
<input type="radio" name="st" value="1.1">alte** & neue* Kreise<br><input type="radio" name="st" value=3 >Regionen (ROR)<br>
<input type="radio" name="st" value=2 >Alle Gebietseinheiten<br>
<br>
<input type="radio" name="st" value=6 >Ø Werte ABCD-Städte<br>

</td><td width=150>
<input type="radio" name="topic" value="BU" >Büro<br>
<input type="radio" name="topic" value="EH">Einzelhandel<br>
<input type="radio" name="topic" value="GE">Gewerbe<br>
<input type="radio" name="topic" value="WO">Wohnen<br>
<input type="radio" name="topic" value=""checked>Alle<br>

</td>
</tr>

A bit of Background... I'm using VBA to access the Website and then automate the selection of the Buttons and stuff...

 

Any bit of help would be very much appreciated!

It doesn't seem to have any ID actually. I assume you mean an ID for the whole form? I see no <form> tag either!

I assume you're trying to process the form results in php, and you're having trouble finding out which radio buttons are set?

 

I just did a quick google search and found this tutorial which looks like it could help you out. If you follow through that and then still have questions, come back and we can help further.

Hi W,

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

The code below is

<input type="radio" name="topic" value=""checked>Alle<br>

</td>
</tr>

<tr><td colspan=2>
<input type=submit value=" Städteliste ändern ">
</form></td></tr>

</table>
</td><td><form method=post action="tablelist_join.php3"><select name=ctylist[] multiple size=15><option  value=05313000>Aachen<option class=Auswahl value=08417079>Albstadt<option

There are no further references to form...

 

How would I go about automating the Buttons and/or form?

 

Tahnks!

Ok, by automate you mean that when the user visits the page some radio buttons should be automatially checked, so the user doesn't have to do it?

 

In a radio button you can add checked within the tag, like so:

<input type="radio" name="topic" value="WO" CHECKED>Wohnen<br>

You can also add disabled to make it impossible for the user to check it.

I'm using Excel to access the Website (VBA) the way it works (or i hope it will):

 

User opens Excel, makro launches and acces the Internet, selects all the relevant Options (which are always the same) and Downloads then the relevant info.

 

Then the user can carry on working on his/her database. The Radiobuttons are whithin a Webpage that I have no Access to (ie, can't modify their code)

 

The particular radiobutton that I need is

<input type="radio" name="st" value=2 >Alle Gebietseinheiten<br>

Denno, it Looks interesting the tutotrial, do you know if i can integrate it to VBA?

 

thanks so far guys!

Strictly, it should be

 

checked="checked"

 

but if you then add "disabled" the button value is not sent with the form data

I've stopped following you guys... are you suggestign I can change the script at will? If it helps the line of code that is trying to interact with the script is:

 

Set ieRadio = ie.Document.getElementById("*ID*")
ieRadio.Item("st")(2).Checked = True

[Barand]

Have you tried

 

document.getElementsByName("st")

Yes. It throws the following error:

 

"Runtime error '-2147467259 (80004005)': Automation error. Unknown Error"
