I'm creating a program in vb.net to go to https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/ and:
I've had to switch to using CeFSharp, as the microsoft browser doesn't want to load the page, so this is my first time with it.
This is what I have so far (CWB1 is the name of the browser object):
CWB1.LoadUrl("https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#")
CWB1.LoadUrl("javascript:void( document.getElementById( 'barcode-input' ).value='12345678' )")
Dim script = "var pagebutton = document.getElementById('submit');
pagebutton.click();"
CWB1.ExecuteScriptAsyncWhenPageLoaded(script)
The page loads, the text '12345678' is entered in the search box, but running the script to press the button does nothing.
I can't figure out how to press the button. I thought it must be the wrong id, but inspecting the web page seems to give button id="submit" so this should work? I've tried a few variations but nothing seems to move me forwards.
I also then need to grab the text from the page - not sure how to so this either?
Thanks for any help!
OK, I've found that the button press only works if you enter the text in the field via sendkey event. So the button press code was working after all - I guess the site's security is trying to make sure someone is typing the text in, instead of a robot. Thanks for your help with this amaitland!
