Hello,

I have a web page with a form.

I load it in a webview object.

How can we change the value of a field ?

This is my HTML code of my form :
HTML: 
<form action="action.php">
<input type="text" name="contact_name" value="" />
<input type="text" name="contact_fname" value="" />
<input type="text" name="contact_mail" value="" />
<input type="submit" value"GO" />
</form>

I load it in an webview objet (zoneweb is the name of my webview objet)

zoneweb.LoadUrl("http://www.mydomaine.fr/my-html-form.html")

I want to assign a value in the 3 fields : contact_name, contact_fname and contact_mail

Equivalent to (in JS) : document.form[0].getElementByName('contact_name').value = 'Alfred';

And after I would submit the form for the script action.php either call in webview.

Equivalent to (in JS) : document.form[0].submit();

Thank you for your help.

Hi Erel,
Thank for your help...

Clic on "GO" button in first and wait button text become "URL loaded"
After you clic on "Inject JS code" button fot inject this commande line :

B4X: 
joWV.RunMethodJO("getEngine", Null).RunMethod("executeScript", Array As String("document.getElementById('contact_name').value = 'test'"))

And an error is catched in html_txtarea.Text : netscape.javascript.JSException: TypeError: 'null' is not an object

Hi,

Where to find documentation about JavaObject librarie ?
I am looking for the names of the different methods : RunMethodJO -> getEngine and other and also for RunMethod -> executeScript and other

I do not understand why : document.form [0] .submit () does not work.

B4X: 
joWV.RunMethodJO("getEngine", Null).RunMethod("executeScript", _
        Array As String("document.form[0].submit()"))

Error : netscape.javascript.JSException: TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object

B4X: 
        joWV.RunMethodJO("getEngine", Null).RunMethod("executeScript", _
        Array As String("document.forms[0].submit();"))
