Probably doing something stupid, but cant get any script to log onto PayPal (https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run).

I recorded logging in to my account; the result navigates to the login page, fills in the Email address, fills in the Go To field, focuses on the Papal password field and goes no further. If I then manually click he Log In button, the request is rejected because no Password has been entered.

I adapted the 'Login a web site by using fill form and click form actions' script (see attached), using the fields identified in the recording.

Running this gives an error when it tries to load a value.
Dont really understand as the same fields were loaded in the recording with the values I input.

Any help much appreciated.

Form interactions can be tricky when creating a web scraper.

Please find attached a demo script with all kind of form interactions and how to set them in Djuggler.

Thanks for the script, looks good - but - I am using the latest djuggler personal 2.1.11.

Many of the actions in the script are not recognised (translated as 'Missing Action'). The messages say the script has been made by a newer version.

Do you have something similar for the older version?

Best Regards

That may be difficult. Version 3 has all kind of new DOM methods for web page interaction while web scraping. However you can also do it with javascript. If you have a little understanding of javascript you can set all fields with the execute javascript action.

Hope this helps.
