Extract value of INPUT tag

[RabbitChaser]

I need to extract the value of an INPUT tag. I have the tag name and id. I would like to use ExtractByTagName instead of ExtractTag because the field will not always have the same index on the page, but, it does not work. ExtractByTagName always returns blank.

When I use ExtractByTagName on a SPAN, it works fine. If I use it on the TD that surrounds the INPUT and set it to give me all of the HTML, then I can see the INPUT. But what I really want is just to get the value of the INPUT tag.

Help?

Thanks.

Could you post a sample of the HTML that is giving you problems?

This is the TD that contains the INPUT I want the value of:



This is the TD that contains the SPAN I can get the value of:

145564375897556

If I open this page in WeRecorder and use the tag extraction wizard, it can extract the value of the INPUT using ExtractTag and the tags index, but like I said, I don't really want to do it that way because the index will not be consistent.

Is there a way to find an element by it's name or id and then get it's index?

Thanks.

I've switched to using VBscript to manipulate my IE window. It's working well, and it's much faster.

Can you post a sample of how you accomplished this via vbscript?
