Setting Element Value with Javascript Not working on a webpa

Postby sanjosetour » Sun Jul 05, 2020 12:55 pm

Hi guys
Im working with Cefsharp to automate a form submission of a web page: https://ahrefs.com/user/login

I'm trying to set the email and password with Javascript, but it auto clears out as if it were not set when I click on submit:
Code: Select all
email = document.querySelector('input[name=email]');
email.value = "testing@example.com";

I have tried even doing with an event, but still no success.
Code: Select all
event = new Event('change', { bubbles: true });
email.dispatchEvent(event);

What can be the solution?

Then it is not supported. You can research if something similar is possible using the DevTools protocol.

The website likely has validation to prevent bots. Either execute some JavaScript to remove the validation or use a different input method.

You can try something like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/596 ... mmatically
