Example
; *******************************************************
; Example 1 - Open a browser with the "form" example, get a reference
; to the submit button by name and "click" it. This technique
; of submitting forms is useful because many forms rely on JavaScript
; code and "onClick" events on their submit button making _IEFormSubmit()
; not perform as expected
; *******************************************************
;
#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IE_Example ("form")
$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "submitExample")
_IEAction ($oSubmit, "click")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)
; *******************************************************
; Example 2 - Same as Example 1, except instead of using click, give the element focus
; and then use ControlSend to send Enter. Use this technique when the
; browser-side scripting associated with a click action prevents control
; from being automatically returned to your code.
