$passwordfield = $ie.document.getElementByID('password')
$passwordfield.value = "$password"

$Link = $ie.document.getElementByID('login')
$Link=$ie.Document.getElementsByTagName("button") | where-object {$_.type -eq "Log In"}
$Link.click()

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At line:20 char:1

• $Link.click()
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull

see below Inspect Button Log in

thank you very much for your help,

Answer 1

Hi,

In your source file, "Log In" is not the type of the button but the text of the span. See if this works for you.

$link = $ie.document.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('span') | where-Object {$_.textContent -eq 'Log In' }  
$link.click()

Hi,

Try simulating keyboard input SendKeys

do {  
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 1  
}  
while ($ie.busy)  
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'Microsoft.VisualBasic")  
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate("Internet Explorer")  
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'System.Windows.Forms")  
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::Sendwait("{RIGHT}{RIGHT}{ENTER}")
