Access denied calling FireEvent in Python

[calfdog@yahoo.com]

Hello,

Does anyone know a workaround for calling fireEvent.
With the latest from Microsoft OS XP2 and Hot fixes to
IE it now gives an "access denied" error in Python when called.

Here is what I am trying to do:
Set the "campus" listbox value and theb call fire event, such as in the
code below. I get an "access denied" error.

example code:
ie = DispatchEx('Int ernetExplorer.A pplication')

# Some code to navigate to the site, wait till doc is not busy and #
ReadyState is complete...blah ..blah...

ie.Document.for ms[0].campus.value = '200'
ie.Document.for ms[0].campus.fireEve nt('onchange')

HTML code:
<select style="font-size: 10" name="campus" onChange="if
(this.options[this.selectedIn dex].value != 0)
populate(this.o ptions[this.selectedIn dex].value)">
<option value=0>Select a campus
<option value="200">Nor man Campus
<option value="501">Adv anced Programs
<option value="502">Lib eral Studies
<option value="504">Aca demic Programs (CAFE)
<option value="505">OU Tulsa</select>


If you call:
fireEvent('onch ange')
fireEvent('oncl ick')
fireEvent('onFo cus') etc... You will get an Access Denied

This only happens with either the newer version of IE and XP2.
I was able to call the exact same code with XP1 and Win2000 Pro
and it work fine. So something has changed with I.E. and is not being
handled in Python.


example code:
ie.Document.for ms[0].campus.fireEve nt('onchange')

Trace:
File
"C:\Python23\Li b\site-packages\python win\pywin\frame work\scriptutil s.py",
line 310, in RunScript
exec codeObject in __main__.__dict __
File "C:\QA\Tools\cP AMIE150\oCScrip t2.py", line 24, in ?

com_error: (-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', None, None)

Help would be much appreciated!!

Re: Access denied calling FireEvent in Python

Found that you have to call FireEvent a different way in the News IE
and sp2
Instead of:

ie.Document.for ms[0].campus.fireEv ent('onchange')

if needs to be changed to:
ie.Document.for ms[0].campus.FireEv ent('onchange')

Re: Access denied calling FireEvent in Python

Regarding the call to FireEvent:

I still do not understand why you could call fireEvent('onc hange')
and now it you have to call "FireEvent('on change')" to avoid the
Access denied message

In Ruby or Perl you still call "fireEvent('on change')" it has not
changed and you do not get the access denied error.

If anyone has any helpful information regarding this it would be great.
