macro to fill in password does not trigger javascript validation

Post by ntingle » Mon Jun 22, 2020 6:31 pm

I'm automating a password update form. When I type in the password manually it triggers javascript that validates the password, and this enables the "proceed" button used to actually perform the update.

However when I run the resulting imacro I recorded to do this, it correctly enters the passwords into the form (I can see the ****** appear in the boxes) however it does not appear to trigger the javascript validation, and so the "proceed" button does not work.

What can I try? The password input elements look like this:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=ID:change-password-form ATTR=ID:NewPassword CONTENT=the-new-password
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=ID:change-password-form ATTR=ID:ConfirmNewPassword CONTENT=the-new-password

This has worked in the past, but something has changed on the site.

Free imacros version 1005, latest chrome for windows (83.0.4103.106).
