Question

Why is my VBScript not logging in properly?

This .vbs script should open reddit and automatically login. Instead I get an error stating I need an object? (The username and password fields are not an actual account).

Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

Call objIE.navigate("https://old.reddit.com")

objIE.Visible = True

Do Until objIE.ReadyState = 4 : Call WScript.Sleep(100) : Loop

With objIE.Document
.getElementByID("user").value = "username"
.getElementByID("passwd").value = "mypass"
.getElementByID("submit").submit

End With

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

You are facing this error because the login credentials which you are sending needs to be in the form of an object.
