IE Automation help if possible..

IE 9

I have a website that i am automating a task for a client.
In IE, on the website, there is a text box where user enters a serial number, and when they tab out of it (lostfocus/onblur), the site checks the serial number and responds back with a message.

i am trying to invoke the steps:

i got so far

                PUBLIC oWeb 
		IF TYPE("oWeb") <> "O"
			oWeb = CREATEOBJECT("InternetExplorer.Application")
			oWeb.Visible = .t. 
		ENDIF 
                oWeb.Navigate(lcURL)
                Waitforie(oWeb)
                oWeb.document.GetElementByID("FieldOnTheSite").value = lcSerial

it fills in the form field.

now, i'm trying to submit the form, or invoke on blur.

so, i tried:
aa = oWeb.document.GetElementByID("FieldOntheSite")
aa.FireEvent("OnBlur")

tried oWeb.document.forms[0].submit

etc..

any idea?

Hi Ali,
in similar situations helps me sometimes command element.click() like:

oWeb.document.getElementById("loginForm").getElementsByTagName("input")[7].click()

where control on a web page must be a type SUBMIT ("input")[7].type="submit" and 7 was an index in one particular case.
Even if this doesn't work for you, I can assure you, that you are going a right way. One only need to find a right reference to Submit element.
