Instead of native getElementById method, use IHTMLDocument3_getElementById:

$username="myname"
$password="mypass"
$url = "http://wss.mahadiscom.in/wss/wss?uiActionName=getCustAccountLogin"
$ie = New-Object -com InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.visible = $true
$ie.navigate($url)
while($ie.Busy) { Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100 }
$ie.document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementById("loginId").value = $username
$ie.document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementById("password").value = $password
$ie.document.IHTMLDocument3_getElementById("loginButton").click()

It will show an alert stating "Login Name and Password combination is incorrect.".

It's working on my machine having IE11 and WIN10. There are 3 important changes in above code:

  • Using http rather than https because of IE problem with certificate of that site at the time which I tried the site.
  • Checking Busy property of IE to check if IE is busy, then wait for it.
  • Using IHTMLDocument3_getElementById instead of getElementById.
