How to click link automatically on IE page

[darcaro]

Hello -

I have a very simple AutoIT gui that allows me to launch a webpage by concatenating variables and creating a url. The trouble is, I always get the "Continue to this website (not recommended) " message.

Is there any easy way to click certain links , and for that matter, click on any text on a given screen?? This would be incredibly helpful!

Thanks!!

Read the helpfile. _IELinkClickByText()

#include <file.au3> 
$URL    = "www.google.com"
             $fd        = FileOpen(@TEMPDir & "url.url",2)
             if $fd = -1 Then Exit
             FileWriteLine($fd,"[InternetShortcut]")
             FileWriteLine($fd,"URL=" & $URL)
             FileClose($fd)
             Run(@comspec & " /c " & chr(34) & @TEMPDir & "url.url" & chr(34))

You're stalking me aren't you? XD It's pretty common sense to read related functions for future reference but I suppose it never hurts to mention it.

This is great - the one thing is that there are a few clicks on the page that I wanted to click on , and _IELinkClickByText worked for some of them, but not all. The ones that dont work seem to be Javascript items - Is there any way to search for that text, and click that?? When I hover over it, I can see the where it wants to go (which appears to be a URL) but it doesnt click using that function.

Thank you all so much for your help!

Suggest you download DebugBar (see my sig) to easily see the structure of the HTML page. LINKs are <A> tags... you can click on other elements with _IETagnameGetCollection and _IEAction, but you need to study a bit.
