Use Autoit window info to get your ClassnameNN for any buttons

You might try _IELinkClickByText().

That won't work. The buttons on a web page in IE are not the same as window controls. Try your answer on an instance of IE and see what you get.

i ran into another problem.

when i click the link it opens up a popup window which has the I Agree button in it, how do i get the $o_object of a pop up window?

You probably don't. Most IE pop-ups are actually standard Windows GUIs that respond to the normal stuff like WinWait(), ControlSend(), etc.

but the pop up is a new IE window

but the pop up is a new IE window

Then you use _IEAttach() to get a reference to the other instance of IE and proceed from there with the usual _IE* stuff. If it's a simple page with nothing but an OK button, you might get away with just:

ControlSend("Your Pop-up Window Title Here", "", "", "{ENTER}")

i got pass the new window part by just going right to the site, however i still can't click the button, i've tried _IELinkclickbytext and _IELinkclickbyindex, what else can i try?

[DaleHohm]

There is no "link" (an <a>) in the HTML supplied.

If this is the only button on the page, it will have an index of 0 in the collection of buttons...

$oButton = _IETagnameGetCollection($oIE, "button", 0)

_IEAction($oButton, "click")

This description stinks. Couldn't help you if I wanted to.

ok i'll try again

This is with script

1) click I Agree button

2) click Download

3) nothing happens

Manual clicking

1) click I agree

2) click download

3) File Download window pops asking me to save or cancel

I am stuck on part 3, not sure why after clicking it nothing happens in the script

[DaleHohm]

How do you know you clicked on the object you intended to?

because after clicking it in both situations it will load the page with "If your download does not start automatically after a few seconds, please click here."

if i manually click it i will see that message and show the download popup but if i use the script to click it i'll hear the click sound and see the message but no popup

[DaleHohm]

Sounds like a popup blocker. Make sure you don't have one enabled. Else, look to see if there is any exotic Javascript attached to the button... you may need to dig into it if so. You can also look at the 2nd example for _IEAction for another possibility.
