Automating website with Ajax

[phinney]

For the past couple months I've been working on a program for the site Vampirefreaks.com to autmatically invite members to a specific usergroup.

I finally got everything working properly when the webmaster changed how the website invites

You used to have to click an invite button, then a new window would pop up

The program worked that way.

Now however, the webmaster made an ajax code to simply embed the page that used to pop up into the first page(look at the pictures)

This is the first page that, clicking on the "invite" button used to open up a new window, now it does this:

How would I get my program to wait for this ajax control to load up before clicking on the "Submit" button in that window?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me

If you using the FF.au3 you can use this function:

_FFLoadWaitASYNC

I may be mis-reading the FFLoadWaitASYNC code, but it appears to be triggered by the text in the status bar. AJAX may not necessarily update the status bar text during processing. If I'm mis-representing that functionality, my apologies in advance.

I would write a function to wait until the Submit button has certain attributes, i.e. 'display=block'.

I would determine these attributes through the use of the IE Developer toolbar (for IE) and/or Firebug (for FF).

When we wait for the button to have these attributes set, we can be reasonably assured that the script can continue.

Yes I know that _FFLoadWaitASYNC not always works (because that's why it isn't called _FFLoadWaitAJAX ) with AJAX, but I think I can check it with something like this:

in one of the next versions.

Was this more a suggestion or a question for an example?

An example I've made some times ago -

every time you click on the button, the script fills the inputs:
