cant click dynamic links created by javascript

[neo291]

Hi!

I'm tryin to click on a particular link on a webpage. And this is what i get as source of that link :-

<div id="linkautoit" class="cont"><a style="cursor: pointer; margin-left: 1px; width: 150px;" onclick="enterRoom('autoit','autoit(39)','D');">autoit(39)</a></div>

The number which appears in the bracket keeps changin.

so far i have managed to get the link name(updated link name with current number in the brackets) but click action is not happenin on it.

Herez what i'm tryin :-

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById ($oIE, "linkautoit")
ConsoleWrite(_IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "innertext") & @CR)
_IEAction ($oDiv, "click")

Pls guide me.

Pls guide me.

Look at _IEAction() Example 2 in the help file, assigning focus and sending "{ENTER}" instead of clicking.

Or try this other method from the DOM:

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById ($oIE, "linkautoit")
$oLink = $oDiv.firstChild
_IEAction ($oLink, "click")

Thanx PsaltyDS! I tried that method earlier but it dint work.

Thanx DaleHohm!! Your suggestion worked like a charm

Therez another question, if the source code is this :-

<div id="linkautoit" class="cont">
<span style="margin-left: 1px; width: 150px;">
<a style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="showNoOfUserNotIncremnt('autoit','autoit','D');enable();">autoit</a></span>
<span><a style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="deleteRoom('autoit','autoit','D');">
<img src="images/delete.gif" border="0" width="16" height="16"></a></span></div>

Dont you think the same method should work as told by DaleHohm ??

For some reason its not working. Its only showing the innertext but not clicking on it.

Any Suggestion ?

I guess first child thing aint working coz the thing i'm tryin to click is no longer first child.

and i cant figure out how to click on second child/node.

Tried childnodes(i) but i guess that must be a wrong way since it dint work.

[neo291]

This is working, but then i'm not sure this is the best way to go about it or there is even better way to do this :-

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById ($oIE, "linkautoit")
ConsoleWrite(_IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "innertext") & @CR)
$oLink = $oDiv.childNodes(0)
$oNewLink=$oLink.firstchild
_IEAction ($oNewLink, "click")

[DaleHohm]

This is slightly less complex:

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById ($oIE, "linkautoit")
$oSpan = $oDiv.firstChild
$oLink = $oSpan.firstChild
_IEAction ($oLink, "click")

Edit: Here's another way... this will click the first link (index 0) inside the named div:

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById ($oIE, "linkautoit")
$oLink = _IETagnameGetCollection($oDiv, "a", 0)
_IEAction ($oLink, "click")
