flmbray Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I have an object on a web page that I need to click. It isn't a link and it doesn't have an id. It is a TD with a class on it, but so do many other TDs (with the same class). I have a specific XPath to the object: /html/body/form/div[2]/div[3]/div[3]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr/td[2] (I got this from Firebug in Firefox.) How can I use IE.au3 to obtain and click this specific object? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that with IE works but with the FF.au3 you can do this: _FFClick( _FFXpath("//form/div[2]/div[3]/div[3]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]", "", 9 ) ) jEdit4AutoIt PlanMaker_UDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) XPath is only available in IE via the MSXML object and not the InternetExplorer document object, so it is not so convenient. Your "selector" (/html/body/form/div[2]/div[3]/div[3]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]) should work this way: $oElement = $oIE.document.body _ .getElementsByTagname("form").item(0) _ .getElementsByTagname("div").item(2) _ .getElementsByTagname("div").item(3) _ .getElementsByTagname("div").item(2) _ .getElementsByTagname("table").item(0) _ .getElementsByTagname("tbody").item(0) _ .getElementsByTagname("tr").item(0) _ .getElementsByTagname("td").item(2) Dale Edited December 26, 2009 by DaleHohm Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better?

Right now, there are several conditions...and i just had a breakthrough in one unfortunatly, with your xpath provided, i can already point out, i have not made use of the '*' or specifiying the 2nd such div '[2]' Edited May 29, 2012 by jdelaney IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.
