bill73 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I can get all the links on a page using IELinkGetCollection, but if I am looking for just the items under menu BBB (see code below), what approach should I use to find them in AutoIt (and they don't all start with B in the real html file)? Thanks, -Bill <div id="menuGreen" class="menu"> <ul> <li> <a id="menuGreen" title="AAA" href="aaa.htm">AAA</a> <ul> <li> <a title="A01" href="a01.htm"> a01</a> </li> <li> <a title="A02" href="a02.htm"> a02</a> </li> <li> <a title="A03" href="a03.htm"> a03</a> </li> <li> <a title="A04" href="a04.htm"> a04</a> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <a id="menuGreen" title="BBB" href="bbb.htm">BBB</a> <ul> <li> <a title="B01" href="b01.htm"> b01</a> </li> <li> <a title="B02" href="b02.htm"> b02</a> </li> <li> <a title="B03" href="b03.htm"> b03</a> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Assuming the struction of the HTML is constant, take advantage of the fact that _IETagnameGetCollection works with the DOM hierarchy: $oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "menuGreen") $oUL = _IETagnameGetCollection($oDiv, "ul", 2) ; 3rd ul in div $oLinks = _IETagnameGetCollection($oUL, "a") ; collection of BBB items Dale 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?

It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

bill73 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I was thinking of 'Tagname get collection' only applying to tags that explicitly had the NAME attribute set within the tag. Your example makes everything clear now. Thanks so much. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
