IE Help

[LurchMan 2]

Hey everyone -

I'm working on automating a website and I can't get it to click this link:

<td class="primaryNav" width="*" nowrap="nowrap" id="antiSpam">
<a href="policy/spam/viewSpamPolicy.do" onclick="selectPrimaryNavLink('antiSpam')">

I've tried using _IECLinkClickByText (), _IECLinkClickByID () and _IEGetObjByID () with _IEAction ().

When I use _IEGetObjByID () it successfully gets the Obj but it doesn't click it. Neither function is reporting an error either.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

_IENavigate($oIE, "javascript:selectPrimaryNavLink('antiSpam')", 0);

?

Are you sure it gets the correct object? There maybe more objects with the same ID.

it is possible there are frames too. Did you try _IELinkGetCollection and loop them

with Consolewrite($element.innerhtml&@crlf) + counter to see which elemnt you need?

Thank you for the reply - I did not know you could run java script like that with he _IE functions. Although this did not do it either - it showed the link has focus but does not go to the page.

I've looked through the source of the web page and I didn't see another object with the same ID...However my tired brain looked over this idea, and using the _IELinkClickByIndex with the index i got from your suggestion worked...Thank you for your help.
