[Solved]Selection by Table Class Name

[BreCalmor 0]

I am trying to select a table by class name, so I am using _IETagnameGetCollection and parsing through the tables returned to get the classname ($oTable.className). I can get a list of the tables no problem, but when I try to run an if statement to select that table name, it doesn't work right.

If $oTable.className = "TheList" Then

I also tried:

If $sText = "TheList" Then

Either way, when I use a msgbox or consolewrite, the value of the classname or the $sText variable is 0, yet it runs the If part and not the Else part.

What the heck...

$oTables = _IETagnameGetCollection($oIE, "table")
$index = 0
For $oTable in $oTables
    $sText = $oTable.className
    If $sText = "TheList" Then
        ;ConsoleWrite("[" & $sText & "]" & @CR)
        MsgBox(4096, "Stop", "[" & $sText & "]" & @CR)
        ConsoleWrite($index & ":- [" & $oTable.className & "]" & @CR)
        ;$oTable = _IETagnameGetCollection($oIE, "table", $index)
        $aTableData = _IETableWriteToArray ($oTable, True)
        _ArrayDisplay($aTableData)
        ExitLoop
    Else
        ConsoleWrite($index & ":  [" & $oTable.className & "]" & @CR)
        $index += 1
    EndIf
Next
ConsoleWrite($index & ":END [" & $oTable.className & "]" & @CR)

Thoughts? What am I doing wrong???

Thanks !!

If String($oTable.className) = "TheList" Then

If String($oTable.className) = "TheList" Then

Good to know about that, thanks Dale!

I use your IE UDF too and I use some not implemented (here _IETagNameGetCollectionByClassName) properties/functions too so this trick can be handy for me too.

Oh

Lesson Learned

Thanks !!

For those who are not familiar with the issue, when $oTable.className finds no match, it returns an integer 0, the expression is then deemed by autoit to be a numeric comparison... any string on the right side evaluates as an integer 0 and 0 = 0 is true. Using the String function on the left forces a string comparison.
