Clicking on OK in JS Popup from IE8

[ShaneF]

Hey guys,

After hours of research on here and the help file I am unable to get the above to work.

I have an image I have to click on the webform which then instantly initiates a JS popup with either an error or confirmation message in it.

The title is "Message from webpage" (sounds customised) but AutoIT can not find it.

Here is the code I'm having trouble with...

$oForms = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE,"containerForm")

$oSite = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForms, "xml:/Shipment/@ReceivingNode")

$oCtnr = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForms, "xml:/Shipment/Extn/@UnitNo")

$oBill = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForms, "xml:/Shipment/Extn/@BillOfLading")

_IEFormElementSetValue($oSite,$site)

_IEFormElementSetValue($oCtnr,$ctnr)

_IEFormElementSetValue($oBill,$bill)

_IEImgClick($oForms,"action.gif")

if WinExists("Message from webpage") then

WinActivate("Message from webpage", "")

ControlClick("Message from webpage", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:OK; Instance:1;]")

EndIf

Looking at the XML/AJAX source for the site reveals there is no control name for the image that is clicked, so I couldn't effectively implement the Example 2 in _IEAction that everyone seems to get pointed to.

I've tried everything from newbie-style sleeping and sending Enter to the _IEAction thing ending up with the above - any more ideas?

Just to clarify - it is javascript 'alerts' I'm having issues with...

I have tried every single way I can find and have even tried being creative without luck.

It has to be possible - it works in a competing product, but my HQ want me to stick to AutoIT as we have some internal support for it.

This, however, stumped them...

You can use _IENavigate($ie,"Javascript CODE HERE"), or _IELinkClickByText($ie,"LINK LABLE HERE").

If this doesn't work and the button is always at the same place, you could use a MouseClick("primary",button_x,button_y)

Nice idea, but the script pauses when the action image is clicked (the click triggers the popup).

The problem is that there is no button control to handle so I've been unable to use ControlSend functions and I can't get an IE control ID to handle it.

The problem with MouseClick is that there are several possible responses, so the OK button will appear in different places...

As it stops the entire script from running I thought the best way to handle it would be to write and compile another script that constantly runs during this script to check for these dialogs and respond OK to all of them.

Here is the code for the small app:

$ctr = 0

while $ctr=0

$var = WinList()

For $i = 1 to $var[0][0]

If $var[$i][0] <> "" AND IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then

if $var[$i][0] = "Message from webpage" Then

WinActivate("Message from webpage")

ControlClick("Message from webpage","","Button1")

EndIf

EndIf

Next

sleep(250)

WEnd

Func IsVisible($handle)

If BitAnd( WinGetState($handle), 2 ) Then

Return 1

Else

Return 0

EndIf

EndFunc

You don't need an element name or ID to get a reference to it. You can get it by Index instead. See any of the _IE*GetCollection functions. Then go back and use the 2nd _IEAction example.
