Problem to click link on the next page

[anilmanyam 0]

I am a newbie and trying to do a simple task to automate navigation through a website

When i open the url with the _IEcreate function a new window opens and i am able to click any link on it

Once the control navigates to the next page i am not able to click on any link

Here's my script

#include <IE.au3>

$URL= "http://www.rediff.com"

$IE = _IECreate ("http://www.rediff.com")

WinActivate("[CLASS:IEFrame]","")

WinSetState("[CLASS:IEFrame]", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

_IELoadWait($IE)

$string1 = "News"

_IELinkClickByText($IE,$string1)

;Control navigates to the next page now

string2 = "More New Stories"

_IELinkClickByText($IE,$st2) ; Not working

;I guess $IE still points to "http://www.rediff.com"

;What do i need to do to make $IE point to the current page now so that i can click a link on it

anilmanyam,

I am a newbie

Obviously so as you have posted your question in a section clearly marked as "Example scripts - This is not a general support forum!".

But welcome to the AutoIt forum anyway - I have asked for your thread to be moved to the correct section.

Probably because there is no $st2 variable.

Are you running this in SciTe with F5? If not, do so and look at thte messages in the console at the bottom. You say you rea not getting an error, but you are not checking the return status of _IELinkClickByText, so you would not know unless you can see the console.

there's a warning which says "Warning from function _IELinkClickByText, $_IEStatus_NoMatch"

I am having a hard time understanding what's wrong with the script and why i am not able to click on any link after i navigate successfully to the next page..

I would appreciate your help very much.

Thanks in advance
