Clicking on a javascript button


Recommended Posts

Trying to click a javascript button on a webpage in IE. Here's the source:

<TD style="display:none" id="tdBtnAccount" width="16%" bgcolor="white">
            <DIV id="div1" width="100%" class="lmNormal"><A class="lmNormal" id="button1" href="Javascript:Navigate('button1','/access/account.aspx','div1')">Account</A></DIV>
        </TD>

I've lost track of everything I've tried. There's 3 different "id" labels in there. Assuming I can target the button based on name, which one should I be aiming at?

Trying to target that link/button keeps failing.

_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Account")
_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "tdBtnAccount")
_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "div1")
$AccountButton = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "Account")
$AccountButton = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "tdBtnAccount")
$AccountButton = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "div1")
$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "tdBtnAccount")
$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "Account")
$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "div1")
_IELinkClickByIndex ($oIE, 2)

I get:

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IELinkClickByText, $_IEStatus_NoMatch
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IELinkClickByText, $_IEStatus_NoMatch
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IELinkClickByText, $_IEStatus_NoMatch
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEGetObjById, $_IEStatus_NoMatch (Account)
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEGetObjById, $_IEStatus_NoMatch (tdBtnAccount)
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEGetObjById, $_IEStatus_NoMatch (div1)
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch (Name: tdBtnAccount, Index: 0)
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch (Name: Account, Index: 0)
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch (Name: div1, Index: 0)
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IELinkClickByIndex, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

For reference, here's how I'm getting there:

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.amphire.com/access/custompages/rsi/logon.aspx")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "formLogon")
$oText = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "vsLogonName")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oText, $RSI_Username)
$oPassword = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "vsPassword")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oPassword, $RSI_Password)
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)
_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Distributor Ordering")

Really want to avoid mouse clicks if at all possible. The script would be run on a couple other people's machines.

$oButton = _IEGetObjById($oIE,"button1")
_IEAction($oButton,"Click")

results in:

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEGetObjById, $_IEStatus_NoMatch (button1)
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IEAction, $_IEStatus_InvalidDataType

Try ConsoleWrite(_IEDocReadHTML($oIE)) to insure the document contains the source you think it does.

Look for frames.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. 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?

Here's the top part of the page source if that helps. I'm not great with reading html, but get the jist of it. The button I need is about 2/3 down.

And how did you obtain the HTML you showed?
