shutch00 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) When using _IELinkClickByText, does it have to open a new browser before it will work?For example:#Include <IE.au3> WinActivate ("Google - Windows Internet Explorer", "") _IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "About Google", 0, 1)In the help file, it says to include $oIE = _IECreate(www.google.com). But I already have google open, so I do not want to create another one.If I take it out, I am told that $oIE has not been declared.How do I just tell it to click the links of the browser that is already open without opening a new one?I'm sure this is a silly question, but I just don't get it.

searchresult Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 like this? #include <IE.au3> Local $oIE = _IECreate("www.google.com", 1) _IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "About Google", 0, 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutch00 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Searchresult, The problem is that this code opens google on a new tab or in a new window. But I already have google open, so I don't want it to do that. I just want it to click the link in the google that I already have open. Make sense? Seems like this would be simple, but maybe I am confusing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searchresult Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Code i gave you works just fine on my Internet Explorer. It doesn't open new instance of IE or new tab if i already have opened it. But if the address is wrong it will open new tab or window. I'm from croatia and if i set www.google.com as address it will open new tab cause address is www.google.hr not com. Or I don't understand what you want? EDIT: Are you using Internet explorer or some other browser? Edited May 11, 2012 by searchresult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 @shutch00 Did you look at what I posted? Because that will do exactly what you're looking to do. #include <IE.au3> WinActivate("Google - Windows Internet Explorer", "") $oIE = _IEAttach("google") _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "About Google", 0, 1) If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
