Help clicking text link

mjar01 · July 11, 2012

Hi everyone. I've been researching and studying Autoit for the past week, and am creating a custom script. I've hit a wall, and while it seems like it should be easy, I'm unable to click a link searching strictly for the text, or even the "title" from the HTML piece.

Please help

Here’s the HTML code:

Is it possible to click by “Title”, or even the href piece “components.faces”??

<a href="components.faces" target="content" title="Show the installed product services">Services</a>

Specific component features. These settings affect the attributes and behaviors of specific components.

I’ve tried this, but no luck:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("<MY PAGE>")

Local $sMyString = "Services"

Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)

For $oLink In $oLinks

Local $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")

If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then

_IEAction($oLink, "click")

ExitLoop

EndIf

I'm looking to click "Services" link. I want my script to find Services, and click it. There are other links just like it, similar html, where I need to find and click the link.

Is it possible to sniff out the html for "title=value" , and click the link associated with that??

Hopefully this makes sense.

So I'm creating an auto script to deploy a file on my server. I'm actually running adobe livecycle on it. I'll leave the login portion out of my script. I'm able to login, but when I try to click on "Services", nothing happens. The script logs me in, but doesn't click "Services". I need to click "services", this brings me to another page, where I would need to click another link.

I can't figure out how to click "services" please help. :mad2:

#include

;URL / Login info hidden

$oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
$oUsername = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "loginForm:j_username")
$oPassword = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "loginForm:j_password")


_IEFormElementSetValue($oUsername, $sUsername)
_IEFormElementSetValue($oPassword, $sPassword)

;Find login button and click it
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection ($oIE, "input")
For $oInput In $oInputs
If $oInput.value = "login" Then
_IEAction ($oInput, "click")
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next

;### This is where I'm stuck. "Services" isn't clicking
Local $sMyString = "Services"
Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink In $oLinks
Local $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then
_IEAction($oLink, "click")
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next

Here is the html code for the page that i need to click Services on:

All these views and no one willing to lend a hand???

There's a difference between willing and able to lend a hand. Perhaps the other viewers, like myself, have no idea how to answer your question.

Plus you shouldn't be bumping your thread in less than 24 hours since the last time you did it, forum etiquette and all. The more you bump your thread, the less likely people are to help because you start to get annoying rather than desperate.
