Code to detect what's written on browser page

[Guest surefire12345]

I'm a long time user of v2 AutoIt, but there's one thing I've always wanted to be able to do and I'm wondering whether it's now possible in v3.

What I'd like to be able to know is when a certain condition has been met on a browser page. So for example:

Let's say I'm using AutoIt to submit information to a web based form, but I want to know whether the submission has been successful or not. Let's say that the next web page says "success" on it somewhere when the submission has worked.

Is there anyway of programming an AutoIt Script to recognise this outcome. Obviously in this case the Title bar isn't changing to give anything away, so I can't use the Title to move on.

Your thoughts and help are much appreciated.

Michael.

kinda lame but you can check for a cerain pixel...

You can copy everything on the page and read this, example:

Send("^a");select all
Send("^c");copy to clipboard
$text=ClipGet();set text to clipboard

Now use StringInStr() to check for the word "succes" or something, so:

If StringInStr($text,"succes") Then
MsgBox(0,"","Succes")
Else
MsgBox(0,"","Error")
EndIf

You can press Ctrl+V in notepad after executing the first script to see how it looks.

And with the COM support in the beta release, it's even easier.

Have a look at just this snippet of code.

$o_object = ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")
If IsObj($o_object) Then
    $o_object.visible = 0
    $o_object.navigate ("http://www.google.com/")
    While $o_object.busy
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
    $s_Text = $o_object.document.body.innerText
    $o_object.quit()
EndIf

MsgBox(0, 'Page Text', $s_Text)

Or with IE.au3:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.google.com/")
MsgBox(0, 'Page Text', $oIE.document.body.innerText)
