Refresh the HTML code (not page) on dynamic pages.

[radufly]

Hi guys,

Hope I'm not posting something that has been answer perviously, but I couldn't find anything near my problem.

So what I'm trying to do is use autoit to go to the dropbox site and export the users that have access to a certain folder.

The problem is after the script clicks the "view shared folder options" button the page changes dinamically (a simulated pop-up appears) and I can see that in Internet Explorer but the source code (in developer tools) does not change untill I click "refresh" on the developer tools tab. So after that my script does not find the divs that i want because practically they don't exist in the HTML code.

How can I solve this?

Previously I had this issue on the same dropbox site but I used to resolve this issue by using _IEAction with "refresh" arg, but I can't use this as the pop-up disappears if I do.

Here is my code:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Global $oIE= _IECreate("https://www.dropbox.com/home/MyFolder")

$pMessage=_IEBodyReadText($oIE)
If StringInStr($pMessage, "Sign in") Then
$oUser=_IEGetObjById($oIE, "login_email")
$oPass=_IEGetObjById($oIE, "login_password")
$oSubmitLogin=_IEGetObjById($oIE, "login_submit")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oUser, "user@name.com")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oPass, "password")
_IEAction($oSubmitLogin, "click")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
EndIf
Sleep(2500)
_IELoadWait($oIE)
_IEAction($oIE, "refresh")
Sleep(2000)
$oShareButton=_IEGetObjById($oIE, "global_share_button")
_IEAction($oShareButton, "click")
Sleep(6500)

$oMembersContainer=_IEGetObjById($oIE, "sf-members-container")
$oMembersDivs=_IETagNameGetCollection($oMembersContainer, "div")
For $oMembersDiv In $oMembersDivs
$class_value=$oMembersDiv.className
If String($class_value)="bs-row clearfix clear hover" Then
  $msg=String(_IEPropertyGet($oMembersDiv, "innertext"))
  MsgBox(0, "test", $msg)
EndIf
Next

Basically nothing happens after the click on ShareButton because what I'm searching for is not found in the source code.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks !

I'd suggest using DebugBar instead of what you are using and the source for the "simulated popup" is readily available.

Thanks for responding Dale !

The propblem isn't that I don't see the code for the "simulated popup" which is actually a div.

The problem is that the script doesn't "see" it because it is created dinamycally....

You have misconceptions about the DOM. If it is active in the browser, it is accessible by your script (with the exception of cross-domain security restrictions with frames, but that is not your problem here - I've looked at the site).

Prove it to yourself with:

ConsoleWrite(_IEDocReadHTML($oIE) & @CRLF)

Thanks a lot Dale !

You are absolutely right! all the code is there and by inspecting it properly I actually found out that the problem was that there was a space at the end of th class name: "bs-row clearfix clear ".

I also have another issue but about triggering a javascript function, but I'll first try to waste all the possibilities and probably create a new thread.

Again, many thanks.
