<span class tags

[Jury 11]

I have searched but can't find anything that works for me - how do I retrieve the text nodes of <span class tags? Here is a canned search to the results I want to capture:

http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/Pages/search.aspx#

and I want to retrieve each of the text items which are nicely named :

<span class="document-link headline" title="Show Document">CASE OF DE SOUZA RIBEIRO v. FRANCE</span>

<span class="column01">22689/07</span>

<span class="column03">Judgment (Merits and Just Satisfaction)</span>

<span class="column04">Court (Grand Chamber)</span>

<span class="column04">13/12/2012</span>

<span class="fulltext">Preliminary objection joined to merits and dismissed (Article 34 - Victim) Violation of Article 13+8 - Right to an effective remedy (Article 13 - Effective remedy) (Article 8-2 - Interference Prescribed by law Article 8-1 - Respect for family life Respect for private life Article 8 - Right to respect for private and family life Expulsion) (Brazil) Pecuniary damage - claim dismissed Non-pecuniary damage - award</span>

My modified simple script from help seems like it should work for one <span class tag but it doesn't::

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ('http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/Pages/search.aspx#')
Sleep(3000)
$id = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "column01")
$oText1 = _IEPropertyGet($id, "innertext")
MsgBox(0, "Value", $oText1)
_IEQuit ($oIE)

Here is the sites structure if it helps:

Some error checking would show that your call to _IEGetObjByName is failing. You might want to try something like this:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IEAttach('http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/Pages/search.aspx#', "URL")

Local $oSpans = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "span")
For $oSpan In $oSpans
If StringLeft($oSpan.className,6) = 'Column' Then
MsgBox(0, "Info", "Class: " & $oSpan.className & " Text: " & $oSpan.innerText)
EndIf
Next

Thanks Adventurer is see this kind of variable

$oSpan.className

in this forum often and wish I could understand it more - I don't see it in the help pages where it would be something like:

($oIE, "column01")

is any ideas where I could learn more about it? Is it like javascript?
