IE Click Button without Name or ID


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I seem to be having an issue trying to click a button. The whole goal is to login to the website listed below.

https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw/691728/aw?awh=r&awssk=XNwakvnQ&dard=1

For some reason, I'm unable to find a way to click the button as the button doesnt have a name or ID and I've been trying to to figure out how to use the TAG IE functions to my advantage, but to no avail. The button has a unique class name (i believe) "btnC".

Does anyone know a way to submit the login form?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Michael

Blue_Drache, you could have just linked the rules, or just quoted the part that was relevant.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

I guess I dont quite understand how this rule "Bypassing of security measures - log-in and security dialogs, CAPTCHAs, anti-bot agents, software activation, etc." when i'm using my login to the website. This isn't a bypass.. its a login. I'm clicking a button. I dont intend to give out my login to this website, nor do I intend to bypass its security measures with the use of AutoIT. I intend to use my login to download a spreadsheet daily. Feel free to ban me or whatever you would like, but I find it quite ridiculous if you truly believe that clicking a button on a website is considered bypassing their security measures.

Thanks!

Login scripts were removed from the rules. I do not see this as bypassing any type of security ( other than a login, which isn't security if you have an actual username and password ).

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Welcome to the world of CSS. The Login button is not a button at all, but just a table cell (TD) with a CSS class that makes it appear as a button.

There could be more elegant ways to do this, but this should work:

$oTDs = _IETagnameGetCollection($oIE, "TD")
For $oTD in $oTDs
    If String(_IEPropertyGet($oTD, "innertext")) = "Login " Then
        _IEAction($oTD, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
