Can I click a Javascript object?

[mikesmith]

Hi,

I am trying to automate the clicking or activation of a javascript object. It's a login "button" and when you click on it it posts your enter details via javascript. This is the code when I right click and "copy link address":

javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("$main$ArticleControl$lnkLogin", "", true, "Details", "", false, true))

This is what I get from Firebug

<a id="main_ArticleControl_lnkLogin" href='javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("$main$ArticleControl$lnkLogin", "", true, "Details", "", false, true))'></a>

Anyone have any clue whether it's actually possible or how to do it? Any browser will do...

Thanks!

Maybe you can call the JS-Function manually?

You can call it like this:

$sCall = 'javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("$main$ArticleControl$lnkLogin", "", true, "Details", "", false, true))'
_IENavigate($oIE, $sCall)
