How to access a single Link that has been corraled....

[tommytx]

I have one single link pinned down in the last part of the program and I cannot figure out how to get access to it. Can someone help?

; This section works just fine and finds 201 links

; **************************************************

Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)

Local $iNumLinks = @extended

MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found"); Says links found 201

; This section works just fine and finds 1 link

; ***********************************************

Local $oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oLinks, "an1")

Local $iNumLinks = @extended

MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found") ; Says 1 link found

; Need to know how to address the one link I have found..

; Tried all the stuff below but nothing works.

;ConsoleWrite($oDiv.$oLinks.href)

;ConsoleWrite($oLinks.$oDiv.href)

;ConsoleWrite($oDiv.href)

Just for info... the id=an1 above is the location that has the one single link that I need to be able to access... the other 200 have been eliminated.

If anyone wonders or even cares why the code is not in the code box, it no longer allows me to use the code box... anyone know what the problem is.. maybe when I reboot it will be ok for future posts.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Example

The Link of your Profile present at the first post in your profile name would be returned in the MsgBox

Note that this example will not work if user would not have logged into his account

#include <IE.au3>

$sID = "anonymous_element_2"
$sLink = "http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/148651-how-to-access-a-single-link-that-has-been-corraled/"

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
$oIE = _IECreate( $sLink )
If @error Then Exit -1
$oLink = _IEGetObjById( $oIE, $sID )
If @error Then Exit -2

MsgBox( 64, "Href:", $oLink.Href )

Sorry but that went right over my head. The example of pulling my profile URL from the forum did not ring a bell in regard to what I am doing.. sorry.. its probably in there but I just can't pull it out...

Maybe I did not explain what I am trying to do clearly enough.

**************************************************************

Part 1 I scanned the entire page for links and found 201 and I don't want all 200, I just want all the ones located in the id=an1.

Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)

Local $iNumLinks = @extended

MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found"); Says 201 links found

Next I scanned the links that I thought I had corralled in the an1 id section.

and I believe by the report below its saying that id=an1 has a total of 1 of the 201 links. Now how do I access the one link that I have isolated.. are am I totally lost.....

; This section works just fine and finds 1 link

; ***********************************************

Local $oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oLinks, "an1")

Local $iNumLinks = @extended

MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found") ; Says 1 link found

I believe the there is only one link having the id an1

Hence you could supply _IEGetObjById the browser object and retrieve the element

Something like this should help

_IEErrorHandlerRegister() ;to check for errors
$oIE = _IECreate( "your website address" )
$oLink = _IEGetObjById( $oIE, "an1" ) ;get the element having ID an1

;Show its Href property
MsgBox( 64, "Href:", $oLink.Href )
