Clicking on a web tag with _ieaction

[dar100111]

Hi Everyone. 
  
I used the script below on a webpage I need to click a button on. It went through a ton of message boxes until it found the button I'm looking for.

Tagname: BUTTON

innerText:Go

   
 
 $oElements = _IETagNameAllGetCollection($oIE)
For $oElement In $oElements
MsgBox(0, "Element Info", "Tagname: " & $oElement.tagname & @CR & "innerText: " & $oElement.innerText)
Next
 

I'm not sure how to save the tag as a variable, let's call it $tag, so that I can _ieAction($tag, "click") to click on this button.  Since it didn't have an ID I had to resort to this.  Does anyone have any knowledge on the syntax for this?  I'm just not sure how to tell it to save the exact tag on the webpage to my $tag.

Attached a screenshot

Thank you very much!

What does the HTML look like for the desired element?

Even if you had to loop through all of the elements until you found the one you wanted, you should be able to do something like this:

$oElements = _IETagNameAllGetCollection($oIE)
For $oElement In $oElements
  If $oElement.tagname = "BUTTON" And $oElement.innerText = "Go" Then
    _IEAction($oElement, "click")
    ExitLoop
  Endif
Next

; Get a collection of all BUTTON objects
$oButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "BUTTON")
; Loop through each element in the collection
For $oButton In $oButtons
    ; check for an element with an innerText "Go"
    If String($oButton.innerText) = "Go" Then
        ; Save the current element to a variable
        $oButton2Save = $oButton
        ; Exit the for loop now that we have found the go button
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next
