Expanding sub-option in the "Context-like" control inside IE


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm trying to expand the sub-option in the IE.
On this page:
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g187791-Rome_Lazio-Hotels.html
there is a "span"-button called "More"

How can I expand Hotel class, Amenities, or Hotel brand?

I've tried this:
 

#include <IE.au3>

Global $oIE

_Main()

Func _Main()
    ConsoleWrite('................................................................................' & @CRLF)
    _StartIE()                  ;Start Internet Explorer
    _LoadWebPage()              ;Load webpage in the Internet Explorer
    _expandControl()            ;expand the hotel class
    If IsObj($oIE) Then _IEQuit($oIE)
    ConsoleWrite('................................................................................' & @CRLF)
EndFunc

Func _StartIE()
    ConsoleWrite('> Info - Starting IE... please wait...' & @CRLF)
    $oIE = _IECreate()
    If @error Then
        ConsoleWrite('! Error - Starting IE failed... script will now be terminated...' & @CRLF)
        Exit
    EndIf
    ConsoleWrite('> Info - IE started successfully.' & @CRLF)
EndFunc

Func _LoadWebPage()
    Local $pageLoaded = False
    Do
        If NOT IsObj($oIE) Then
            ConsoleWrite('! Error - IE is no longer a valid object, script will now be terminated...' & @CRLF)
            MsgBox(BitOR(48, 262144), 'Error', 'IE is no longer a valid object.' & @CRLF & _
                                @CRLF & _

                    Local $allDivs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oneUL, 'div')

the "Inspect element" is giving me this:

<ul class="expandFilterItems more">
    <li class="hotel_class expandFilterItem">
        <div class="nameItem sprite-filter-expand">
            Hotel class
        </div>
        <div class="toggleItem">
        </div>
    </li>
    <li class="amenities expandFilterItem">
        <div class="nameItem sprite-filter-expand">
            Amenities
        </div>
        <div class="toggleItem">
        </div>
    </li>
    <li class="hotel_brand expandFilterItem">
        <div class="nameItem sprite-filter-expand">
            Hotel brand
        </div>
        <div class="toggleItem">
        </div>
    </li>
</ul>

I have also found this element, and I think these two must be connected somehow:

I have tried to simulate both, clicking onto the first element, and simulating (calling "onclick" function from the 2nd element), and neither was expanding the "Hotel class"...

Thanks for suggestion on the greasmonkey, but shouldn't this function do the same as greasemonkey would:?
 

Local $allPs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, 'p')
For $oneP in $allPs
    If $oneP.id == 'zfa_toggle' Then
        ConsoleWrite($oneP.classname & @CRLF);just to see that I have the right element
        Local $oEvt = $oIE.document.createEvent("HTMLEvents")
        $oEvt.initEvent("click", True, False)
        $oneP.dispatchEvent($oEvt)
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

p.s. this last function works only on IE9+, and it's calling "onclick" function from selected element/object.

I remember reading somewhere the IE functions had a spot of bother with the newer version of IE. I'm not the best at the IE controls but I would assume making the greasemonkey script display the options you want as a default would be a much better solution for you. In this manner you would not have to click on anything.

I tried in newer and older IE, it makes no difference. Also, I'm kinda forced not to use any other additional plugin, only my script, so I can't really experiment with greasemonkey scripts, but tnx for suggestion.

Anyway, I did make it work, but with controlclick.
I don't like controlclick because it will open adds and popups because it simulates real mouse click:

Is there more elegant solution? Without using controlclick?
