ie click button

[pcjunki]

 how do I click on a button in ie?

I've looked and poked around the forums, tried all kinds of scripts, but still no luck

how do I launch a website, and click on a button?

here is the html code for the button I would like to click on

 

<header>
<button id="btnClickme">CLICKHERE</button> 
<div id="Clickme_menu" 
class="offscreen">
<div id="Clickme_menu_content">

</div>
</div>

im also a beginner but try this one

#include <IE.au3>

Call("click")

Func click()

    Global $oIE = _IECreate("thewebsite..")

Local $botten  = _IEGetObjByid ($oIE, "Clickme_menu_content")

$botten = _IEaction ("click")

endfunc

the second param of _iegetobjbyid should be the value of the id attribute, not "id"

"Clickme_menu_content"

The _ieaction first param should be your $botten.

or else you could try this one

Local $oButs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "button")
For $oBut In $oButs
   If StringInStr($oBut.innertext, "CLICKHERE") Then _IEAction($oBut, "click")

btnClickme remmber that in this must always the first word of a div, try 

#include <IE.au3>
Call("click")
Func click()
    Global $oIE = _IECreate("http://website.com/")
Local $oButs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "button")For $oBut 
In $oButs   If StringInStr($oBut.innertext, "CLICKHERE") Then
