_IE Click function

[avidovi]

Hello all, 

i need to run a test on a web site: "http://www.equities.com/directories/hedge-funds"

so obviously i used:

Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.equities.com/directories/hedge-funds")

but now i need to click every box in the page (Total of 15) and click the one by one.

i cannot get the data to click them.

Can anyone help??

Thank in advance

Look in the help file for a function called: _IELinkGetCollection()

In the help there's the following example:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $oIE = _IE_Example("basic")
Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
Local $iNumLinks = @extended

Local $sTxt = $iNumLinks & " links found" & @CRLF & @CRLF
For $oLink In $oLinks
    $sTxt &= $oLink.href & @CRLF
Next
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Link Info", $sTxt)

Then you could just use the function _IEAction() to click each link.

Something like this maybe:

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.equities.com/directories/hedge-funds")
Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)

For $oLink In $oLinks
    _IEAction($oLink,"Click")
Next

I hope this makes sense.

PS: I haven't tested this script, but got a feeling it should work as is.

Thanks for the reply,

But how do i know on where the script clicked? i need to click all of the boxes in a loop..

[avidovi]

OK

i tried the example from "Cascius" and i know the links i need to click.

the problem is how do i isolate those links:

from all the others in orders to click them one by one??

Here's one way to accomplish this:

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.equities.com/directories/hedge-funds")

Local $oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, 'jr-listing-column')
Local $oLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oDiv, 'a')

For $oLink In $oLinks
    ConsoleWrite($oLink.href & @CRLF)
Next

work Like a charm 

thanks
