How can I click on a class object in ie?

[computergroove]

<DIV class=navbar-header><BUTTON class=navbar-toggle type=button data-target=".navbar-collapse" data-toggle="collapse">
<I style="COLOR: #fff" class="fa fa-bars"></I></BUTTON>

Trying to get IE to click on the above control but I cannot figure out the syntax.

I don't like IE UDF, is too slow, learn about http and use winHTTP, is easy to use for simple tasks like this one.

check out this example:

Assuming you want to click the DIV you were searching for above (though most buttons are <inputs>)

 

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.test.com", 0, 0, 1, 0)
 
$oCorrectObj = ""
 
$tags = $oIE.document.GetElementsByTagName("div")
For $tag in $tags
$class_value = $tag.GetAttribute("class")
If string($class_value) = "levelBar" Then
$oCorrectObj = $tag
 
MsgBox(0, "Level: ", "Level found :)")
ExitLoop
 
EndIf
Next
 
If IsObj ( $oCorrectObj ) Then
 
_IEAction ($oCorrectObj, "click")
 
 
EndIF
 
 
_IEQuit ($oIE)

 

 

edit: just realized this is a super old post, but the same structure can be used for whatever your element is

 

if there's only a button with navbar-toggle class is straight forward

I dont mind using ff or chrome but the documentation is equally as perplexing to me. The above code did not work to click the button. Any other suggestions?

weird, I replaced everything thats needed, you just need to specify the actual url

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.test.com", 0, 0, 1, 0)
 
$oCorrectObj = ""
 
$tags = $oIE.document.GetElementsByTagName("BUTTON ")
For $tag in $tags
$class_value = $tag.GetAttribute("class")
If string($class_value) = "navbar-toggle" Then
$oCorrectObj = $tag
 
MsgBox(0, "Level: ", "Level found :)")
ExitLoop
 
EndIf
Next
 
If IsObj ( $oCorrectObj ) Then
 
_IEAction ($oCorrectObj, "click")
 
 
EndIF
 
 
_IEQuit ($oIE)

 

I dont mind using ff or chrome but the documentation is equally as perplexing to me.

yeah, I know, but once you learned the basics of http it will be very simple, use _WinHttpSimpleSendRequest() for submiting whatever that button does.

PS: In IE you can view the page, in winhttp you work only with code, you have to know what you want to do and how requests work.

Is simplespy the UIA_V0_51.zip download? I dont see simplespy.au3 available for download in the top post.

Edit - Yes it is.
