IE - Find text, click 100px to the left of text.

[Glutch]

Hello!

I've been having a big struggle figuring out how to solve this problem. So basically i want AutoIt to search for a specific text. For example "Hello" and then click 100px to the left of that text. I'm creating the script for Internet Explorer.

How i would solve this problem as a human is simply:

1. CTRL+F "Hello"
2. Drag mouse & click

I would greatly appreciate a solution to this, and im completely new to AutoIt so ELI5!

_IEGetObjectById does not work here in this case, and i dont know how to click 100 pixels left of said object.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

I suggest you have a look at the IE UDF that comes with AutoIt.

Edit:

I just noticed that you have tried the UDF already.

Can you please post the script, a link to the URL you try to automate and a description of the error you get (if any).

Provide a url that we can test on, if you can't/won't use the url you're actually working on, then you can:

1.  Find a site that is similar to your issue that we can use.

2.  Create html that we can run in a browser that demonstrates your issue that we can test on.

Thank you for the answers. I solved it like this
 

Send ("{CTRLDOWN}")

   Send ("f")

   Send ("f") ; donno why i need this, but i do

   Send ("f") ; donno why i need this, but i do

   Send ("f") ; donno why i need this, but i do

   Send ("{CTRLUP}")

   MouseClick("Left", 244, 68)

   Send ("Hello")

   MouseClick("Left", 119, 836)

Its a bad solution, but it works everytime. Even though the list it searches through has 100 different rows.
