IE - Click on button by classname

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm still having problems activating a specific subwidow in a program:

Situation:

2 programs with a different name, each has a subwindow (similar to a toolbar). both these subwindows have the same name. example:

'Program 1' - > subwindow 'toolbar'

'Program 2' - > subwindow 'toolbar'

Is there a way to activate/reference the subwindow in a -specific- main window, e.g.: activate the 'toolbar' specifically in 'program1' or 'Program2' instead of just activating 'toolbar', which will activate the last used one of these two subwindows?

I tried everything from name to class, the spy tool and so on. I can't reference by text or class because all of these change every time. So I need something like a command that says WinActavateIn(Program1,toolbar) or omething even better :-)

Does anyone have a good idea how to achieve this?

Then my solution won't work, it would return the first one found. that's the case you got a site where you got 2 with same class name?

I have another issue, 

I want to click on the button "smart recorder". But it's type is "a" ? no div or input. using "a" does not seem to work, Here's a screenshot, and my script:

 

_IELinkClickByClass("http://rdremedy01/ux/smart-it", "navigation-bar__item-label ng-binding", "a")


Func _IELinkClickByClass($link, $classname, $tag)   
$oIE = _IECreate($link)
Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, $tag)
For $oInput In $oInputs
    If $oInput.classname == $classname Then _IEAction($oInput, "click")
Next
EndFunc

Here's the inspected element: 

 

<a class="navigation-bar__item-label ng-binding" href="javascript:">Smart Recorder</a>

check this:

_IELinkClickByText($oIE,'Smart Recorder')

 

or this:

Local $oTags_coll = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE,'a')

For $oTag_enum In $oTags_coll
    If $oTag_enum.outerhtml = '<a class="navigation-bar__item-label ng-binding" href="javascript:">Smart Recorder</a>' Then
        $oTag_enum.click
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

Sorry for the trouble, I figured it out,

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("https://www.bibob.dk/")

Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
For $oInput In $oInputs
    If $oInput.classname == "loginbutton login_wrap_button" Then _IEAction($oInput, "click")
Next

 

Nice.  I just came looking for something like this.  I have a button with no name or ID as well.  This method worked for me,  Thanks.
