Can't figure out how to click a certain element on IE


 Share

Recommended Posts

Okay, so this is a piece of the HTML code when I inspect the element

I used PixelSearch before but I'm trying to make this all work with IE being hidden.

This is what I got so far

$Site = _IECreate("google.com")
$HTML = _IEDocReadHTML($Site)
If Not StringInStr($HTML, '"states" : {},') Then
    ;CODE TO CLICK THE EXIT BUTTON
EndIf

But I'm not sure how to click the EXIT button because I also try and look inside the HTML for the close class, and I guess that's all different than what inspect element shows because when I search 

<a href="#" class="close">, I get 3 results and these are what I get

Okay so, I went ahead and found the index numbers of all the links on the page by using

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Dim $linklist[1000]
$oIE = _IECreate("https://www.website.com")
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)
$iNumLinks = @extended
MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found")
$i=0
For $oLink In $oLinks
    $linklist[$i] = $oLink.href
    $i+=1
Next
_ArrayDisplay($linklist)

Except, the fucking index's change every refresh, so I went ahead and did this

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Global $aBans
$sDelete = "https://www.website.com#"

Dim $linklist[100]
$oIE = _IECreate("https://www.website.com")
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
$iNumLinks = @extended
$i = 0
For $oLink In $oLinks
    If $oLink.href == $sDelete Then
        $linklist[$i] = $i

    Else
        $linklist[$i] = ""
    EndIf
    $i += 1
Next

For $i = 0 To UBound($linklist) - 1
    If Not $linklist[$i] = "" Then
        _IELinkClickByIndex($oIE, $i)
    EndIf
Next

But there are multiple buttons with the same Link Address, so that doesn't work either =/

Alright, just throwing out more information here lol.

 

I've also tried

 

$XButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection($Site, "a")
For $XButton In $XButtons
    If $XButton.classname = "close" Then
        _IEAction($XButton, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next
$XButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection($ite, "a")
For $XButton In $XButtons
    If $XButton.classname = "close" And $XButton.href = "#" Then
        _IEAction($XButton, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

And also

$XButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection($Site, "i")
For $XButton In $XButtons
    If $XButton.classname = "icon i-close" Then
        _IEAction($XButton, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

 

But none of these work. Any ideas, ANYONEEE

I understand why you'd obviously like to the URL so you can go ahead and test it yourself, but I supplied the HTML :P

you supplied a picture no HTML where i can copy out. When you don't like that otherss can test than you don't realy want help.

Yeah sure, I'll go ahead and copy paste the HTML, but you saying that I don't want other people's help is obviously incorrect when I show that I've gone through lengths to explain what I'm doing. It just slipped my mind to post the actual HTML instead of a picture

Try this:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>

_Example()
Func _Example()

    Local $sTitle = ''
    Local $oIE = _IEAttach($sTitle)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, '')
    
    ; you solution should start here
    Local $sHTML = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)
    Local $aElement = StringRegExp($sHTML, '(?is)<a href="#".*?class="icon i-close.*?/a>', $STR_REGEXPARRAYGLOBALMATCH)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, '')

    Local $oIE_ATags_coll = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, 'a')
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, '')    

    Local $oATag_Selected = Null
    For $oTag_enum In $oIE_ATags_coll
        If $oTag_enum.outerhml = $aElement[0] Then
            $oATag_Selected = $oTag_enum
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next

    If $oATag_Selected <> Null Then _IEAction($oATag_Selected,'click')
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, '')
    
EndFunc    ;==>_Example
