[Solved] Web Based Automation


Recommended Posts

I tired your code;

_FFXPath returned OBJECT|FFau3.xpath

_FFcmd returned _FF_Cmd_err

 

I thought i would attempt some troubleshooting, to find more information. I changed _FFXPath($xref, "", 10) to return counts.

Here are my results.

$xref  = "//a[@class='cuesDrawerItemLink'][@id='cutree_2']"
$oLink = _FFXPath($xref)

;$oLink = 0

$xref  = "//a[@class='cuesDrawerItemLink'][@class='cuesNormalTreeDrawerItem']"
$oLink = _FFXPath($xref, "", 10)

;$oLink = 0

$xref  = "//a[@class='cuesDrawerItemLink'][@target='_self'][@title='']"
$oLink = _FFXPath($xref, "", 10)

;$oLink = 124

$xref  = "//a[@class='cuesDrawerItemLink'][@target='_self'][@title=''][@shape='']"
$oLink = _FFXPath($xref, "", 10)

;$oLink = 0

$xref  = "//a[@class='cuesDrawerItemLink'][@target='_self'][@title=''][@href='javascript:cuesInvokeDrawerURL('cutree','/cuadmin/ccm-import.do?op=newImport','parent.content','cutree_2')']"
$oLink = _FFXPath($xref, "", 10)

$oLink = 0

It shouldn't be. However, it isn't easy to "guess" at a solution when we can't access the site. One option would be for you to find a public site with similar coding. That way we could actually do some testing on our end.

Because Microsoft allowed programmers access to the COM API for the browser where Mozilla did not. The only way you can get any kind of access to automating FireFox is with a 3rd party addon. Microsoft built it into IE.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
