how can i click the tab in a web page using auto it

[Mercy]

I inspect that Security tab in the webpage .I get the html element below:

<td tabindex="-1" align="center" class="infaTabsetSimpleTabSetTop" nowrap="true" valign="middle" onfocus="app_details_browse.$47()">Security</td>

If iam using the class name and trying to click the element. Iam getting "found" but cannot click as all the tab contains same class.

If iam using the onfocus attribute which is different for every tab and trying to click the element, the element cannot be found.

Local $oFound = ""
Local $oBtns = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "td")

For $oBtn In $oBtns
    ;If String($oBtn.onfocus) ="app_details_browse.$47()" Then
    If String($oBtn.classname) = "infaTabsetSimpleTabSetTop" Then
     $oFound = $oBtn
   EndIf
Next

If IsObj($oFound) Then
    _IEAction ($oFound, "focus")
    _IEAction ($oFound, "click")
    MsgBox(16, "Success", "found")
Else
    MsgBox(16, "Failed", "Not found.")
EndIf

Have you tried using _IEPropertyGet to retrieve the innertext and then compare to "Security"?

Added the _IEPropertyGet and got the innertext as "Security" in the message box. So im pointing the right object but it is not clicking the tab.

Local $iScreenX = _IEPropertyGet($oFound, "innertext")
 MsgBox(0,"",$iScreenX)
If IsObj($oFound) Then
    _IEAction ($oFound, "click")
    MsgBox(16, "Success", "found")

Trying with the below code .. it is going into the if statement and displaying the msgbox as clicked but it is not clicking.

If String($oFound.innertext) = "Security" Then
_IEAction ($oFound, "click")
MsgBox(16, "Success", "Clicked")
EndIF

It's difficult to give additional suggestions when the only thing you've shown us is a screen shot. Have you logged into the site prior to running your code?

Can you try the following looking at the actions of the td it only has an OnFocus action, nothing for OnClick, unless they have some other code which is being fired based upon the OnFocus and the Class Name.  Hope that makes sense.

If $oFound.innertext = "Security" Then
    _IEAction ($oFound, "focus")
    MsgBox(16, "Success", "Clicked")
EndIF

Yes, tried with this also. the web page is not loading to the page which security tab has to load.

And when we do manually, we need to click that tab and not to focus.

Have you tried bringing up the Developer Tools using F12 and examining the events attached to the tab? That's generally the first thing I do when I encounter a situation where the standard _IE* commands aren't working for me.

Maybe it needs to receive the Onfocus event before clicking. Try:

$oFound.FireEvent("OnFocus")
