<a href="index.php=4143b27b41db0a40c499202865c3e24d" class="menuitem " target="\_self"> "Menu Item 1" </a>

Can you tell me if it´s possible to click this menu button? If yes, how? Cause I have no idea, I think i should use _IETagNameGetCollection

How about using _IELinkClickByText?

[Pagi]

 

Func menu()
   $currenturl = _IEPropertyGet($oIE,"locationurl")
$oDivs = _IETagNameGetCollection($currenturl, "div")
For $oDiv In $oDivs
   If StringInStr($oDiv.innertext,"Menu Item 1") Then
   _IEAction($oDiv, "click")
Else
   ConsoleWrite($oDiv.innertext)
EndIf
Next
EndFunc

Like this? Because it does not work..

Not sure why you are doing this, as you can't pass the URL as the first parameter of _IETagNameGetCollection. Try this instead --

$oDivs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "div")

However, I was suggesting to use _IELinkClickByText, like this --

_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Menu Item 1")

This may not work given the fact that it is part of a menu.

[Pagi]

$oClasses = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "class")
For $oClass in $oClasses
   If StringInStr($oClass.innertext, "Menu Item 1") Then
      _IEAction($oClass, "click")
   EndIf
Next

 

I tried to identify it by the class but it still doesn´t work. Any other idea? Or is there any mistake?

Danp, thanks for your reply, _IELinkClickByText does´nt work and also I don´t want to solve it like that. I just need to identify some element and then click on the menu button.

 

[Danp2]

Maybe this is what you want --

$oDivs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "div")
For $oDiv in $oDivs
   If StringInStr($oDiv.innertext, "Menu Item 1") Then
      _IEAction($oDiv, "click")
   EndIf
Next

That´s basically the same code that I wrote..

[Danp2]

Right ... Except you targeted 'class' whereas I targeted 'div'.

[Pagi]

But there is no div in HTML code..  Only tag <a> and class but problem with class is, that the same class has got more elements

[Danp2]

Ok... but you had previously shown code where you were searching by div, so this led me to believe that the link was contained within a div.

You've only shown us a single element, so it's not possible to guess the context that it resides in. Suggest that you shown us more of the surrounding HTML code. Also, it would be good to know if there are any events attached to these elements. If so, which ones?

[Pagi]

Unfortunately, I dont see there any events.

[Danp2]

Have you tried accessing the div element and then the contained links? Something like this --

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "submenu2")
$oLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oDiv, "a")

For $oLink In $oLinks
   If StringInStr($oLink.innerText,"Menu Item 1") Then
      _IEAction($oLink, "click")
      ExitLoop
   EndIf
Next

It´s working! But only on Main Button. I think the reason are apostrophes. I tried to include them in code but nothing...

[Danp2]

@Pagi Not sure what you mean here by "Main Button" and apostrophes. You'll need to provide further details if you want additional help.

[Pagi]

It´s not working on other buttons, only on button called "Main Button".  Look at the screenshot up and u will understand.

[Danp2]

You should show your code because the code I posted was intended to target "Menu Item 1". If you've changed the code so that it now works for "Main Button", then it helps if you include these details in your responses.

Also, since you posted a screenshot instead of the actual HTML code, it isn't possible for me to take a closer look at the HTML.

[Pagi]

Page is not uploaded yet so <a> href links will not work. Here is the offline file of the HTML. That´s just random links I put in

Post your code.

[Pagi]

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "submenu2")
$oLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oDiv, "a")

For $oLink In $oLinks
   If StringInStr($oLink.innerText,"Menu Item 1") Then
      _IEAction($oLink, "click")
   EndIf
   ExitLoop
   Next
EndFunc

Doesn´t work. If I write in code "Main Button" to target Main Button like this,

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "submenu2")
$oLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oDiv, "a")

For $oLink In $oLinks
   If StringInStr($oLink.innerText,"Main Button") Then
      _IEAction($oLink, "click")
   EndIf
   ExitLoop
   Next
EndFunc

 

it works. But for menu items 1,2,3,4,5 not.
