Multiple buttons with no id - (Moved)

[Pagi]

Hello guys, I am still learning AutoIt, especially button clicks and I´ve got this problem. I dont´know how can I click the button without id, when there are other buttons with same class. Mb some index or something like that. I tried this method and it returns me error 

Func att()
$oButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection ($oIE, "button") ; 
For $oButton In $oButtons
If $oButton.class = "awesome-button" Then
_IEAction ($oButton, "click")
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next
   EndFunc

<button class="awesome-button " onclick="click(null, '0', 1, 0, '')">Click</button>
<button class="awesome-button " onclick="click(null, '0', 2, 0, '')">Click</button>
<button class="awesome-button " onclick="click(null, '0', 3, 0, '')">Click</button>
<button class="awesome-button " onclick="click(null, '0', 4, 0, '')">Click</button>

Each button has the same text. The only different is between that numbers (I guess it´s some kind of index or something like that)

Any advices?

what error did you get? ( usually the error returned is useful to identify the problem.... )
Since you are working within a function scope, have you declared the $oIE variable as Global in the main script scope..?
Also, have a look the third parameter of the _IETagNameGetCollection function, using that parameter you can select just one of the many buttons returned...

What's the html like surrounding them?

 

If, for an example, they are in a table, you can get the specific row, and find that rows button

@Chimp  "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3" (1811) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
Return SetError($_IESTATUS_Success, $oTemp.GetElementsByTagName($sTagName).length, $oTemp.GetElementsByTagName($sTagName))
Return SetError($_IESTATUS_Success, $oTemp^ ERROR

I get this error or script crashes

And yes ofc I declared $oIE as Global. I know about that IETagNameGetCollection function there is an index which can I use but not working for me..

In this line I tried to add index

$oButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection ($oIE, "button", 2) ; 2 is an index of 2nd button but it returns me similar error or script crashes

@jdelaney No there is not any <table> tag if you mean that, just the <div> tag

[jdelaney]

Notice that your error is in reference to $oTemp, and your provided code does not include that variable.  Unable to reproduce.

Also, it doesn't NEED to be a table, that was just a suggestion.  If the div includes some id or unique attribute, you can use that.  If not, look at it's parent node up the chain until you do find something.

 

Edit: ah, the function includes an $oTemp.  Turn on the error handler, and you will be fine.

@jdelaney It appears that the error is coming from within IE.au3

[jdelaney]

Yeah, edited my last one.  In my experience, the browser can periodically be in a state where the DOM is not accessible.  The error handler will catch that, and proceed.
