clicking a Div button

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi 

 

I'm trying to click a button and tried a few different ways

 

This is the HTML for the button 

<button class="btn btn-info dim" style="float: right;" onclick="performSearch()">Search</button>

So I tried this

 

$oSubmitClick = _IEGetObjByName($oIE,"btn btn-info dim")
_IEAction($oSubmitClick, "click")
_IELoadWait($oIE,2000)

But it doesn't work

That's because the property "name" doesn't exist in that element, as you can see.
You should get it through the property "ClassName"; there are plenty samples on the Forum.

P.S.: always add some error checking to your code, so you can see what is going on

If several buttons have got the same classname, you might try _IETagNameGetCollection (button), then loop through the collection looking for innertext == "Search"

Hmm 

 

So i tried this too 😕 

 

Local $activeButtons= _IEGetObjById($oIE, "clientSearch")
Sleep(5000)

Local $oButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, $activeButtons)
For $oButton In $oButtons
    ;~ Check if Button InnerText equals Log In and perform an action.
    ;~ Uncomment the _IEAction line below to submit the form.
    If $oButton.InnerText = "Search" Then
        MsgBox(64, 'Search Found', 'Button found with value: ' & $oButton.InnerText, 4)
        _IEAction($oButton, 'click')
        Sleep(6000)
        _IEFormElementSetValue($oButton, "AutoIt IE.au3")
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result    ", "Test passed: can't find search box " &  $oButton.InnerText & "", 4)
            FileWrite($TestLog, @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test passed: Can't find search box" & $ObjID.innerText)
     Else
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result    ", "Test Failed: can't find search box " &  $oButton.InnerText & "", 4)
            FileWrite($TestLog, @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test failed: Can't find search box" & $ObjID.innerText)


    EndIf
 Next

And the button I want is in this id

<div class="tab-pane active" id="clientSearch">
          
                        <td colspan="2">
                            <div class="text-right">
                                <button class="btn btn-info dim" style="float: right;" onclick="performSearch()">Search</button>

If you put this after your tagnameGetCollection (buttons) :

MsgBox (0,"Debug",IsObj ($oButtons))

What does it say to you ?

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

I get a return of 1

Hmmm, you are right.  But it shouldn't cause your tagname is an object while it should be a string...Well I suppose it is kind of a feature.  But if you test .lenght of the collection, you will see it is emply (0).

Try changing this line to --

Local $oButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection($activeButtons, 'button')

 

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

I tried amending that line but no joy

By scite output you just mean this right? 

 

>"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\EliteAutomationKnowYourClient\Framework\TestEnv.au3"    
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEAttach, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch
>Exit code: 0    Time: 79.02

Any further assistance on this? 

 

To recap I'm using this code

Local $oElements = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "btn btn-info")

For $oElement In $oElements

   if $oElement.classname=="AVI673" then

     _IEAction ($oElement, "click")

   EndIf
;ConsoleWrite ( $oElement.classname & @CRLF)
 next

To try to access this html

Also I tried this and couldn't click either 😕

local $oButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "btn btn-info")

For $oButton In $oButtons
   ;~ Check if Button InnerText equals Log In and perform an action.
   ;~ Uncomment the _IEAction line below to submit the form.
   If $oButton.InnerText = "AVI673" Then
       MsgBox(64, 'AVI673 Found', 'Button found with value: ' & $oButton.InnerText, 4)
       _IEAction($oButton, 'click')
        Sleep(6000)
        _IEFormElementSetValue($oButton, "AutoIt IE.au3")
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result    ", "Test passed: can't find button box " &  $oButton.InnerText & "", 4)
            FileWrite($TestLog, @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test passed: Can't find button box" & $ObjID.innerText)
     Else
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result    ", "Test Failed: can't find button box " &  $oButton.InnerText & "", 4)
            FileWrite($TestLog, @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test failed: Can't find button box" & $ObjID.innerText)


   EndIf
Next

"btn btn-info" is not a tag name, tags are "div", "tr" or "button", here is a basic working example of clicking a button tag.

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("https://sweetalert2.github.io/", 1)
Local $oButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "button")
If @error Then MsgBox(4096, "", "Error - Unable getting button collection" & @CRLF & "Error : " & @error)
If IsObj($oButtons) Then
    For $oButton In $oButtons
        If StringInStr($oButton.innerText, "Show normal alert") Then
            MsgBox(4096, "", "Clicking Show normal message")
            _IEAction($oButton, "Click")
        EndIf
        If StringInStr($oButton.innerText, "Show success message") Then
            MsgBox(4096, "", "Clicking Show success message button")
            _IEAction($oButton, "Click")
        EndIf
    Next
EndIf

 

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

So this would be correct? 

local $oButtons = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "button")

For $oButton In $oButtons
   ;~ Check if Button InnerText equals Log In and perform an action.
   ;~ Uncomment the _IEAction line below to submit the form.
   If $oButton.InnerText = "AVI673" Then
       MsgBox(64, 'AVI673 Found', 'Button found with value: ' & $oButton.InnerText, 4)
       _IEAction($oButton, 'click')
        Sleep(6000)
        _IEFormElementSetValue($oButton, "AutoIt IE.au3")
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result    ", "Test passed: can't find button box " &  $oButton.InnerText & "", 4)
            FileWrite($TestLog, @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test passed: Can't find button box" & $ObjID.innerText)
     Else
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result    ", "Test Failed: can't find button box " &  $oButton.InnerText & "", 4)
            FileWrite($TestLog, @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test failed: Can't find button box" & $ObjID.innerText)


   EndIf
Next
