Reading a specific attribute of an IE element.

[ComradVlad]

Hey guys,

Im trying to write a program that basically checks that if one checkbox is checked, than another corresponding checkbox is checked as well. However the site im working with is a bit beyond my level of expertise. Here is one of the fields in question and its HTML:

expandcollapse popup

<span class="blueText">Shower:</span>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr valign="top">
                            <td width="12%">&nbsp;</td>
                            <td width="2%">
                                <input type="hidden" name="hiddenField(hhapc_ShowerChair_Chk)"><input type="checkbox" name="value(hhapc_ShowerChair_Chk)" value="on" checked="checked" disabled="disabled" id="hhapc_ShowerChair_Chk" class="checkbox-field disabled"><input type="hidden" name="value(hhapc_ShowerChair_Chk)" value="on"><td>    
                                 <label class="blueText" for="hhapc_ShowerChair_Chk">Use shower chair</label>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                   </table>
                </td>
                <td align="center">
                     <input type="hidden" name="hiddenField(hhapc_Shower_Chk)"><input type="checkbox" name="value(hhapc_Shower_Chk)" value="on" checked="checked" disabled="disabled" class="checkbox-field disabled"><input type="hidden" name="value(hhapc_Shower_Chk)" value="on"></td>
                <td>
                    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="table-layout:fixed">
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <input type="text" name="value(hhapc_ShowerFreq_Txt)" maxlength="30000" value="" readonly="readonly" style="width:100%" class="text-field readonly"></td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="table-layout:fixed">
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <input type="text" name="value(hhapc_ShowerNote_Txt)" maxlength="30000" value="" readonly="readonly" style="width:100%" class="text-field readonly"></td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </td>
                <td align="center">
                     <input type="hidden" name="hiddenField(hhapc_ShowerPerform_Chk)"><input type="checkbox" name="value(hhapc_ShowerPerform_Chk)" value="on" checked="checked" class="checkbox-field"></td>
                <td>
                    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="table-layout:fixed">
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <input type="text" name="value(hhapc_ShowerPerform_Txt)" maxlength="30000" value="" style="width:100%" class="text-field"></td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>

 

I can get the element by its ID which is "hhapc_ShowerChair_Chk" but I'm not sure how to see if it is checked. Furthermore I cant seem to be able to get the other checkbox objects.  "hhapc_Shower_Chk" and "hhapc_ShowerPerform_Chk". Are they part of the first object or are they separate objects entirely? Basically is it possible to check that if hhapc_Shower_Chk is checked, than hhapc_ShowerPerform_Chk is checked as well?

Take a look at _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect in the help file.

Have you tried with _IEGetObjByName? These fields are oddly named (probably because of some javascript framework), but I would try like this --

$oElement = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "value(hhapc_ShowerPerform_Chk)")

Well that worked... Simple enough lol, thought it would be way more complicated. Then just calling object.checked will return true if checked and false if not checked. I was overthinking things. Thanks!

You should also be able to use this object with _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect like the first one.
