Click javascript link

[kyleindenial]

Hello,

Im trying to click the "Solution Downloads" link that gets populated by javascript. I've tried several things and looked at several posts related to this topic but have not been able to find a solution. I wish I could post the link but it would require the use to login to get to this step. 

Here is some of the HTML:

Downloads</h3><br/>
         <div>
            <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14px">Keep your solutions up to date and access your latest software downloads all in one place</span>
            <br/><br/>
            <a href="javascript:FlexeraRedirect()"><div class="rn_SecondaryButton" style="float:left">Solution Downloads</div></a>
            </div>
        </div>

Here is what I have tried:

_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Solution Downloads")

Local $divs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "div")
   For $div in $divs
    If $div.ClassName = "rn_SecondaryButton" Then
        _IEAction($div,"click")
endif

Next

$oIE.document.parentwindow.execscript("FlexeraRedirect()","javascript")

This returned "'FlexeraRedirect' is undefined."

I also tried _IELinkGetCollection.

Any ideas on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome!

It looks like you're on the right track. I imagine that your first method (_IELinkClickByText) won't work because the link actually has no text, the div contains the text. Your second method comes closest, I think, but you actually want to click on the parent of that div, as the div has no event fired on click, the link itself does. I honestly have no idea about your third method, that's something I've never tried.

So to fix it, I would try something like this: (untested)

Local $divs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "div")
; If there is an error, display it in the console
If @error Then ConsoleWrite("! _IETagNameGetCollection Error: " & @error)
For $div in $divs
    If $div.ClassName = "rn_SecondaryButton" Then
        ; Click on the parent element, should be a link
        _IEAction($div.parentElement,"click")
        ; If there is an error
        If @error Then
            ; Print the error
            ConsoleWrite("! _IEAction Error: " & @error)
        Else
            ; Got the correct div, stop testing them
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next

Actually, I suspect that the _IELinkClickByText will work because the Div is inside the link, so it's text would be considered when the search is performed. What happened when you tried this? Were there any errors logged in the Scite console?

Thank you both for your responses!

I tried both of your solutions, but still wasn't able to get to the next page.

However (I feel kind of stupid), I copied the link from the page that I need to go to and and used _IENavigate. It worked!

_IENavigate ($oIE,"mylink")

Not sure if this is best practice, but it works for what I need for now.

Thanks again,

Kyle
