My crystal ball is telling me that you are trying to automate the My Ebay page. Is this correct? 🔮🧞‍♂️

If so, you could try something like this --

$oIE.document.parentwindow.execScript('jQuery("div.dropdown.period-menu>a").click()')

your crystal ball work perfect  , but the code where i  insert i just did  do

$oIE.document.parentwindow.execScript('jQuery("div.dropdown.period-menu>a").click()')


    Local $oBtns = $oIE.document.GetElementsByTagName("a")
    For $oBtn In $oBtns
        $id = String($oBtn.classname())
        ;ConsoleWrite($id & @CRLF)

        If $id = "filter-content" Then
            _IEAction($oBtn, "click")
            ;_IEFormElementSetValue($oBtn, $sUser)
        EndIf
    Next

but not work

The code I posted was meant to open the dropdown menu, essentially replacing your section of code with this one line.

"Doesn't work" is an insufficient description of the outcome, so you will need to provide a more detailed response if you want further assistance.

sorry the code  work open but not remaning open , but  first i want  understund your code

this part of  your code 

div.dropdown.period-menu>a

identifies a correct menu , but where  do you find that  ? in inspect elements i dont saw or exist ? (and simply i dont saw )

 

[Danp2]

It's a jQuery selector used to locate a specific element. If you break it down, it does the following --

• Find any div elements with class "dropdown" and class "period-menu"
• Then locate the first child link

For more info, Google the phrase "jQuery selector" 😃

thankz again @Danp2 i look  in google , and of course i ask you something

 

[faustf]

i ask some many questions  sorry

i saw in page ropdown.period-menu and a string with javascript start with <a  but why you use > this char and not < ?

second questions if i want click over some menu opened  after , i dont understund how is possible to do that , sorry

 

[Danp2]

As I previously stated, it's a jQuery selector. The ">a" part performs the 2nd step I outlined above. If you wanted child input elements instead of links, then you would change it to ">input". See here for a quick "cheat" sheet. Obviously lots of other good info out there if you search for it. 😉

Here's the complete code to open the dropdown and click one of the available options --

$oIE.document.parentwindow.execScript('jQuery("div.dropdown.period-menu>a").click()')
$oIE.document.parentwindow.execScript('jQuery("div.dropdown.period-menu>ul>li>a:contains('2019')").click()')

I'm sure this could be done without jQuery, but I'll not be a participant in that journey. 😜
