Get Status Of Form Element

[Ebenezer]

Hi everybody.

I'm trying to read values from a search result page. When all values have been read the script should navigate to the next result page until it runs out of results. At this point the "next" button would be disabled.

The "next" button is an form element of type submit.

I tried the following code:

Func _IE_formclick($ObjIE, $_find, $_form = 0)
   For $i = 1 To $ObjIE.document.forms ($_form) .elements () .length - 1
      If StringInStr($ObjIE.document.forms ($_form) .elements ($i) .outerHTML, $_find) > 0 Then
         $ObjIE.document.forms ($_form) .elements ($i) .click()
         Return 1
      EndIf
    Next
  Return -1
EndFunc

Unfortunately the script happily clicks the disabled button and returns "1". If someone could tell me how I can check if the button is disabled to exit my loop I would be grateful

Note: I can't use _IEFormSubmit since there are two submit buttons (prev. and next).

Thanks, Ebenezer

There is a .disabled boolean property you can check on the input element. It will be True if disabled, False by default.

So the syntax would be

If $ObjIE.document.forms($_form).elements($i).disabled = "True" Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Button is disabled")
EndIf

right? Sorry, I'm rather bad at this html/objects reference stuff :">

right, but it may be easier to do something like:

If Not $ObjIE.document.forms($_form).elements($i).disabled Then
;your click next page code
EndIf
