ie.au3 quick problem


Recommended Posts

Can't seem to read text associated with a tag or id. Trying to simply read the contents of a tag or and id to a variable. Not sure what I'm missing. I've gone through the IE help. I have a feeling I'm about to feel dumb. Code looks like this:

$wObjIE = _IECreate($wURL)
    $wTitle = _IETagNameGetCollection($wObjIE,"h3")
    MsgBox(0,"Title",$wTitle.name)
    _IEQuit($wObjIE)
oÝ÷ Ø    l¢ÚâyÛaÆ®¶­s` b33c·tö&¤RÒôT7&VFRb33c·uU$ b33c·uFFÆRÒôTvWDö&¤'æÖRb33c·tö&¤RÂgV÷C¶7FÃô6öçFVçEÆ6TöÆFW%õFFÆTVFW"gV÷C² ×6t&÷ÂgV÷CµFFÆRgV÷C²Âb33c·uFFÆRææÖR ôUVBb33c·tö&¤R

Partial source of the page I am trying to read is this:

<div id="productBox" class="purchaseContainer">
        <div id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_SaleTagPanel" class="saleTag">
            <h3 id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_TitleHeader">Page Item Title</h3>

All I need is for $wTitle to equal "Page Item Title". I need to be able to "read" what is contained in the object.

Edit: I have thought about reading the source into a variable, but then I would need to strip out the text between the tags and somehow only pull the Nth tag, etc.

The first example returns a collection, so you need to specify which instance you want... _IETagNameGetCollection($wObjIE,"h3", 0). In both cases you don't want .name, but rather .innerText

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Try this:

#include <IE.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister ()

$sUrl = "your url here"
$oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
$oTags = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "h3")
For $oTag In $oTags
    If $oTag.Id == "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_TitleHeader" Then
        $sTitle = $oTag.innerText
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next
MsgBox(0, "Title", $sTitle)
