IE automation - colspan problem

[v3n0m007308]

Hi folks, first of all: Thanks to Dale for this great udf.

I only got one problem, which I appearantly can't solve myself

I use the udf, to read the timetable of my school.

there are some colspans in the table, so when a lesson takes 3 hours, it is just colspan=3.

the point is, when reading this table, it only takes the first part of the cell, the second & third, are kept empty.

I already found that this is correct, but it isn't really what I need

so basicly my question is:

is it possible to clone the content of the leftmost element of the cell, to the colspan parts?

sorry if my question isn't clear enough, can't explain it very well I think

so when I have 5 td's, and the 3rd one has a colspan of 3, I would like to get this:

1st - hi

2nd - this

3rd - is

4th - a

5th - test

$array[0] hi

$array[1] this

$array[2] is

$array[3] is

$array[4] is

$array[5] a

$array[6] test

hope this is clear

thanks in advance.

Probably the easiest thing to do would be to clone the logic of _IETableWriteToArray() and modify it to suit your needs in your own function.

You'll find conditional statements dealing with COLSPAN cells and it would be pretty simple to change it to copy the first value forward instead of leaving the spanned cells empty.

thanks for the quick answer

I already took a quick look at your function, and I found the word colspan a few times, but I couldn't really find how I could change it.

my autoit knowledge is pretty basic, but I'll give it a shot.

thanks again.

I haven't tested, but you should be able to change this:

For $td In $tds
            $a_TableCells[$col][$row] = $td.innerText
            $col = $col + $td.colSpan
        NextoÝ÷ Ù:-+ºÚ"µÍBQÜ    ÌÍÝ[ ÌÍÝÂBBQÜ   ÌÍÚHHHÈ ÌÍÝÛÛÜ[BBBIÌÍØWÕXPÙ[ÖÉÌÍØÛÛVÉÌÍÜÝ×HH    ÌÍÝ[^BBBIÌÍØÛÛH ÌÍØÛÛ

hmm, doesn't work yet, but my code may be messed up too (the reader itself), so I'm going to try some thing.

thnx for the effort

!!!!!EDIT!!!!

dale, your fix works great thanks man

the problem was in my code, I found the bug, now I just have to finish the app, but I think i can do it from now on

thanks for your time
