Another IE automation topic

JaySquared · October 16, 2006

I've done quite a bit of automation at work, so my boss handed me a project. The only thing is, the source code doesn't give me anything to work with.

Using IE Builder 2.0 Here is what I've gleaned

Source:

</FRAMESET>

71 Object Elements

45 are listed as "Script"

10 are listed as just "!"

No Anchor Tags

No Image Tags

0 Form Elements

Anyone have any ideas how I can do automation on something like this?

What are you wanting to automate?

JaySquared · October 16, 2006

Various things such as input, navigation, etc.

Here is a screen shot that will give you an idea of the layout, however all private data has been removed. I need to be able to switch tabs, fill in forms, etc. I've had success doing this on other sites, however this one is giving me trouble.

One big for example is I need to be able to select Support tab down near the bottom.

Your first challenge is going to be to drill down to the Frame that contains the content you want to work with . See _IEFrame*

Once you find that, in the case of the support tab, there is likely to be a <div> tag taht represents the tab with an onclick Javascript event tied to it. You'll need to get a reference to the correct div (e.g. with _IEGetObjByName) and then use _IEAction($oDiv, "click")

Ok.. I've been drilling like an oil rigger (61 pages of code to bring up the one webpage), hunting thru code, looking thru Dale's example pages and can't figure out how to access these fields. Here's the HTML for the first frame I'm trying to manipulate.

It appears to be in a table, not DIV tags and it's not in a form. Since it's not in a form, how do I access the INPUT?

DaleHohm · October 24, 2006

You can use _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input", zero-based-index-of-input-field-you-want)

Dale

JaySquared · October 24, 2006

By "zero-based-index-of-input-field-you-want" do you mean 0 would equal whatever Input is listed first etc so that I need to go by number reference instead of by name?

DaleHohm · October 24, 2006

Yes, that is what I meant, but if they have names you can use _IEGetObjByName

@Dale

I would just like to extend to you my gratitude for your patience with me and everyone else here. While I have seen your assistance numerous times to those who haven't "gotten it" your assistance did help me not only unlock what I was missing, but also a better understanding of how IE.au3 can work. Hopefully I will be able to help others in turn.

:whistle:

You're welcome. I have lots of patience with anyone who is trying to learn. And yes, the best way to show your gratitude is by jumping in whenever you can to help others with IE.au3.

Still learning..

I can navigate the frames, pull out the id's and such but I have one section that is giving me hell.

$oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, "idFrameCRM")
$oSubFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oFrame, "frmTabs")
$Support = _IEGetObjByName($oSubFrame,"iddiv_tabview_support")
$Support.click

It errors out that $Support is not an object. Now I have done the same thing with another icon and it clicked fine. Here is the original HTML code

<DIV id=iddiv_tabview_divTabsInnerContainer style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px; OVERFLOW: hidden; WIDTH: 631px" noWrap>
<SPAN id=iddiv_tabview_support tabId="support" fireonclick="doTabClick('SUPPORT')"><IMG src="http://membership/membership/onyxcommon/tabcontrol/images/leftinactive.gif" align=absMiddle>

What am I doing wrong?

Based on what you are saying, I'd expect _IEGetObjByName($oSubFrame,"iddiv_tabview_support") to give you a NOMATCH error in the SciTe console -- it is not?

Dale

JaySquared · October 30, 2006

--> IE.au3 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

C:\Documents and Settings\jperry\Desktop\Macros\Testing\SpendLocator.au3 (27) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

$Support.click

$Support^ ERROR

+>AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:0

DaleHohm · October 31, 2006

So I have to state the obvious, please don't ignore the messages sent to the console. The more significant message is the no match, rather than the object error.

I suggest you examine the contents of $oSubFrame with _IEDocReadHTML because I don't think it contains what you think it does.
