Kayage Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I browsed thru the AutoIT help but could not seem to find the function that I need. Yes, I am new on this scripting language and am learning the trades as I post this question. I would appreciate some help and advice for the following: 1. What is the function to use to detect the completion of a page load. Eg. I execute a login command via the AutoIT script. I would like to execute another function, but i need to page to complete loading 1st. 2. I know I can do a search on the particular page by executing this function Send("^f") follow by send(<text search>). However, this method would not detect strings on buttons. eg. if there is a button with the word 'Run', the Send("^f") function cannot detect it. What other options do I have. Is there another method of performing a search on the page instead of Send("^f")? Thank you for your kind help and advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaponx Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 To pause script execution until page finishes loading: #include <IE.au3> _IELoadWait ( ByRef $o_object [, $i_delay = 0 [, $i_timeout = -1]] ) To collect form elements: #include <IE.au3> _IEFormElementGetCollection ( ByRef $o_object [, $i_index = -1] ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayage Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thanx Weaponx for your kind reference. I studied the 2 functions you gave me and understand the former one. The latter one, however, I am having some difficulty understanding.eg: in http://gmail.google.com, there are 2 buttons. i attempt to run the _IEFormElementGetCollection function but get nothing from it. below is my sample code:#include<IE.au3>$oIE = _IECreate(0)_IENavigate($oIE, "http://gmail.google.com")_IELoadWait($oIE)$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm, 1)MsgBox(0, "eof Script", $oQuery)what i want to do is capture the text in the 2 buttons i.e the 'Sign in' and the 'Pick a name >>' button. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Thanx Weaponx for your kind reference. I studied the 2 functions you gave me and understand the former one.

Thanx That might be working, but you can't display an object as a message string in MsgBox(). $oIE, $oForm, and $oQuery (assuming they were successfully retrieved) are all object references. You might get away with: MsgBox(0, "eof Script", $oQuery.name) Edit: Or $oQuery.OuterText, or $oQuery.InnerText, etc... Edited August 30, 2007 by PsaltyDS Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
