IEGetObjByName without ID

[newb_powa']

I'm trying to automate a click on a button, but the problem is that the button got no ID.

<INPUT style="BORDER-RIGHT: 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: 1px solid; COLOR: white; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #554433" onclick=sendLevelUp(); type=button value="[ Ok! ]">

This is the html code of the button. I've looked trought the help file but I can't find any function that will create a reference to an object by his value. If there is a way just tell it to me, and if there is not, how can I click this button ?

Between, the button is'nt in a form for what i can see.

Thanks for help.

You need to use either _IETagnameGetCollection or _IEFormElementGetCollection using an index. See the helpfile for examples. You are correct - there is no function to get something directly by value.

p.s. to click on it use _IEAction click

Check the help file for the _IE* functions. Play with the examples. You first need to get the DOM object for the button, i.e. with _IETagNameGetCollection(), then use _IEAction() with "click".

Edit: Slow typing... beat to it.

Note that you can in fact find an element by value. but you need to loop through a collection to do it... see the example for _IETagnameGetCollection and examine the value of $oInput.value to find a match.

It does the trick

$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection ($oIE, "input")

For $oInput In $oInputs

If $oInput.value = "[ Ok! ]" Then

_IEAction ($oInput, "click")

EndIf

Next

I just put here the code I've used so if someone have the same question, there is the answer.

Thanks for the tips Dale

Very good. Suggest you add an ExitLoop however to prevent errors for input tags in the collection after you click:

$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection ($oIE, "input")
For $oInput In $oInputs
    If $oInput.value = "[ Ok! ]" Then
        _IEAction ($oInput, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

@PsaltyDS -- If I'd known you were there, I would have gladly let you handle it

What if you use the debug bar and know the DOM location?

How could you write that?

$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection ($oIE, "input")
If $oInput.234 = "[ Ok! ]" Then
     _IEAction ($oInput, "click")
     ExitLoop
EndIf
