JBJB Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I have one button that I cannot figure out how to click. I had to resort to Send() for tabbing and pressing enter. Before I stamp the program as done, I thought I'd run it by you guys here. The button source is: <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Flush cache" onclick="flushCache();submitCache(this.form)" /> I've tried: _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Flush cache") = NoMatch $oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "Flush cache") = NoMatch Also, _IELinkClickByIndex didn't work, it either fired other buttons or returned NoMatch. Anyone have something in their bag of tricks for this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrely1 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Did you include the required IE.au3 file? There are a lot of return error codes for that function _IELinkClickByText(). Set up your script to do the error checking, and then post your code enclosing it with the code tags or autoit tags, which are like html only you use backets "[" and "]" instead of "<" and ">".

JBJB Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yes, IE.au3 is included. This code is part of a larger script that runs thru and clicks all the links in a web app for the purpose of recaching all the pages. And the code I tried is what's in the original post . . . it's all coming back NoMatch. Now I'm finding that I can't rely on the tabbing either as it depends on who's running the script and what toolbar they might have .... the number of tabs needed to land on the Flush cache button can be different. So is there any way anyone has to click on a button like this: <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Flush cache" onclick="flushCache();submitCache(this.form)" /> Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBJB Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Well I finally figured it out. Here's the code. CODE$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0) $oFormElem = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm) $iNumElements = @extended For $i = 0 to $iNumElements - 1 $oElement = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, $i) $iElementProperty = _IEPropertyGet($oElement, "outerhtml") If StringInStr($iElementProperty, "onclick=flushCache()") Then _IEAction($oElement, "click") ExitLoop EndIf Next In this case, "outerhtml" was the only property that returned anything useful.

Squirrely1 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) Great ! I'm not that experienced with objects. They used to be discouraging to me because they would always throw me errors. So I'm glad you were able to conquer this challenge.
