onClick vs _IENavigate

[fhanna]

In the past I have utilized the _IENavigate function to link to sites with no problem. Now it appears the results are different due to java scriptiing within the link. If I physically click on the link then the result is different than the script I run to navigate.

My question: How do I execute the js via IE functions?

Example of html code:

<tr>

<td width=50 valign=top><script src='/lib/dls_url.js' language='javascript'></script><ahref="https://dba.iacd.scdata.org/doc1/0771694928"

onclick="goDLS('https://dba.iacd.scdata.org/doc1/0771694928','34679','1257','','','','36701665');return(false);">1</a></td>

<td width=150>Main Document </td>

<td width=400>3 pages</td>

</tr>

I'm pretty sure you're looking for _IEAction ($oLink, "click").... the help file actually mentions using _IEAction for javascript events if you look under _IELinkClickByText. Let me know if thats what your looking for.

EDIT because its not worth another post: Ha Dale I swear I try to help you out fielding some of the IE.au3 questions I swear! Oh well I'll learn someday....

The remark in the helpfile for _IELinkClickByText is referring to onclick events attached to things like <DIV> elements (even though they appear to be links, they would not be found). This one is actually a link (<A>), so you can use _IELinkClickByText - that function actually does a $oLink.click which activates the onclick event.

So _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "1") or _IELinkClickByIndex should do the job for you.

Thank you!!!

Works!!!

Would like to expand. I am processing multiple links from 1 page as mentioned by storing the urls in an array and _IENavigating to each page, taking an action then _IENavigate to the next.

Now that I would link via _IELinkClickByText would I need to page back to the web page for the second link, etc, etc. but prefer to go to subsequent links. Is that possible by storing the info in the array and if so an example is greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

I don't understand the question.

First, thank you for your support, and secondly, sorry for the confustion.

I have a web page that will have multiple links. Followig extracted code for example:

<onclick="goDLS('https://dba.iacd.scdata.org/doc1/0771694928,34679,1257,,,,36701665');return(false);">1</a></td>

<onclick="goDLS('https://dba.iacd.scdata.org/doc1/0771694929,34679,1257,,,,36701665');return(false);">2</a></td>

<onclick="goDLS('https://dba.iacd.scdata.org/doc1/0771694930,34679,1257,,,,36701665');return(false);">3</a></td>

As mentioned I retrieved the links and stored in an array and _IENavigated to each. You help me by doing an onclick IE function for js issues.

Since I have multiple documents, ie 1, 2, 3 is there a way to store additional info in the array (as I am doing for _IENavigate) so as I do not have to return to the webpage with the multiple links to do the second, third _IELinkClickByText or Index.

IOW store the necessary url info to pass from one main page to the next via the _IELinkClickByText or Index without the multiple link page having to be displayed after the initial display.

I hope this is a little clearer.
