Need help on IE3

[icadea]

Hi all,

Instead of using Send keys to automate click on the links and drop down combo box,

I would like to know how this could be done using IE.au3. The two links I would like to this to be done is

1) <a href="#">compound trace</a>

2) <option value="2">drop2</option>

Kindly advise or show some examples on how this could be done using IE.au3. Thanks

I'm providing the code below.

<td colSpan="2">&nbsp; <span style="color: #FFC0C0">test</span>
                    </td>
                    <td align="right"><a href="#">compound trace</a>
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr vAlign="bottom" height="8">
                    <td>&nbsp;</td>
                    <td><span id="lblTable" style="width:129px;">Table</span></td>
                    <td><span id="lblContainer" style="width:129px;">link name</span></td>
                </tr>
                <tr vAlign="middle">
                    <td></td>
                    <td><select name="cmbTable" onchange="__doPostBack('cmbTable','')" language="javascript" id="cmbTable" onclick="cmbTable_onclick()">
    <option selected="selected" value="0"></option>
    <option value="1">drop1</option>
    <option value="2">drop2</option>

For the first one, _IELinkClickByText() should work.

For the second one, study this example:

#include <IE.au3>
Dim $Selected[2]
;Create the explorer
$oIE =_IECreate("http://losprofes.110mb.com/test/page.html")


;Get the form
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "myform")
;Get the dropdown
$oSelect = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "mydropdown")
;Select 2nd item in dropdown. (by index)
_IEFormElementOptionselect ($oSelect, 1, 1, "byIndex")
;Get the value of the selected item
$Selected[0]= _IEFormElementGetValue($oSelect)
;Show you the value
MsgBox(0,"","Selected: "&$Selected[0])
;Go to the next page
_IELinkClickByText($oIE ,"Go to page 2")
;Wait.
_IELoadWait($oIE)


;Get the form
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "myform")
;Get the dropdown
$oSelect = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "mydropdown")
;Select 1st item of the dropdown (by value)
_IEFormElementOptionselect ($oSelect, "Bread", 1)
;Get value of the selected item
$Selected[1]= _IEFormElementGetValue($oSelect)
;Show you the value
MsgBox(0,"","Selected: "&$Selected[1])

Thanks for the help nahuel. I'll study them.

I modified the examples slightly. This works in IE6 but not in IE7, the page loads in a tab but the dropdown box is not chosen.

Is there a workaround so the same script works in both IE version.

Func first()
    _GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($comb, 0)
    $oIE = _IECreate("http://test/inst/frmApp.aspx")
    If WinWaitActive("frmApp - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "", 5) Then
        WinActivate("frmApp - Microsoft Internet Explorer")
        $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "Form1")
        $oSelect = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "cmbTable")
        _IEFormElementOptionselect($oSelect, "first", 1, "byText")
    Else
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>first

have searched through the forum but could not find any examples. Please help. thanks
