bigdave79 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi, I'm trying to test whether a dynamic link appears on a web page, and if so, to then follow it. There are various 'manual' ways I could do this, with mouse movements, colour checking etc. But I need to make it more robust, and cross-platform. If and when the link is generated, it will always assign the same ID in the <A> tag. However, the HREF is dynamically created and therefore cannot be referenced directly. eg. Instance 1 <a ID="link9" HREF="http://www.domain.com?Date=20080617">Link</a> Instance 2 <a ID="link9" HREF="http://www.domain.com?Date=20080616">Link</a> Instance 3 <a ID="link9" HREF="http://www.domain.com?Date=20080615">Link</a> Is there a way of finding the HREF of a link from its ID? I've looked through the IE UDF's and can't see anything obvious. Any help is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 How about something like this... $oLink = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "Link9") ; $href = $oLink.href _IEAction($oLink, "click") Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better? IE.au3 issues with Vista - Workarounds SciTe Debug mode - it's magic: #AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead? Reproducer: a small (the smallest?) piece of stand-alone code that demonstrates your trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
