How to submit a form when the submit element has no id or name?

[Voryn]

Hi there,

as mentioned in the topic im looking for a solution for the following problem:

I want to submit a form where the sumbit button hasn't an id or name.

Here's the HTML Code with the button i want to trigger:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" class="class1">
<tr>
 <td class="submit" colspan="3"><input onfocus="func();" class="class2" type="button" value="send it!"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Any ideas?

Is the form web based?

[Voryn]

Yes.

What i missed to mention:

i can't trigger it via collection index because the form isn't static in it's elements so the index would change from time to time.

Use the IE.au3 UDF, get the collection of "input" tags, loop through the collection looking for .value = "send it!".

Mhm i'm allready using some functions of the IE UDF but i guess to crawl through the collection is a bit too advanced for my current AutoIt skills, could you spare a code example with me?

Something like this:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("http://your.site.com")

; This may need more drilling down into the DOM...
$colInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
$sMsg = ""
For $oInput In $colInputs
    $sMsg &= "Input type=" & $oInput.type & ", value=" & $oInput.value & @CRLF
    If String($oInput.value) = "send it!" Then MsgBox(64, "Found", "Found 'send it!' input...")
Next
MsgBox(0, "Input Tags", $sMsg)

You're welcome. I'm not that far off noobiness myself. (Yes, that's a word.)
