Opening a JavaScript Link

[jbc1]

Hi,

I have an application on which there is a link which the user can click if they have forgotten their password. I want to extract the href from this URL, go to it, and take a screenshot.

My problem is that the link looks like this when I extract the href:

java script:openWindow('/root/forgotPassword.asp?affid=105-257&langid=1&close=true&RW=1','forgotPassword',450,270);

so I can't use _IELoadWait() to open it. I could just click on the control and use sleep(), but I want to avoid this if at all possible.

Does anyone have any suggesstions? My function is below:

Func _TestForgotPasswordLink()
    
; Click the 'Forgot our Password?' link
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection ($o_IE_Main, "a")
$link = ""
    
; Search for the link we are looking for by it's id
For $oInput In $oInputs
    If($oInput.id == $FORGOT_PASSWORD_LINK) Then
        $link = $oInput.href
    EndIf
Next
    
_FileWriteLog($tempLog, "Link to 'Forgot Your Password?: " & $link)
    
; How to open Javascript link here?
    

; Want to avoid do this..
;$oInput.click
;Sleep(15000)
;ProcessClose("iexplore.exe")

EndFunc

You'll need to look at the openWindow script to see what it does and reverse engineer the outcome if you don't want to click the link. You see that it is not just a URL, but also parameters taht are processed by the script.
