joeloyzaga Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I need a function to call to get all the objects (tag elements - e.g buttons, text input areas, etc etc) within the web page displayed within IE or Firefox with a URL that I supply to the function as an argument. The function parses(?) the page and produces a list to output to a new file (txt or cvs or xls) that I will format later. Does anyone know how to achieve this? I tried vbs with not much joy, I can try using python by parsing the page using "beautiful soup" and traversing the element tree and listing the output but it means a whole lot of learning curves and I'm more comfortable with a basic-like language. Can anybody help me out by giving me examples of getting elements or tags and listing them in functions. Hey somebody could be really brilliant and give me some sort of solution too!
Robjong Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Hey, Welcome to the forum.Take a look at the _IE* functions in the help file there are a lot of functions to get objects and most/all of them have examples.The help file and forum search option are your friend (Online help file: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/)Edit: URL Edited March 8, 2009 by Robjong

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?

joeloyzaga Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 In particular, see _IETagNameAllGetCollection Dalecan't see this function in the docs section
Authenticity Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 So you need to update your documents. If you're searching the help file (the latest one) you'll see it. (F1 from SciTE editor)
BrettF Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Make sure you are looking in the UDF section of the help file too, and that you are using the full help file (AutoIt.chm over using AutoIt3.chm or UDFs3.chm...)

Robjong Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Hey,@joeloyzaga, did you install SciTE4AutoIt already? If not you should, it shows if you have errors and comes with a lot of tools to help you out AND a easy to use help file.http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/downloads.shtmlbtw. The online docs are usefull but not the way to go, just use AutoIt.chm
