I want to click a submit button, but there is no id or name.

Try this: It usually works

$oIE =_IECreate("https://webct.e-uni.com")
$hwnd = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")
ControlSend($hwnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{Enter}")

PS: DEbugBar is also your friend. its pretty useful tool if you do this kind of stuff.

I presume that since you are complaining that it has no name you were trying to ue _IEFormElementGetObjByName

Please read the Remarks for that function in the helpfile and it will steer you in the right direction.

Please refer to [help docs ] for example & detailed info on functions used here

For this case, since the submit control is actually a hyper-link, u may try _IELinkClickByText()

But the general method to do a submission is [1]to get the submission control[1] and [2]to do an _IEAction($submissionControl, "click") on it[2]

So, generally, we have to do [1] and [2]

[2] is simple - just put $submissionControl that u got from [1] - just so

[1] is the problem of identification - there are 3 built-in functions to deal with this

a/_IEFormGetObjByName --- b/_IEGetObjByName --- c/_IEGetObjById

a/ to deal with a submission in a form --- while --- b/, c/ to deal with an outside one

- u can also identify a submission control through some of its UNIQUE attributes

here I give an example to idenfify a submission control through its "href" attribute (as long as this attribute exists, it is almost obvious to be UNIQUE to controls)

Func LinkClickByHref(ByRef $oIE, $href)

; BIG NOTICE ; get all links on page

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)

;$iNumLinks = @extended

;MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found")

$count = 0

For $oLink In $oLinks

;MsgBox(0, $count & " Link Info", $oLink.href)

; BIG NOTICE ; get link by href

If $oLink.href = $href Then

; BIG NOTICE ; this is number [2]

_IEAction ($oLink, "click")

Return True

EndIf

$count += 1

EndFunc

@ 'LubeLee'

many thanks for your information. This helped me to identify the submit button.

Now there is a problem. The button seems to be invisible at page load and appears later when the queue has expired. So I clicked the button too early.

I assume that there is a property of the submitbutton object who describes if it is visible or not. How can i detemine all the property names of an object?

Is there any tool or documentation where i can read?

I would like to do e.g.:

consolwrite(@cr & $oLink.href )

consolwrite(@cr & $oLink.visible ) ; just a guess

consolwrite(@cr & $oLink.hidden ) ; just a guess

consolwrite(@cr & $oLink.font ) ; just a guess

consolwrite(@cr & $oLink.??? )

consolwrite(@cr & $oLink.??? ) ; where to get those names ???

TIA forumer100

DebugBar shows you dynamic source (view source does not). Try it out. The source for the link or something it is contained within will give you more clues (note that it may not be invisible, it may be created when it is needed).

Dale, many thanks for your valuable contributions. I really like your efforts in this forum regarding IE.

I use DebugBar already extensivly. But here is a drawback: The button shows only for 30 seconds to prepare a connection. If not pressed, the attempt is cancelled and a new page is shown. This time span is too short for me to debug the information, since I'm visually impaired and cannot analyze as quickly.

My approach would be to analyze the properties of the submitbutton object. I want to check what changes when appearing on the screen. I want to consolwrite the properties during the session and press a hotkey when the button appears. Then I can find out the property to test on.

So, the current question in this thread is: What are the properties of a submitbutton, and more important: Where to get those information? This would help me to solve such problems myself in the future. I used Google and MSDN, but had no luck. Seems to be too stupid to find the correct search words?

Perhaps, someone can enlighten me.
