Working with Ie and Tabs

[HighlanderSword]

Hello,

When working with tabs in IE , how do you select the tab you want, to manually do it I would just click the tab name , I have tried

_IEImgClick

$oIE = _IEAttach("Changes")

_IEImgClick ($oIE, "Plans", "alt")

This appears to do nothing , when i use debugbar I'm able to get the details below

<A class="text tton " onmousedown="input_mousedown(event, this);cancelEvent(event);" id=mx203_anchor onmouseover="return noStatus()" title=Plans onfocus="setCurrentfocusId(event, this);" href="javascript: tabClick('mx203');">&nbsp;Plans</A>

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Paul

_IEAttach() can attach to tabs in IE7 (and IE8, I presume). The default match type is document title (note that is different from window title), so are you sure the document title for that tab is "Changes"? If not, have you tried some of the other modes?

Hello,

Yes I'm sure the window Title is Changes, I'm doing several other things with the items in the window, its just that there are tabs on the window

that I need to somehow automate the click, I'm trying to avoid using the mousemove, as the script I'm creating will be run on

several differnt machines all with differnt screen resolutions.

Below is a sample

$oIE = _IEAttach("Changes")

$test= mxnum("Summary")

$oInput = _IEGetObjById($oIE, $test)

_IEFormElementSetValue($oInput, "Test me")

Func mxnum($x)

; $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection ($oIE, "input")

$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection ($oIE, "TABLE")

For $oInput In $oInputs

;MsgBox(0, "Form Input Type", $oInput.type & " " & $oinput.id & " " & $oInput.title)

;MsgBox(0,"",$oInput.title)

if $oInput.title = $x Then

$gotit = $oInput.id

EndIf

Next

return ($gotit)

EndFunc

The above code woeks with n o problem on the window Titled Changes.

Any body have an ideas ?

Thanks

Based on this post from Dale from January, I'm going to guess that you're not going to find manipulating tabs very workable...
