Get website countdown timer data

[Hawkwing]

I've never really used any of the IE stuff in autoit because I use google chrome, but is there a way to get data from a countdown timer on a website?

You should be able to read the value of that page element, yes. Do you have a website that you could share that you want to do this on?

Sorry, shoulda put a website in the first post. http://countdown.onlineclock.net/

This was kinda tricky because they use javascript to do the countdown, and based on what time it's supposed to display it shows a different image...

But this seems to work. >_<

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Global $aTime[10]
Global $varLastTime

$oIE = _IECreate ("http://countdown.onlineclock.net/")

While 1
    $varCount = 0
    $oImgs = _IEImgGetCollection ($oIE)
    $iNumImg = @extended
    For $oImg In $oImgs
        If $oImg.nameProp = "clear.gif" Then ContinueLoop
        $var = StringReplace ($oImg.nameProp, ".gif", "")
        $var = StringReplace ($var, "colon", ":")
        
        If StringLeft($var, 1) = "c" Then $var = StringTrimLeft ($var, 1)
        
        $aTime[$varCount] = $var
        $varCount += 1
    Next

    $string = ""
    For $x = 0 to 9
        $string &= $aTime[$x]
    Next
    
    If $string <> $varLastTime Then
        ToolTip ($string, 0, 0)
        $varLastTime = $string
    EndIf
    Sleep (100)
WEnd

Btw, holla from up the road in Waukee.
