perform Javascript calls on a webpage - HOW ?

[Armand]

well... i would like to automate a Javascript function after i've already loaded a document... is there anyway to automate it?!

i mean i know how i can do it manualy - just surf to a webpage then write it in address bar and press enter... but i want to do it all automatically through OBJs and so - is there a way ?!

ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED - THANKS IN ADVANCE !

Well if you do it that way, then using _IECreate("address") should do the job.. right?

[Armand]

noep... couse what u've just mentioned tries to actually suft to that address...

while when doing so in IE, it's just running the JS function since IE recognises it.

it can be achived however by making an IE window and automatically write down in the address bar and send an ENTER or something... but i want to call in HIDDEN... through an OBJ / TCP send... or something like that.....

If we're on the same page then I did figure out a way to do this (was having a hard time with it). You're essentially wanting to call a javascript function, through the IE object, with AutoIt, right? The only way I was able to do this, was to use Javascripts setTimeout to call the function for me. It's very simple though. Say the page you want to interact with has a function called doMessage() that takes a string as a parameter. You would do it like this:

$oIE = _IECreate('http://URL...')
$oIEDoc = _IEDocGetObj($oIE)
$oIEDoc.parentwindow.setTimeout('doMessage("This is the message!")', 0)

Hope that helps.

There is also eval and execScript. The former brings back a return value, the later does not. Some have also used _IENavigate.

$oIE.document.parentwindow.execScript('var x = 9; alert(x * 12);')

$result = $oIE.document.parentwindow.eval('var x = 9; x * 12;')

MsgBox(0, "Result", $result)

IE used to allow username and password to be passed in the URL as http://fu.bar.com/test.htlm:username@password however that was removed serveral IE releases ago for security reasons.
