So in my time of coding I found a better, precise and more powerful way of finding element objects by classname and by tags. Its called querySelectorAll and it looks like this. Now I can forget needing to use a combination of _ietagnameget... and _iegetobjbyclassname... and just use one function. I have not tested this on the latest version of autoit, due to the many script braking changes, but I think it should still work. Credit to Dale Hohm who built the foundation of IE UDF and mLipok who made the error checking better on a previous post. DO note: This a relatively recent add-on to IE so it requires IE 9 and above. If you find you receive a com error of "unknown name" its likely the site is using meta tag attribute X-UA-Compatible which has reverted the browser to forget about it.

Good Morning Everyone, Happy Tuesday (hopefully we all know it's Tuesday ) So, I hope I'm asking for the right thing here... I'm successfully able to find tag name "li" with attribute "class" and string "securityfix" 3 times in the given page... but I really don't know how to return the html code where the tags begin and finish. I'm trying to put together a patch table with fresh data - all good - nothing shady. This sure sounds like a regularexpression search or something of that nature... but you folks are the professionals so there may be a function out there that does exactly what I'm asking for. Been in the forums and most folks are just automating clicks and not creating new html pages like me. I've been using the help example "_IEDocWriteHTML" in my loops etc and so far so good... this one is NOT a table and most sites are... that's where I'm stuck. I don't want the extra html garbage of the page... just starting with those tags if possible... I might have already done this in the past but I can't remember LOL The IE.au3 has been amazing - thank you very much for making such a huge automation function. Thank you all for the help! #include <IE.au3> Call ("Gui01") Func Gui01() $URL01 = 'http://service.real.com/realplayer/security/en/' $oIE = _IECreate ($URL01, 0, 1) _IELoadWait($oIE) $oCorrectObj = "" $tags = $oIE.document.GetElementsByTagName("li") For $tag in $tags $class_value = $tag.GetAttribute("class") If string($class_value) = "securityfix" Then $oCorrectObj = $tag MsgBox(0, "Security: ", "Security Fix Found :)") ;ExitLoop EndIf Next If IsObj ( $oCorrectObj ) Then MsgBox(0, "Security: ", "Yep - Exit loop") EndIF _IEQuit ($oIE)
