Click on a button using IE functions

[ionmang20]

I've made an application in AutoIt that notifies me of changes in my internet banking balance.

Because I used unreliable commands like Send("{ENTER}")to hit Ok button, Send("User{TAB}Password{ENTER}") to enter the user name and password in a login form or ControlClick("Title", "","", "", 1, X, Y) to click on a link or button at x , y coordinates , I decided to improve my script with IE functions.

I tried to apply IE functions to click the top Ok button from https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24 like the picture below :

#include
$IE = _IECreate("https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24", 0, 1, 0, 1)
_IELoadWait ($IE)
$ID = _IEGetObjByName($IE,"rghtsidbtna")
_IEAction ($ID, "click")
MsgBox(0, "Result", "IE " & $IE & @CRLF & "ID "& $ID & @CRLF & "Error " & @error)

The object name “rghtsidbtna” I’ve got it with DebugBar and I hope it’s right :

<IMG border=0 name=rghtsidbtna alt="" src="images/rghtsidbtna.gif" width=39 height=26>

But the button isn't clicked (although I hear the clicking sound) and the variables $IE = “”, $ID= “”, @error = 0

Can you tell me what I’ve done wrong and how can I click that button?

It's not a button, it's a picture with an underlying java-script... and as far as I can see on that page it doesn't trigger anything expect an img-change ? Nothing happens when I click on it and I can't see any trigger in the source too...

Yes, you are right, it's picture, but how can I click on it ?

I don't understand why nothing happens, because when I click the Go picture next to login, it opens a pop up window https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24/SSL/default.asp?Language=Romanian

Can you try clicking on any of the Go pictures on the left, also them will do something ?

I see, might get killed by a pop-up blocker here ... seems like a static address to me... why don't you just use it as the start-page for _IECreate() directly?

Yes, I could do that, but I what to learn how to do that with your help and because the access in the page is restricted by a certificate you cannot see the page in order to help me.

So, how can I use the IE functions _IECreate, _IEGetObjByName and _IEAction or any other function to click on this page pictures ?

I tried _IEImgClick() which returns a -1 (success)... but nothing happens... strange ... maybe it has something to do with https protocol?

I tried with _IEImgClick,but it returns 0, did I do anything wrong ?

#include <IE.au3>
$IE = _IECreate("https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24")
_IELoadWait ($IE)
_IEImgClick($IE,"rghtsidbtna","name")
MsgBox(0, "Result", "IE " & $IE & @CRLF & "ID "& $ID & @CRLF & "Error " & @error)

No, the protocol is not the issue.

You'll see that the img is nested in an <A> with a bunch of javascript tied to it... that is where the magic is happening.

I tried :

#include <IE.au3>
$IE = _IECreate("https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24")
_IELoadWait($IE)
$ID = _IEGetObjByName($IE, "A")
_IEImgClick($ID, "rghtsidbtna", "name")

... it doesn't click on the image and I get the following errors :

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch (Name: A, Index: 0)
--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IEImgClick, $_IEStatus_InvalidDataType

How can I access the img in the <A> </A> ?

I fear that Dale means it's necessary to analyze the underlying javascript (saw a ref to a .js file at the top of the source) to emulate what's happening. So a click to an image is only meant literally and not really performed as by user input?

I noticed with DebugBar that onmousedown="changeImages('rghtsidbtna', 'images/rghtsidbtna-over.gif'); go_ib(); return true;" and so I downloaded the website with Teleport.

In choosepg.js I founded :

function go_ib()
{
    var width, height;
    height = screen.availHeight - 40;
    width = screen.availWidth - 10;
    window.open('https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24/SSL/default.asp?Language='+prev_language, 'IB', 'toolbar=no,resizable=yes,top=0,left=0,width='+width+',height='+height, '');
}

...now how can I run go_ib() function ?

So a click to an image is only meant literally and not really performed as by user input?

I'm affraid I don't understand the question. You mean I shouldn't click on the image and do something in order to get the same effect ?

Yeah, it seems to me that emulating the click does not trigger the underlying javascript...

window.open('https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24/SSL/default.asp?Language='+prev_language, 'IB', 'toolbar=no,resizable=yes,top=0,left=0,width='+width+',height='+height, '');

So why do you need to call the start-up page first? To acquire the certificate? Maybe something like this is sufficient too?

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE= _IECreate("https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
_IENavigate ($oIE, "https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24/SSL/default.asp?Language=Romanian")

or, if the target page checks for referer something like this...

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24")
$oBody = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "body", 0)
_IEDocInsertHTML($oBody, "<a id='custom_entry' href='https://bt24.btrl.ro/bt24/SSL/default.asp?Language=Romanian'>custom_entry</a>", "afterbegin")
_IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "custom_entry")
