_IE how to click item by Class?

[E1M1]

I can't find _IE* func to click button by class.

Any ideas about this?

Html

<a class="signIn" href="#" onclick="Login(); return false;"></a>

Get the collection of all links with _IELinkGetCollection() then walk through them with a For/In/Next loop to find the one you want:

$oFound = ""
$colLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink In $colLinks
    If $oLink.className & "" = "signIn" Then
        $oFound = $oLink
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next
If IsObj($oFound) Then 
    MsgBox(64, "Success", "Found it!")
Else
    MsgBox(16, "Failed", "Not found.")
EndIf

Hi i have a similar issue, i tried your code but it does not seem to work for me? always comes back "Failed, Not found"

<button class="action af_commandButton" onclick="submitForm('ManageUsers',1,{source:'_id106:_id133'});return false;" type="button">

 

$oFound = ""
$colLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink In $colLinks
    If $oLink.className & "" = "action af_commandButton" Then
  $oFound = $oLink
  ExitLoop
 EndIf
Next
If IsObj($oFound) Then
 MsgBox(64, "Success", "Found it!")
Else
 MsgBox(16, "Failed", "Not found.")
EndIf

You check a button not a link so you must adapt the code

Local $oBtns = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "button")
For $oBtn In $oBtns
    If String($oBtn.classname) = "action af_commandButton" Then
      ;... your action
   EndIf
Next

Thanks for your help, it seems to be working it now comes back saying "Found" howveer i still can't click it, have i done this right? thanks.

$oFound = ""
Local $oBtns = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "button")
For $oBtn In $oBtns
    If String($oBtn.classname) = "action af_commandButton" Then
     $oFound = $oBtn
   EndIf
Next
If IsObj($oFound) Then
 _IEAction ($oFound, "click")
 MsgBox(16, "Success", "Password23 with a captial P (Roles have been set)")
Else
 MsgBox(16, "Failed", "Not found.")
EndIf
endfunc

I'm not sure this will work or not, but try to get the ID of the $oFound item and save it as $obtn, and then click the $obtn:

Local $oFound = ""
Local $oBtns = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "button")

For $oBtn In $oBtns
    If String($oBtn.classname) = "action af_commandButton" Then
     $oFound = $oBtn
   EndIf
Next

If IsObj($oFound) Then
    Local $obtn = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_IE, $oFound.id) ; Get ID of the button    
    _IEAction ($obtn, "click")
    MsgBox(16, "Success", "Password23 with a captial P (Roles have been set)")
Else
    MsgBox(16, "Failed", "Not found.")
EndIf

Annonyreeder,

In this

If IsObj($oFound) Then
 _IEAction ($oFound, "click")
 MsgBox(16, "Success", "Password23 with a captial P (Roles have been set)")
Else
 MsgBox(16, "Failed", "Not found.")
EndIf

Do you still get the success msgbox ?

Hello, sorry for late reply had 2 days off work, Using "Adventureer's" code it still shows "Success" but doesnt actually click the button :S

[DaleHohm]

If you are getting Success, it is actually performing a click event on the element.  If it is not producing the desired results, it may be that more than a simple click is required.  When you click with the mouse, you actually generate events onmousedown, onmouseup, click. So, you can try this:

$oFound.fireEvent("onmousedown")
$oFound.fireEvent("onmouseup")
_IEAction($oFound, "click")

Hey i just found this post from awhile ago, and im still having the same problem, however the reason im getting the issue is because there are several buttons all with the exact same class + type the only part thta differs is the "Onclick"

 
<BUTTON class="action af_commandButton" onclick="submitForm('ManageUsers',1,{source:'_id106:_id133'});return false;" type=button>Assign</BUTTON>
