Click a button in IE

[gauravkabra]

I am trying to click a button on one webpage but unable to do it. Its a simple "Apply" button and here is the source code of that button:

<input type="button" onclick="gReport.column.filter('24818600574673496');" value="Apply">

I have tried ControlClick("Window Name", "", "[CLASS:button;TEXT:Apply]") but it does not seem to work. Any idea how this can be achieved?

Also attaching the screenshot the button layout.New Picture.bmp

U have to use the IE Udf.

go to the help file en type IE it al becomes clear then.

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate()

_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.google.com")

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f")

$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "q")

$oButton = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "btnG")

_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery, "place your search string here")

$oButton.click

_IELoadWait($oIE)

Exit

The one you pasted BartW works for Google page because the "Google Search" button has a name and an id. The one I pasted above does not. I tried the code you pasted but I got "Warning from function _IEFormElementGetObjByName, $_IEStatus_NoMatch error".

After Including IE.au3 in your script

_IELinkClickByText($oIE,"Apply")

should do the work. Check IE.au3 help for more functions.

Its a button that I need to click. LinkClickByText cannot work here.

Great first post!

[BartW]

is that the only error u get or do you get the form error aswel

[gauravkabra]

No its just the ObjectByName error that I get.

[BartW]

maby you can try the folowing.

$Button = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "Apply")
_IEAction ( $Button, "click" )

value= is different than name= (duh).

Suggest you look at _IEFormElementGetCollection or perhaps _IETagnameGetCollection
