How clicking in the code <a href="javascript> using _IEAction

[stenioc1]

Hello,

I have the code that works well, opening the page and click on the links, after its not opening next link, below the code html:

<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('dtgLista$_ctl3$_ctl0','')">

I tried this code and not works:

Func ClickIncident()

$oFrame1 = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, 'contents') ;OK
$oFrame2 = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oFrame1, 'main') ;OK
Local $oAreas= _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "href")
For $oArea In $oAreas
    if StringInStr($oArea.outerhtml,'dtgLista$_ctl3$_ctl0') <> 0 Then
        _IEAction ($oArea, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

EndFunc   ;==>ClickIncident

And logs:

Did not understand what I did wrong, Can you help me ?

Thanks

maybe you should use

Local $oAreas= _IETagNameGetCollection($oFrame2, "href")

also, maybe is better _IELinkGetCollection instead _IETagNameGetCollection

[Danp2]

 

Local $oAreas= _IETagNameGetCollection($oFrame2, "href")

 

Will probably work better with "a" instead of "href".

Hello, I tried the code change, still not working, I forgot to inform you that the code use other variables in the links, below the example:

<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('dtgLista$_ctl3$_ctl0','')">
<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('dtgLista$_ctl4$_ctl0','')">
<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('dtgLista$_ctl5$_ctl0','')"> 

I want to use the structure "for" to work the code, but I wish to use in the simple form for learning to working, below the logs:

I would recommend that you add a consolewrite() before the _IEAction line so that you can be sure that you are actually reaching that section of code. Repost a working example of your code and the output window results.

What about something like this?

$oIE.document.parentWindow.execScript("__doPostBack('dtgLista$_ctl3$_ctl0','');","javascript")

Hello Team,

I have a website with similar concept:

 

I tried to click on "Request Number" link using below code but it did not work.

$oWebComponent = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//a[contains(text(),'Request Number')]")
        
        _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $oWebComponent, "Click")

I also tried to call JavaScript but seems I do something wrong.

_WD_ExecuteScript($sSession, "__doPostBack('ctl00$PlaceHolderMain$gvDashboard','Sort$tkNum')", Default)

Could someone help me on this? Thanks in advance!

You could try with _WD_LinkClickByText. BTW, telling us that something "doesn't work" isn't very useful without additional context. If you showed us your console output, it might help identify the reason it failed.

P.S. Next time start a new thread instead of awakening the dead. 😉

Thanks a lot for your quick help. It works with function "_WD_LinkClickByText".

I need to learn more on your recommendation "console output". I'm newbie with webdriver and Autoit.

I found this post which had similar with my problem and no final conclusion. Next time, I will open new thread.
