Need help for _FFclick

[232showtime]

I created auto log in script for my router, just want  to learn this FF.au3 but Its hard to analyze/understand some example like this:

#Include <FF.au3>

 _FFStart("http://ff-au3-example.thorsten-willert.de/")

If _FFIsConnected() Then

    _FFClick("img", "tag", 5) ; clicks on the 5th image

    Sleep(1000)

    $sObj = _FFXpath("//img[@alt='test_bild_3']","",9) ; get the image with the alt-text test_bild_3 ...
    _FFClick($sObj) ; ... and click on it

    Sleep(1000)
    _FFWindowClose()
Else
    MsgBox(0,"Error:", "Can't connect to FireFox!")
EndIf

got confused with ("img", "tag", 5) ("//img[@alt='test_bild_3']","",9) from where did he get this?

I want to click button on my router like network status tab, how do I click the correct tab?

the syntax for ffclick is like

#Include <FF.au3>
_FFClick($sElement[, $sMode = "elements"[, $iIndex = 0[, $bLoadWait = True]]])

but where should i get this elements???  how will i get the correct elements??? ive been browsing google this forums since yesterday still cant find the answer...

and some example are not available here http://english.documentation.ff-au3.thorsten-willert.de/ff_functions/_FFClick.php

Edit: maybe some good samaritans will help me... just maybe o:)

Edit: this is what I got from running the example script above:

_FFConnect: OS:    WIN_7 WIN32_NT 7600
_FFConnect: AutoIt:    3.3.12.0
_FFConnect: FF.au3:    0.6.0.1b-10

You should use Firebug to help you determine the attributes of the element you are interested in clicking. Then you would pass these attributes to _FFClick.

The sample script works properly for me. There have been some corrections to the UDF posted in the main Examples section thread. I suggest that you apply those and then let us know if you are still having issues.

Hi, please could you provide me the link for this "There have been some corrections to the UDF posted in the main Examples section thread.", cant find it...  i copy some example from google to use with firebug but cant find the right element. firebug is kinda hard to use, and its harder than i thought, this is the html i copy to practice firebug.

<html>
<body>

<h1>My 1st JavaScript</h1>

<p>Click Date to display current day, date, and time.</p>

<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()">Date</button>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
function myFunction() {
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = Date();
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

im feeling hopeless, could you show me an example for ffclick using the html script above??? thanks in advance...

EDIT: I add some func in ff click example it works but its kinda confusing i cant find the element that is clicked

#Include <FF.au3>

 _FFStart("http://ff-au3-example.thorsten-willert.de/")

If _FFIsConnected() Then
    _FFOpenUrl("http://ff-au3-example.thorsten-willert.de/"); line added
    _FFClick("img", "tag", 5) ; clicks on the 5th image

    Sleep(1000)

    $sObj = _FFXpath("//img[@alt='test_bild_3']","",9) ; get the image with the alt-text test_bild_3 ...
    _FFClick($sObj) ; ... and click on it


Else
    MsgBox(0,"Error:", "Can't connect to FireFox!")
EndIf

is one example. Read down a few posts from there for another.

Firebug isn't that hard. There are probably lots of tutorials online. Find one and follow it to get the basics of how it works. FWIW, the images are located at the very bottom of the test page.

hello there,  got confused with this one, I search for the image 1 and this is what I found in the example script above

<img width="200" height="128" onclick="alert(this.alt)" alt="test_bild_3" src="http://www.thorsten-willert.de/bilder/gr_orange.png"> ; this is the test bild 3, 5th image

<img width="200" height="64" onclick="alert(this.alt)" alt="test_bild_2" src="http://www.thorsten-willert.de/bilder/gr_orange.png">;test build 2, 4th img

<a href="http://english.documentation.ff-au3.thorsten-willert.de/"><img border="0" alt="gb" src="http://www.thorsten-willert.de/bilder/gb.png">&nbsp;Documentation</a>; this one is the 1st image,

 how did it become the 1st img?  how to know the exact no. of image?

F12 will bring up developer tools, and the "inspector" will tell you the same thing basically.

I'll show a different example:

#include <FF.au3>

ShellExecute('http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/')
WinWaitActive('Mozilla Firefox')      ;Firefox open
_FFLoadWait(0, False)                 ;Page loaded
_FFConnect ()                         ;Connect to firefox
_FFSetValue('YOURLOGIN', 'ips_username', 'name')      ;Username but with name element
;_FFSetValue('YOURLOGIN', 'login_guideHandle', 'id')  ;Username but with id element
_FFSetValue('PassXXX', 'ips_password', 'name')        ;Name element
;_FFSetValue('PassXXX', 'login_password', 'id')       ;Id element
_FFClick('ipsButton', 'class')                        ;Click button
