IE Management UDF lack

[j0kky]

Hi guys,

reading >this topic I discovered there is no way to get the "class" attribute value of an object using only IE Management UDF.

For example, www.google.com had a DIV element with class = "ctr-p".

If I run this script

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com", 0, 0, 1, 0)

$tags = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "div")
For $tag In $tags
    $class_value = _IEPropertyGet($tag, "class")
    If String($class_value) = "ctr-p" Then
        ConsoleWrite("Object tried" & @CRLF)
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next
_IEQuit($oIE)
 

I get "IE.au3 T3.0-1 Error from function _IEPropertyGet, $_IESTATUS_InvalidValue (Invalid Property)" error.

This error comes out because _IEPropertyGet has very few property related to DOM object, and Class attribute is not supported (we need to use GetAttribute method to retrieve that one).

Can it be implemented by the next version of Autoit?

If that attribute can be retrieved using only IE management UDF please tell me the right way

I believe a property and an attribute are different things, I doubt it's wise to mix the the two up. And as you say it's trivial to do what you want using GetAttribute .

Mmm you're right, maybe it can be added a kind of _IEAttributeGet function
