Why isn't Autoit able to click a Javascript Dialog?

Ok, here is your answer, some dialogs block your script. They'll probably block any script in any language doing the same thing.

Bleh. Fair enough. Thanks!

[JohnOne]

Pobably in another language interacting with the DOM, you might create another thread to deal with it. hence why you need to spawn another process.

Seeing some other code, doing the same could have established that.

By the way, if anyone knows exactly why these dialogs can block your script, I'd sure love to hear it.

Right. It just doesn't make sense to me. Like even consolewrite doesn't work.

[JohnOne]

I know, it seems odd, almost like it's a message box in your script.

Hopefully, someone with more knowledge than us, will clear it up.

_IEAction($TrashCan, "click")
ConsoleWrite("DONE")

Is my code, ConsoleWrite never happens until I manually click the close button

this is an equivalent:

$TrashCan.click()
ConsoleWrite("DONE")

Try it and say whats happend next (after click).

Then I thin I can answer further.

Still nothing written in Console

So AutoIt is using ActiveX method click() on object $TrashCan
AutoIt waiting for ActiveX object return with success or error.
And this for me seams to be natural behavior of each other Develpment Environment (just my feeling not tested).

What I can think is:
I do not know how exactly  AdLibRegister works, but for me it seams in this case  AdLibRegister do not works.
It is only so my thinking, not proven, and not confirmed by AutoIt DEV.

To proove or negate it I'lltry to do some testing, when I come back home from my work.

• AdlibRegister
• Example 2 under _IEAction in the Help file
• Second script
• Use Winactivate on IE and then the Dialog box.

AdlibRegister works also:

; Open a browser with the basic example page, insert an
; event script into the head of the document that creates
; a JavaScript alert when someone clicks on the document

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IE_Example("basic")
_IEHeadInsertEventScript($oIE, "document", "onclick", "alert('Someone clicked the document!');")
AdlibRegister('CloseAlert',1000)
$tdStart=TimerInit()
While TimerDiff($tdStart)<60000
    Sleep   (1000)
WEnd
_IEQuit($oIE)

Func CloseAlert()
    ControlClick('Meldung von Webseite','Someone clicked the document!',2)
EndFunc

you have to change 'Meldung von Webseite' to title used in your language.

Indeed....

Here is little impoved example:

; Open a browser with the basic example page, insert an
; event script into the head of the document that creates
; a JavaScript alert when someone clicks on the document

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IE_Example("basic")
_IEHeadInsertEventScript($oIE, "document", "onclick", "alert('Someone clicked the document!');")
AdlibRegister('CloseAlert', 1000)
$tdStart = TimerInit()
While TimerDiff($tdStart) < 60000
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd
_IEQuit($oIE)

Func CloseAlert()
    Sleep(3000)
    ControlClick('[CLASS:#32770]', 'Someone clicked the document!', 2)
EndFunc   ;==>CloseAlert

 

[mLipok]

But we are talking about this kind of issue:

Spoiler

; Open a browser with the basic example page, insert an
; event script into the head of the document that creates
; a JavaScript alert when someone clicks on the document

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IE_Example("basic")
_IEHeadInsertEventScript($oIE, "document", "onclick", "alert('Someone clicked the document!');")
AdlibRegister('CloseAlert', 1000)
$tdStart = TimerInit()

_IELinkClickByIndex($oIE,0)
MsgBox(0, 'Test', 'Why this is not PopUp ? Because AdlibResister not working ? Maybe AutoIt still waiting for return from Click ?')

While TimerDiff($tdStart) < 60000
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd
_IEQuit($oIE)

Func CloseAlert()
    Sleep(3000)
    ControlClick('[CLASS:#32770]', 'Someone clicked the document!', 2)
EndFunc   ;==>CloseAlert

 

 

 

some better example:

; Open a browser with the basic example page, insert an
; event script into the head of the document that creates
; a JavaScript alert when someone clicks on the document

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IE_Example("basic")
_IEHeadInsertEventScript($oIE, "document", "onclick", "alert('Someone clicked the document!');")
AdlibRegister('CloseAlert', 1000)
$tdStart = TimerInit()

; _IELinkClickByIndex($oIE, 0) - replacement
$oIE.document.links.item(0).click()

MsgBox(0, 'Test', 'Why this is not PopUp ? Because AdlibResister not working ? Maybe AutoIt still waiting for return from Click ?')

While TimerDiff($tdStart) < 60000
    Sleep(10)
WEnd
_IEQuit($oIE)

Func CloseAlert()
    Sleep(3000)
    ControlClick('[CLASS:#32770]', 'Someone clicked the document!', 2)
EndFunc   ;==>CloseAlert

It doesn't matter what page URL. Any page that has autoit click the javascript

1. AdlibRegister
2. Example 2 under _IEAction in the Help file
3. Second script
4. Use Winactivate on IE and then the Dialog box.

The only thing that has worked is using a second script, which I don't want to do.

Dude, I asked you to do a forum search for "deadlock", and use one of THOSE solutions...

I had a similar problem time ago, here some links of possible solutions and a possible explanation of what's causing the problem: (thanks to jdelaney )

The first link requires another script to run. I don't want that.

Thanks for the links tho!

I see that using focus instead of click and then sending enter worked for you, but for some reason it doesn't work here.

But I can like the idea of running the exe to click the ok button right before the dialog is clicked. So I'll just use that. Thanks

 

[Dgameman1]

Also, how can I make the javascript dialog hidden as well? I'm not sure that would be possible with the script checking to see if it's open.

in some cases I had to ControlSend {TAB}{ENTER} instead of juast one {ENTER}
try like this:

ControlSend($hwnd, "", "", "{TAB}{Enter}")

p.s. don't ask me why this appens...

[junkew]

Try iuiautomation thread in examples section. It will not block your script.

When I set it to that, it just ended up click the next item in the IE Window

Not sure how to go about using that =/ I don't see where it would be applicable to my script, but that's just cause I don't think I understand it

[junkew]

iuiautomation thread shows can click allmost on everything thats recognized without blocking your script. See the examples.zip in that thread and a few of them deal with browsers.
