_IEClickbytext only works on true links (<A> elements), so you can't use to click a SPAN. Did you try searching the forum threads for a solution?

avidovi · May 26, 2016

Thanks @Danp2 i did not know that.

I have searched the forum for a solution but it didn't work.

Can u suggest me one?

Thank a lot..

Local $oClassReturn = $oIE.document.getElementsByClassName("ng-scope")
If Not IsObj($oClassReturn) Then Exit ConsoleWrite("Error in $oClassReturn" & @CRLF)

Local $oTagReturn = $oClassReturn.Item(0).getElementsByTagName("span")
If Not IsObj($oTagReturn) Then Exit ConsoleWrite("Error in $oTagReturn" & @CRLF)

$oTagReturn.Item(0).click()

Hi avidovi,

Without seeing your AutoIT code I can't tell if you're using $oIE as your IE Object handle but if so then try the above code, you may need to increase $oTagReturn.Item(0).click() up by 1 until it corresponds with the correct selection.

Hope this works for you.

As I stated before show little wider HTML snippet, for example inspect the entire row which was showed in screenshot from post #3.
Of course you can edit, and delete some sensitive data.

avidovi · May 26, 2016

@mLipok and @Dent thanks for your help.

I tried Dents option - and i am getting no values at all.

@mLipok as u requested atached the whole row

again thank!!

anyone please?

MichaelHB · May 28, 2016

Its very hard to help when we can not see the URL (i know that it requires username and password) and the code that you are using to try to click. You could be dealing with frames here, have you check that possibilitie?

From what i can see the span element its inside the "a" element so as the func "_IELinkClickByText" use "outerText" it should grab it. From the html that you have provided i have tested and its working. See if you are dealing with frames and test this:

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = ;******* i dont know if you are using IECreate or IEAttach, just put it here
If Not IsObj($oIE) Then Exit ConsoleWrite("Error in $oIE" & @CRLF)

Local $oFrames = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE)
If @error Then
    Exit ConsoleWrite("Error in $oFrames" & @CRLF)
Else
    Local $iNumFrames = @extended
EndIf

MsgBox(0, "", "Nº Frames: " & $iNumFrames)

Local $oFrame = 0
For $i = 0 To ($iNumFrames - 1)
    $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $i)
    If Not IsObj($oFrame) Or @error Then Exit ConsoleWrite("Error in $oFrame | @error: " & @error & @CRLF)
    
    _IELinkClickByText($oFrame, "20160526 05:20:46", 0, 0) ;*********** make sure the text is equal in the website
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "@error: " & @error)
    Else
        Exit MsgBox(0, "Link Found", "Check if the link was clicked")
    EndIf
Next

MsgBox(0, "", "Link Not Found")

Exit

Please pay attention to the commented lines.

    ConsoleWrite("TEXT: ")
    For $j = 0 To UBound($aResultText)-1
        If Not StringRegExp($aResultText[0], "[A-Za-z0-9]") Then ContinueLoop

        ConsoleWrite($aResultText[$j])
    Next

    EndIf

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "####### OK #######" & @CRLF)

I need all the console output.

You missed something but i cant know what without seeing all the code that you were using. Both codes worked for you?

avidovi · June 2, 2016

yes

MichaelHB · June 2, 2016

The first code basically does the same as the second, was just to make sure that you have not changed the IE UDF code. As i stated before i cant know what was the issue without seeing the code that you were using.
