I'm trying to click on specific "hidden" fields on a web page and I've installed debugbar (as per Click a button in a webpage - Started by Mithrandir, February 15, 2010 ) to narrow it down but I'm not quite sure how to convert the info from debugbar to the appropriate IE calls.  I just want to click here and then enter in some data.

Document
 HTML
   BODY
    Div class=urlconverter
      DIV id=stepConvert
        DIV class=urlconverter-section-1
          DIV class=container
            DIV class=urlconverter-section-left-1
              DIV class=class=container
                DIV class=urlconverter-section-1-1
                  DIV class=row
                    DIV class=col-sm-12
                      UL class=urlconverted-section=1=1=form
                        LI
                          INPUT id=target

Try something like this:

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate('http://yui.github.io/yui2/docs/yui_2.9.0_full/examples/button/btn_example05.html', 1)
Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")
For $oInput In $oInputs
    If $oInput.id = "firstname" Then _IEFormElementSetValue($oInput, "John")
    If $oInput.id = "lastname" Then _IEFormElementSetValue($oInput, "Doe")
Next

There are 50 items that match that and many of them have blank .ids.  I can never know I am at the one I need.  Now, I kind of have it working with this:

$colLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, 'div')
    For $oLink In $colLinks
        If $oLink.className() = 'urlconverter-section-1-title' Then
            $x = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, 'screenx')
            $y = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, 'screeny')
            writelog($x,$y)
            MouseClick("",$x+20,$y+50)
            Send($url)
            Sleep(2000)
            Send("{ENTER}")
        EndIf
    Next

but, admittedly, it is rather crude and prone to error.

 

ps  I haven't even gotten to the "hard" part yet!

Did you try my example?  I'm not sure why you're targeting a div rather than an Input button, each button has to have a unique id/name.  Do you have a URL that we can test?

You can use my signature to return an array of matching dom objects based on a xpath...if you find that the _IE functions to get specific enough to find your object.

Ah, thanks to both jd and Subz (and Dale Holm too) for the info as I was able to make quite a bit of progress here.  I have a skeleton working but I have a sleep statement I'd like to replace.

So, when I call _IECreate, _IELoadWait is implied.  However, when I click on a button that loads a new page or redirects to another url, how do I "wait" for that task to complete before proceeding with my next step?  I tried putting _IELoadWait but that doesn't work.  If I don't put that SLEEP statement in there, the whole script fails later with "The requested action with this object has failed" on the $oInput.href reference.  Even with the SLEEP statement, I get the occasional "The requested action with this object has failed" but I'm sure increasing the SLEEP time will solve that.

Before I do that ... how can I code so that I don't have to rely on that SLEEP statement?

Func dl($url,$dest)

    _IEErrorNotify(True)
    writelog($url,$dest)
    If FileExists($dest) Then Return

    $oIE = _IECreate('https://www.onlinevideoconverter.com/video-converter')

    ;~ Add URL
    $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, 'input')
    For $oInput In $oInputs
        If $oInput.id = 'texturl' Then
            _IEFormElementSetValue($oInput, $url)
        EndIf
    Next
    Sleep(2000)

    ;~ Click Start Button
    $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, 'a')
    For $oInput In $oInputs
;        writelog('id',$oInput.id)
        If $oInput.id = 'convert1' Then
            _IEAction($oInput, 'Click')
            _IELoadWait($oIE)
        EndIf
    Next
    SLEEP(10000)

    While True
        ;~ Download file
        $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, 'a')
        If @error = 0 Then
            If IsObj($oInput) Then
                For $oInput In $oInputs
                    writelog('ID',$oInput.ID)
                    If StringInStr($oInput.href,'onlinevideoconverter.com/download?file=') Then
                        InetGet($oInput.href, $dest,0,1)
                        _IEQuit($oIE)
                        Return
                    EndIf
                Next
            EndIf
        Else
            writelog('@error',@error)
        EndIf
        sleep(500)
    WEnd

EndFunc

What I have found is try and use IECreate with attach or IEAttach so it doesn't create new instances helps.  You could use something like

While _IEPropertyGet($oIE, 'Busy')
    Sleep(50)
Wend

Or look for something else on the page in the page properties to see when to move to the next action.

Hope that helps.

Subz ... excellent!
