jQuerify a web page (injecting jQuery)

[Gianni]

An example on how to inject jQuery into a web page
It can be useful to manage the page from AutoIt using jQuery.
Idea from here: http://www.learningjquery.com/2009/04/better-stronger-safer-jquerify-bookmarklet
Suggestions and improvements are welcome

I have IE8 in Win7 and the code did not do anything, no MsgBox, nothing.  

[Gianni]

Hi @argumentum, thanks for the feedback,

I suppose you has trouble downloading the jQuer library from the link.
try to see if you can download it manually (from the same link or find another one) and save it in the same directory of the script and then modify the AutoIt code by commenting out the line marked with "; <--- from an url" and use the line marked as "; <--- from a file" so to use a jQuery library loaded from the local file instead of from the url. (btw (I don't say for You, but I just say for the record) the file name in the "; <--- from a file" line has to be adjusted accordingly)."
Please let us know what happens .... Thanks.

[Gianni]

Hello,
I've modified a bit the script to chek the IE version and use appropriate commands to get reference to the javascript eval() function. At the moment I've access only to an IE version 11 and I can not test if it works on IE < 11
Could someone please check if this script is working on IE versions lesser than 11.
It should inject jquery (if not already present in the page), show the jquery version (injected or already present) and use jquery to make the google logo disappear from the page (just for a test).
Thanks for the help

Good job!

This will come in handy! 

 

EDIT

@Chimp

You can test all versions by using _IECreateEmbedded and setting FEATURE BROWSER EMULATION to emulate IE10 on Autoit.exe

 

#RequireAdmin

FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION("AutoIt3.exe", 10001)


Func FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION($sExe, $iVer)
    Local $key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION"
    Local $key64 = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION"

    ; If OS IS 64 bit
    If @OSArch === "X64" Then $key = $key64

    RegWrite($key, $sExe, "REG_DWORD", $iVer)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error)
EndFunc

Greetings,

  I am attempting to use this code so as to be able to expose Jquery commands to AutoIT.  It seems very promising however I keep getting this error:

$oIE.document.parentWindow.setTimeout('document.head.eval = eval', 0)
$oIE.document.parentWindow^ ERROR

it happens in the part where the function checks if the IE version is "11" or better...can I get some idea what the problem is here?  I'm using Windows 10.  I thank you in advance if anybody can give an explanation...

 

[Danp2]

Suggest that you provide the following --

• Exact version of Windows 10
• Exact version of  Internet Explorer
• Reproducer script

[Burgs]

Thank you for the reply.  As requested:

Edition:  Windows 10 Home
Version:  1703
OS Build:  15063.909
System Type:  64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

IE Info:  (from 'Details' tab in 'Properties' of iexplore.exe in the "Internet Explorer" folder)

File description:  Internet Explorer
Type:  Application
File Version:  11.0.15063.850
Product name:  Internet Explorer
Product Version:  11.00.15063.850
Date modified:  12/31/2017 6:17pm
Original filename:  IEXPLORE.EXE

 

  I actually seem to get the exact same error on 2 scripts I try to run...the first is the one from above, and the second is a script I believe that you ("Danp2") had provided on another post, if I am not mistaken.  I simply copied/pasted and ran both scripts...I did not make any changes or adjustments....

Any help is seriously appreciated...I really need to be able to use actual Jquery commands within AutoIT for a task I need to automate asap...

 

 

[Danp2]

First thing I would check is that your Windows installation is fully patched with the latest updates from MS.

Besides the edition (Home vs Pro), I see that we are on different releases of Windows 10. You could try updating to the later Fall Creators Update to see if the issue is resolved.

[Burgs]

Howdy,

  Thanks for the response.  I have updated my Windows 10.  The update took a while but seemed to go fine without any problems.  I now seem to be up to date and no additional updates are available at this time.  I still have exactly the same problem with this script.  Any work-arounds...?  Plan B...?  Thanks in advance.

[Danp2]

What happens if you do the following --

• Open the IE Developer Tools by hitting F12
• Switch to the console tab
• Enter the string "document.parentWindow" (without the quotes)
• Press Enter

[Danp2]

You could also try adding a COM error handler (see ObjEvent in the help file) to see if that yields any additional details on why the command is failing.

[Burgs]

Hi again,

  I used the 'Developer Tools/Console' as suggested...using the browser window that opened up "Google" by running that first 'Jquerify' script.  I got a lot of "undefined" in [Object Window]...which I assume is not good...and likely the reason I cannot run these scripts...?

  Now the obvious question is what is causing this?  My OS is up to date with the latest updates, IE should be as well since Windows 10 keeps it so...'Active Scripting' is also 'enabled' within IE...what am I missing here?

thanks again for your help.

[Danp2]

Can't tell from your reply if you tried the suggestions from my last two posts. Please advise.

[Burgs]

Hi,

  Have not tried to implement a COM error handler yet...however from your first suggestion:

"

• Open the IE Developer Tools by hitting F12
• Switch to the console tab
• Enter the string "document.parentWindow" (without the quotes)
• Press Enter

"

  It reported a huge long list of items, however it begins with " [Object Window] " and then soon after lists 4 or 5 "undefined"...

  Am I correct in assuming there should be no "undefined" response from the "document.parentWindow" entry...?  If that is the case then that might give a reason why I cannot execute the script(s)...however I do not know what is necessary to correct this issue nor the cause of it. 

[Danp2]

No, that's actually what I would expect to see. So this simple test proves that the document.parentWindow object exists and is accessible from the developer tools. Now need to figure out why the command is failing from within the Autoit code.

Please report back once you've tested with a COM error handler in place.

Do the results vary if you make the following changes?

1. Manually load Google.com in IE
2. Use _IEAttach instead of _IECreate to get a reference to the IE object

 

[Burgs]

Hi,

  Not sure if I did this properly, but here is my code now (note:  I believe you intended to write 'ObjCreate' instead of  'IECreate')...so I commented out that line and inserted the '_IEAttach' line.

  I manually opened up an IE browser and typed in 'www.google.com' into the search bar.  When the page was loaded I ran this script above.  Here are the complete debug console notifications:

  I hope that is along the lines of what you were instructing me to do...and if so then I hope it is helpful information.  Thanks again.

No. I meant to modify the original script to use _ieattach instead of _iecreate.

Trying to see if maybe the issue is related to page not being fully loaded.
