Take a look at the DemoActions function in wd_demo.au3 for an example of moving the mouse pointer to an element.

As far as giving an element focus, just setting its value with _WD_ElementAction should be enough. You could send it a click with _WD_ElementAction as well.

Thanks Danp2 !

I have solved this problem with the help of _WD_ExecuteScript and javascript.

Dear Danp2 , can you do a tool like Au3Info.exe In free time? through WYSIWYG mode,we can automatically get the Xpath and the attributes of the element when place the mouse in the location of the element of the page. It feels a little troublesome and not too convenient to use browser developer tools.

Only a master like you can make such a tool.

[Danp2]

@Letraindusoir I don't have any plans to create such a tool. Besides, you should really get accustomed to using the browser's built-in dev tools. 😛

You could try this visual tool to get "selectors" of DOM objects: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/195777-ie-dom-elements-visual-selector-tool/
The selectors obtained by this tool can be used in this WebDriver UDF.
Example:
suppose you store in the variable $sMyCssSelector the string of the CSS selector retrieved with the above visual tool, you can then use that variable in the  _WD_FindElement function() in this way:
$RefElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByCSSSelector,  $sMyCssSelector)

Thank you, Chimpp! I did not register this forum for a long time, read a limited number of posts, did not pay attention to the forum already has such a convenient tool. Thank you very much for taking note of this post and recommending similar excellent tools

[Letraindusoir]

please,How do I get the Src-Url of an anchor link?

use "_WD_ElementAction($sSession,$Element_Link, 'value', '')" don't work....

[Danp2]

@Letraindusoir If I'm interpreting your question correctly, you are trying to retrieve the URL associated with a hyperlink. If so, then you might want to try something like this --

_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'attribute', 'href')

 

[Letraindusoir]

Thank Danp2! What is the '$sOption' parameter in "_ WD_ElementAction ($sSession, $sElement, $sCommand, $sOption)" and where can I refer to it?

There are probably some concepts that I'm not very clear about. Is $sElement a dom object?

Func _WD_Action($sSession, $sCommand, $sOption = '')
    Local Const $sFuncName = "_WD_Action"
    Local $sResponse, $sResult = "", $iErr, $sJSON, $sURL

    $sCommand = StringLower($sCommand)
    $sURL = $_Glo_BASE_URL & ":" & $_Glo_PORT & "/session/" & $sSession & "/" & $sCommand

    Switch $sCommand
        Case 'back', 'forward', 'refresh'
            $sResponse = __WD_Post($sURL, '{}')
            $iErr = @error

Could it be changed to:

Func _WD_Action($sSession, $sCommand, $sOption = '')
    Local Const $sFuncName = "_WD_Action"
    Local $sResponse, $sResult = "", $iErr, $sJSON, $sURL

    $sCommand = StringLower($sCommand)
    $sURL = $_Glo_BASE_URL & ":" & $_Glo_PORT & "/session/" & $sSession & "/" & $sCommand

    Switch $sCommand
        Case 'back', 'forward', 'refresh','stop'
            $sResponse = __WD_Post($sURL, '{}')
            $iErr = @error

so, I can use "_WD_Action($sSession, 'stop')" to Stop the web-page being loaded?

@Letraindusoir The UDF is designed to implement the functionality of the webdriver specs. I'm not aware of 'stop' being a valid option to submit to the webdriver, so I suspect the webdriver would return an error if you attempted this.

As far as your question regarding $sOption, this can contain many different values depending on your usage at the time. It's beyond the scope of this thread / UDF to document all of the various attributes, properties, etc that can be retrieved here.

[Letraindusoir]

More Thanks,Danp2. Maybe I confuse dom with webdriver. I can't distinguish the concept between them....

[Danp2]

If your goal is to stop the webpage from loading, then using _WD_ExecuteScript to execute a Javascript command is likely your best option.

[Letraindusoir]

By the way, if I want a more convenient way,Is there a function From webdiver that is functionally equivalent to '_IETableWriteToArray' and '_IEFormElementGetCollection'?

[Letraindusoir]

Because I am used to some of the functions and methods of "IE.au3", I am used to the way of "object.method" or "object.property", so I often understand it by comparing with each other.

_IEFormElementGetCollection

I believe this can already be done with _WD_FindElement (use $sStartElement with $lMultiple = True)

_IETableWriteToArray

This functionality hasn't made it to the UDF yet. @danylarson did some initial work here and also later in the same thread.

Time ago I wrote a function to extract data from  the source HTML code of tables. https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/167679-read-data-from-html-tables-from-raw-html-source/
Seems that that function fits very well to be used with the webBrowser udf. Just save the _HtmlTable2Array.au3 and #include it in your listing.
here a simple example of use (I'm using IE here, but of course you can change settings to let the WebDriver use your preferred browser)

expandcollapse popup

; Open a web page with a table, get a reference to the first table
; on the page (index 0) and read its contents into a 2-D array

#include <Array.au3>
#include 'wd_helper.au3'

#include '_HtmlTable2Array.au3' ; <- get it from blow link
; https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/167679-read-data-from-html-tables-from-raw-html-source/

; === setup WebDriver for IE ===============
$_WD_DEBUG = False
Global $sDesiredCapabilities
Global $sSession

_SetupIE()
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
; ==========================================

_Example_TableWriteToArray()

Func _Example_TableWriteToArray()

    ; -- open a web page containing a table (ok also if there are more tables)
    _WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.beginnersguidetohtml.com/guides/html/tables/complex-tables")

    ; get a 'list' of the tables in the page
    $aTables = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByTagName, "table", '', True)

    ; get the HTML source of the first table (index 0) change index if you need another table
    $sTable_HTML_source = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $aTables[0], 'property', 'outerHTML')

    Local $aMyTable
    ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ; the _HtmlTableWriteToArray() function extract the data content from the HTML source
    ; and save data in a 2d Array. (if second parameter is true it fill cells of the array
    ; corresponding to the span areas with spanned data (data is spread over the cells)
    ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    $aMyTable = _HtmlTableWriteToArray($sTable_HTML_source)
    _ArrayDisplay($aMyTable, "Data without spread")

    $aMyTable = _HtmlTableWriteToArray($sTable_HTML_source, True)
    _ArrayDisplay($aMyTable, "Data spreaded")
    ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EndFunc   ;==>_Example_TableWriteToArray

_WD_FindElement($sSession, $sStrategy, $sSelector, $sStartElement = "", $lMultiple = False)
Are there any actual examples where '$sStartElement' is not empty? I don't quite understand when $sStartElement is used....

[MONaH-Rasta]

Does anyone can help me to understand how to click on element using right mouse button (contextclick)?

I have tried this code (according to what I found in this thread and wd_demo.au3)

$aElements = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//a[@data-original-title="data 1"]|//a[@title="data 1"]', '', True)

    If @error = $_WD_ERROR_NoMatch Then
;       _TrayTip('Nothing found!')
    Else
        For $aElement in $aElements
;           _TrayTip('Going to click item...')
            _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $aElement, 'click')
            Sleep(1000)
        Next
    EndIf

    $aElements = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//a[@data-original-title="data 2"]|//a[@title="data 2"]', '', True)
    If @error = $_WD_ERROR_NoMatch Then
        _TrayTip('Nothing found!')
    Else
        For $aElement in $aElements
            _TrayTip('Going to right-click item...')
            Local $sAction
            $sAction = '{"actions":[{"id":"default mouse","type":"pointer","parameters":{"pointerType":"mouse"},"actions":[{"duration":100,"x":0,"y":0,"type":"pointerMove","origin":{"ELEMENT":"'
            $sAction &= $aElement & '","' & $_WD_ELEMENT_ID & '":"' & $aElement & '"}},{"button":2,"type":"pointerDown"},{"button":2,"type":"pointerUp"}]}]}'
            _WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sAction)
            sleep(2000)
            _WD_Action($sSession, "actions")
            sleep(2000)
        Next
    EndIf

But right click doesn't "goes" to desired element. I got context menu opened on coordinates x:0 y:0 of document (page). Please, advice.

UPD, Now I see my mistake. I was trying to use "$sElement" but my object is "$aElement". All works well now. Sorry for bothering 😎
