Doesn't work

Does this mean that the link isn't found? Or that the _IEAction command fails? Or ???

P.S. You could add some ConsoleWrite command inside your For loop so that you can "observe" as each link in processed, whether the code inside the If is triggered, etc.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention it. I added 

Else
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"Error", "not found")

That means the text was not found. I have tested it on all menu items and no text was found because this else statement always return.

Your ExitLoop is in the wrong place, which would have been more apparent if you had added the ConsoleWrite commands that I previously suggested.

ConsoleWrite($oLink.innerText)

Returns "Menu Item 1" only.

Right... because as I stated before

Try running this code (page needs to be already open in IE) --

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IEAttach("pagi_blog", "url")

$oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "submenu2")
$oLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oDiv, "a")
;$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oDiv)

For $oLink In $oLinks
   ConsoleWrite($oLink.innerText & @CRLF)

   If StringInStr($oLink.innerText,"Menu Item 1") Then
       ConsoleWrite('Found link!' & @CRLF)

      _IEAction($oLink, "click")
      ExitLoop
   EndIf
Next

Ok, I finally got it. Here´s how I solved it.

Local $sMyString = "Menu Item 2"
Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink In $oLinks
    Local $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
    If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then
        _IEAction($oLink, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

 

Danp2,  thank you very much for your support!
