AutoHotkey Community

I am in the middle of writing some Javascript automation for a site. Everything else on the site has a standard DOM address, and is easily automated through COM (thanks Sean!). There is one item that DOM inspectors show as an UltraWebMenu, and everything in the menu lacks a formId.

Is anyone familiar with this? Can it be automated through COM?

Do you have a link, or the full HTML? I would assume something like:

[Tyrsius]

The page requires a login, and I would not be able to provide credentials to the community here. I would not feel posting the html would be a good idea either.

Sorry, I know that doesn't help much.

I tried that code, it did not work.

[Tyrsius]

I think this is as good as I will be able to do.

This is the source code containing the element.

[answer4u]

It might just be my computer, but if I save that to an html file & open it, I get a blank webpage.

[Tyrsius]

It is probably very tied into the rest of the page.

The index number is not reliable. It changes based on dynamic page contents. Though always inbetween 224-229, its usually never the same twice.

I did try after getting the index though, and it did not work. If I try the click command through com, it says the element is hidden or does not accept that command.

you could see if the index of the NOBR tagis consistent
document.all.tags[NOBR].item[somenumber].click

you may need to be creative is there consistant text thats unique within it or directly adjacent etc?

According to the Source the NOBR tag for that item is FTSDIS. Though I do not know what an NOBR tag is.

I tried that command as the following, but to no effect. I am probably not entering it correctly.

document.all.tags[FTSDIS].item[0].click
document.all.tags[FTSDIS].item[1].click
document.all.tags['FTSDIS'].item[0].click
document.all.tags['FTSDIS'].item[1].click

I am not sure what the item number is referring to, or where to get it. This is the section I found the NOBR tag, and it has an igitem, if that helps you at all.

[Tyrsius]

javascript: alert(document.all['igUltraWebMenu_3_3_2'].id)

Does get it to display the proper ID, but will still not let me click on it. This seems like its because it is hidden.

It is possible to use the keyboard to navigate the menu, once you have hoevered over one of the nodes, and the use {space} to select the item. Is it possible a submit command could work on hidden or non-visisble items?

nobr is the tag
FTSDIS is the text

your clicks wont work unless you use the tag name

the item number is a 0 based index of the tag your using

note things like <nobr> are a tag and nobr is the tagname

document.all.tags[NOBR].item[1].click
...
document.all.tags[NOBR].item[100]click

Produces no result. Is there a way to pull the nobr index of an element?

[Tyrsius]

I've gone through all the functions, this section of the menu doesn't seem to be tied to anything that I can tell. I think I'm too burned out to continue today. I will stop back tomorrow.

If anyone out there is up to this crazy task, here is the full source from the page. The item I am trying to select is igUltraWebMenu_3_3_2.

The source breaks the code tags, you can download it here.
