What's the name for this element area in this pages “inspect element”?

[autohotkeycool]

I'm trying to use this script to list the pace figures displayed in a specific section of the element - but "ele.innerText" isn't working to display the pace figures

So I'm wondering what I should replace "ele.innerText" with so that the pace figures will be displayed

Heres a gif of the element area im trying to download (for each horse, theres 11 horses in this race) , the pace figures are all listed in the "card-entry" classnames https://gfycat.com/SameLastingHadrosaurus
and heres a link to the page itself https://www.attheraces.com/racecard/Huntingdon/22-December-2020/1535/pacechart

Code: Select all

    URL := "https://attheraces.com/racecard/Huntingdon/22-December-2020/1535/pacechart"

        tooltip
    
        document := ComObjCreate("HTMLFile") ; Create an HTML file in memory
        document.write(page)
    
        elements:=document.getElementsByClassName("card-entry") ; Get elements with class "card-entry"
        loop {
            try ele:=elements[A_Index-1] ; loop through each element
            catch ; Above line gives error when we run out of elements
                break ; Then we break out of loop
            msgbox % ele.innerText ; Display its innerText for example
        }
    
        return

On that page open chrome dev tools (press F12 or Ctrl+Shift+J) and enter this document.getElementsByClassName("card-entry")[0].innerTexton the Console tab.

based on what xtra said try this

Code: Select all

    URL := "https://attheraces.com/racecard/Huntingdon/22-December-2020/1535/pacechart" 
        tooltip Downloading page
        page:=download(URL) ; Download page to memory
        tooltip
    
        document := ComObjCreate("HTMLFile") ; Create an HTML file in memory
        document.write(page)
    
        elements:=document.getElementsByClassName("card-entry") ; Get elements with class "card-entry"
        loop {
            try ele:=elements[A_Index-1].innerText ; loop through each element
            catch ; Above line gives error when we run out of elements
                break ; Then we break out of loop
            msgbox % ele ; Display its innerText for example
        }
    
        return

when you get all elements from html or IE it will make an object which has key called length and you can simply call it elements.length

Code: Select all

elements := document.getElementsByClassName("card-entry") ; Get elements with class "card-entry"
loop, % elements.length
	msgbox, elements[A_Index-1].innerText

I tried AHKStudent script but for some reason it gives error "call to nonexistant function" https://i.imgur.com/HnDJvY9.png

also tried using Xeo786's but it just said "elements[a_index-1].innertext https://i.imgur.com/PlijnTX.png

Didn't try either code, but you have the missing function named Download in your original code in the first post of this topic. So that shouldn't be an issue.

Also, there is probably only a % missing : msgbox, % elements[A_Index-1].innerText

[autohotkeycool]

ta, I added that % key in there and Xeo786's runs now

but it doesn't appear to show the Pace number for the page I download

E.g. As you can see here "barbarian" pace is 8 https://i.imgur.com/yf9Zmkp.png

but the downloaded page doesn't say 8 on it anywhere

I'm trying to download the section of the element that has the pace rating figure on it

Code: Select all

    tooltip Downloading page
    page:=download(URL) ; Download page to memory
    tooltip

    document := ComObjCreate("HTMLFile") ; Create an HTML file in memory
    document.write(page)

elements := document.getElementsByClassName("card-entry") ; Get elements with class "card-entry"
loop, % elements.length
	msgbox, % elements[A_Index-1].innerText


    return

        whr.WaitForResponse()
        return whr.ResponseText
    }

Or is it not possible to download the section of the element that contains the pace figures?

document.getElementsByClassName("track__bar js-width js-width--is-initialised")[6].style.width = 90%

I was just showing the result which is 90%
try:
Msgbox % elements := document.getElementsByClassName("track__bar js-width js-width--is-initialised")[6].style.width

if you want to loop over all the elements of that type:

Code: Select all

elements := document.getElementsByClassName("track__bar js-width js-width--is-initialised")
loop, % elements.length
	msgbox, % elements[A_Index-1].style.width

[autohotkeycool]

Or is it not possible to download the section of the element that contains the pace figures?

document.getElementsByClassName("track__bar js-width js-width--is-initialised")[6].style.width = 90%

ah I understand what you mean now, so it does give the pace figures, the 90% is pace of 9



but where did you get this result? When I run the script I mentioned in this post https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=84774#p371987

there's no

document.getElementsByClassName("track__bar js-width js-width--is-initialised")[6].style.width[/c] = 90%

to be found in the popup box

        whr.WaitForResponse()
        return whr.ResponseText

would anyone have any idea what changes I need so that the page that downloads will show the pace ratings?
