Automate IE - How to run javascript function as a url or Find a Link 1

I am trying to find a link on a web page but I am unable to find it with VBSCRIPT but cannot find it. So I am now trying to find out how to run Javascript function. Either way I cannot click the link or run the javascript function. Help?

I have tried several different things to find it the link but i can't seem to find it.

Here is the Code I have tried.
Code: 
set urls = ie.document.all.tags("a")
For x = 0 to (urls.length)-1
    wscript.echo urls(x).innerHTML & " : " & urls(x).href
Next
wscript.echo "Number of URLs:", urls.length, vbNewline

I tried this and it gave me zero url's.

Here is the html code:
Code: 
<a href=javascript:doSubmit('lnvprl','') title="Display VPS Printer List">VPS Printer List</a>

I also have tried to run the javascript code with this:
Code: 
ie.navigate2("javascript:doSubmit('lnvprl','')")

But this doesn't do anything...

Can anyone shed some light on this?

[1] The way of referencing "urls" collection should be just fine. If the ie visible is set to true, you should be able to see the page. Is there loading problem 404 or unable to connect...?

[2] You should quote the href.
><a href=javascript:doSubmit('lnvprl','') title="Display VPS Printer List">VPS Printer List</a>
[tt]<a href=[red]"[/red]javascript:doSubmit('lnvprl','')[red]"[/red] title="Display VPS Printer List">VPS Printer List</a>[/tt]

[3] To trigger the anchor link, click method should be fine.
[tt] url(x).click() 'for some x[/tt]

Ok, I have tried to do this:
Code: 
set urls = ie.document.all.tags("a")
For x = 0 to (urls.length)-1
    wscript.echo urls(x).innerHTML & " : " & urls(x).href
Next
wscript.echo "Number of URLs:", urls.length, vbNewline

It comes back with zero URL's found even though there are several used in this page. Is there another way I can search thru links/urls?

The links are all in Tables, could that be a problem?

I am trying some more things and will post any progress.

Thanks for the help.

The appearance is deceptive. Those many things can be in a frame, iframe... View the source code to discover any sign of it.

No frames in the source.
They are all in a form within tables.

Any other ideas?!

I am not that convinced..., but you've the page and I've not.

CHAOS, PANIC, & DISORDER - my work here is done.

Ok, I have found out some new information.

I just tried this:
Code: 
For x = 1 to ie.document.all.length -1
     msgbox ie.document.all.item(x).tagname
next

And this returned back FRAMES tag at least twice.
I am confused. I don't know much about html but it seams as thought this web page is setup differently than normal. Its more like an application.

Is there anyway to search the frames or something?

Any help would be appreciated. :)

In that case, you can get the top level anchor links and to each frame's links like this.
[tt]
wscript.echo "Number of URLs:", urls.length, vbNewline
set urls = ie.document.all.tags("a")
For x = 0 to (urls.length)-1
wscript.echo urls(x).innerHTML & " : " & urls(x).href
Next

set urls=nothing
set cframe=ie.document.frames
wscript.echo "Number of Frames: ", cframe.length:, vbNewline
for x=0 to cframe.length-1
wscript.echo "frame-" & x & " : " & "Number of URLs :" & urls.length & vbNewline
set urls=cframe(x).document.all.tags("a")
for y=0 to urls.length-1
wscript.echo "frame-" & x & " : " & urls(y).innerHTML & " : " & urls(y).href
next
next

Thank you! I am finally able to find the link. This has been very difficult and frustrating.

Thank you for all your help.

I have another problem though, I know need to click a certain link.

How can I do that?

I have tried.
Code: 
url.click()

but no luck, it gives me an error telling me that "object required." So i must be using the wrong syntax.

You have to make sure url as you use it like the above is the reference to the anchor. It is illustrated in my first response.
[tt] urls(x).click() 'for certain index x[/tt]
To identify the index x, you check the criteria such as its href or its innerHTML.

Upon re-read my last but one post, I'd obviously moved the echo line up too much. (You no doubt have noticed it). It should be read like this.
[tt]
set urls = ie.document.all.tags("a")
[blue]'obviously below the urls setup[/blue]
wscript.echo "Number of URLs:", urls.length, vbNewline
'etc etc
[/tt]

Ok, i will try to find it as an anchor.

I did have to move some lines around to get that from your code. No problem

I am getting an error now... when it gets to the line:
Code: 
 set urls=cframe(x).document.all.tags("a")

an error pops up with "access denied". I got this error before but only on certain parts of the frames.

any ideas?

Also I'd another typos.
[tt]wscript.echo "Number of Frames: ", cframe.length[highlight],[/highlight] vbNewline[/tt]

[1] As to the access denied, it is certainly a cross-domain security issue. That seems to suggests that the page in the frame is from some domain alien to the document domain of the top level.

[1.1] If you've the control of the toplevel page, a way out is to make it an hta. This is a hugh operation. You must trust that domain as if you trust your system administrator.
[1.2] Or you may try to put the domain of the page within the frames as a trusted domain.

Both involve security setting, that's your decision.

[2] If the domain in the frames are of the same domain of the top level page, access should be permitted. But I cannot say I know it all.

Well i don't have that kind of control. I guess I am back to square one. I was able to get those links but for some reason i get that error every time now.

Is there a way to call the javascript code?

This site requires me to log on to it which i failed to mention then the page that we have been working on is where I am trying to click this certain link.

This has proved very difficult. I don't want to give up quite yet. If there are any suggestions I am completely open.

Thanks again tsuji!

Ok, got an update.

There are two forms that i find and the first frame i have access too and it has all the links on it.

The second frame is giving me the access denied but I don't need that frame.

Now I just need to click on the link.

It works!!!

I now need to find all the checkboxes and check them all then click button.

I think I can find that.

Thanks again for all your help tsuji, you have been a tremendous help. [bigsmile]
