Finding & Clicking A Always Changing Link ID On Webpage?
Jan 15, 2011
I can now navigate to pages, fill forms, submit forms, click elements etc.My next big step will be collecting html element ID's which are constantly different each time I navigate to a page.On the webpage I am working on, each page contains 10 of these ID's.
Now I am just looking to click on one of them at random for right now. It doesn't matter which one. Or perhaps the first one to appear on the webpage.Here is the code that I tried first........it works fine for clicking static buttons (without the random id #'s at the end)
Dim ill As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("ill_btn_")
ill.InvokeMember("click")
End Sub
I guess what I am looking for here is some sort of partial id tag, to let it know to search for the first ID that begins with ill_btn_ ?
I am developing a small software to load an excel file to a website and then create a .kmz file. I have coded up to the file creating point.Now I need some help with the file downloading.The file is something like this "1322559442-10125-61.245.172.28.kmz"And the href value is "/display/1322559442-10125-61.245.172.28.kmz"This is for one file.The next time you upload an excel file to the program you get a different href value.So I want to create a code which can download the first href with the extension
However, I would like to be able to call the *javascript:parent.__doPostBack('Close','')* method from the code-behind file rather than the user clicking the link. I.e., when I have completed my tasks in the application code, call parent.doPostBack as my last function call, which closes the window in question.
When a button is clicked i am creating HTML that will be displayed in the WebBrowser1 control. With this HTML are several links to other pages. Is it possible that when one of these links is clicked, that WebBrowser2 navigates to the page instead of WebBrowser1?
I'm using visual basic 2010 express..I'm building my own web browser and want to add a download manager.I have been able to build one that will download a file if I type the file location into a text box.What I'm trying to figure out is how to have the download manager open when I click on a download link on a web page.How to make the download manager know it is a link to a downloadable file as opposed to something like a link to another webpage?
I want to create a program that when the user clicks button1 it will press a button on a specific webpage.I've done what I want it to do but I have a problem. Before it can get to the page I want a button to be clicked on it has to Agree to some rules, I want to create some code that will click this button when button2 on my form is clicked.I can't seem to find the button ID since there is none so am not sure on what to do.
I've been trying to automate clicking of a few buttons in a website but although i have achieved success in most of the web pages but on one such page i haven't been able to click it.I've been using this syntax to click:
Dim ele As Object For Each ele In WebBrowser1.document.getElementsByTagName("input") If ele.Value = "Attack!" Then ele.Click:
I need to click on link in a table whose id is generated dynamically. I want to click on a link based on a text in some other column in the same row. Tried the following code but unsuccessful
selenium.GetValue("//table[@id=TableID]/tbody/tr[td/a/text()='Testing']") Also trying with the following code Selenium.click("xpath=id(TableID)/tbody/tr[td/text()='Testing']//input [@value='Delete']")
First, let me clarify that the links call on javascript/jquery functions. The href="#" for ALL links and can not/will not be changed (it's not even my website that I'm grabbing it from). There is no name or id for the <a> tags, so I'll be needing to InvokeMember("click") on the link based on the text that is between the <a></a> tags.
For example: <a staticrndstuff="stone" customrndstuff="waffles" href="#">TextForTheLink</a>
I've tried every method I could find on google and even consulted /g/ to no avail. The 'staticrndstuff' is the same for all links, but the 'customrndstuff' is unique to specific text/links. Usually, for something with an id you can simply use WebBrowser1.document.GetElementById("ElementID").InvokeMember("click"), But how can I have a vb.net forms application click a link on a webpage based on the text between the <a></a> tags or on the static/customrndstuff?
This is the hardest thing I've encountered, which is a bit sad for me.
I have an website that has a datagrid that is pulling information from an SQL database. The user then clicks a link from that grid and is redirected to another page. My question is if a user clicks the first link and is redirected and then a second user clicks the link is there a way to stop that second user from being redirected or sent back to the first page after they click the link? So it would have to somehow detect on the second page that a second user has clicked the same link. Hope this is clear. This is being programmed in VS 2008 vb.net and SQL 2008
I'm having no luck at all clicking the login button of a websiteI frequently spend time on. The login button has no "name or "ID" and I just cannot get it to login.

I have been trying different code for weeks and I have let that button whoop-me. Please Help. This is my main form and my code as of now.
>Private Sub lblPass_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) End Sub Private Sub btnGet_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGet.Click login1.ShowDialog()

I have a vb.net / ado.net application for distributors that queries a sql server db, converts the records to tab delimited text format file. After building the file, the user goes to the website of the manufacturer, logs in to a private area and uploads the txt file.
I would like to add a function to my vb.net code that would launch a browser in a form, load the manufacturer's login screen, load the user id, password and then let the user log in by clicking the login button. Then when the next page loads, I'd like to have the text file I just created pop into the web page text box for file name, choose a couple of radio button options properly and then let the user click the submit button.

I wanted to make a flow chart with more than 50 labels (see this link for just a small portion of the flow chart [URL]). I looked all around but couldn't find one in VB 2008 with the same problem. but anyway, my questions are:
1. Is there a way to set the color of all the labels instead of just one by one say: Label1.BackColor = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Control) Label2.BackColor = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Control) Label3.BackColor = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Control) ... ... ... There should be a way to loop through them
2. Is there a way for search through the Labels and find for example Label14? or a label with tagindex of 14? I rather be able to find label 14 but the tag also works.
3. Is there a better way to represent flow charts and stuffs like that in VB 2008?
