How do I simulate a button click in a browser?

[paulclaude]

Hi,

I would like to simulate a mouseclick on a button that appear in a revBrowser windoid. There's a way to do it?

Thanks

You might be able to do it through JavaScript and the revBrowserExecuteScript function

Thank you, shaosean, I think I could use something like this: "document.getElementById('youridhere').click()".

The problem is that I must click simple href links, without ID (es: <a href="www.google.com">Google</a>).

Any suggestion?

Hi Paul,

can't you just:
...
revbrowserset tBrowserID, "url","www.google.com"
...
instead of really clicking?
Result should be the same


Best

Hi Klaus, this is exactly what I'm doing now. I will continue in this way...

This is an old thread but I just found this and know it will be useful in the future:

Particularly the bit headed Triggering built-in events. I got it working from this directly.

All the best

Interesting that this is such an old thread and yet it still gets a lot of views.

The answer from Pi does work but there is an easier way.
In the demo in the second message here http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=25307 you will find a working method which works reliably and I find easy to use.

My apologies for hijacking an old thread and then pointing you to my own post but my title doesn't look like it would have an answer for this question.
