Cannot get IE_ExtractTagByName to work

Since this silly forum keeps telling me I cannot reply so soon after my last post (which was >12 hours ago) I had to create a new user. How pants is that?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't work.

In fact, returning the inner HTML is not necessary either since IE_ExtractTag returns valid data without requesting the inner html.

I used
IE_ExtractTag> and passed the id instead of the name and when the checkbox is checked it returns :CHECKED

I am trying to use IE_ExtractTagByName, but it doesn't seem to work.

Here is the HTML I am trying to extract from:



TEST CHECK



Here is how I called IE_ExtractTagByName:

IE_ExtractTagByName>%IE%,,INPUT,testcheck,0,buffer,r
MessageModal>%buffer%

but buffer is always empty.

Note that IE_ExtractTag with an id == 0 seems to work OK.

I am using ver 11.1.19 - just an eval copy at this stage. If I can get this to work I will probably purchase.

Actually once I posted this, it modified the HTML slightly.

The INPUT tag has the following options (that were stripped out when I posted):

INPUT type='checkbox' name='testcheck checked

Try changing to:

IE_ExtractTagByName>%IE%,,INPUT,testcheck,1,buffer,r

At present you're asking it to return only text, but an Input has no inner text. So ask it to return the HTML instead.
