If IE HTML Element Exists

Post by Snickers » Tue Mar 08, 2016 2:41 pm

Is there an MS command that checks to see if an IE HTML Element exists before running the following command:

IETagEventByAttrib>%curlink%,INPUT,value=Get Rates,click,

the command clicks as it should, but the button sometimes takes 3-5 seconds to appear after the dropdown box above it is set to the appropriate selection.

So I'd like to run a loop that says

label>submitCheckLoop
ifIEelementexists,value=Get Rates,>
IETagEventByAttrib>%curlink%,INPUT,value=Get Rates,click,
else
wait>2.5
goto>submitCheckLoop
endif

You could use IEGetTagsByAttrib to get the containing tag and then a Position string search or RegEx to see if the element is in there.
