Javascript Form / Button in Applescript

[adayzdone]

I am writing a script to add an item to card in Applescript. Usually some variant of this works with most shopping sites:

do JavaScript "document.getElementById('addToCart').onclick()" in document 1

However, I am lost here. How would I "click" this one?

a href="javascript:fnAddItemToCartWithAccessories('1218308267319','2074657')" onclick="s_objectID="javascript:fnAddItemToCartWithAccessories('1218308267319','2074657')_1";return this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true">
<img id="addtocart" border="0" alt="Add to Cart" src="http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/en_US/images/global/buttons/btn_addtocart_pdp.gif">

This doesn't make sense on a couple of levels:

onclick="s_objectID="javascript:fnAddItemToCartWithAccessories('1218308267319','2074657')_1";return this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true"

(1) If you use javascript: in an event handler, it must be the very first thing.
That is, onclick="javascript:..."
(2) You have " marks *INSIDE* of a "..." string.

HTML will hiccup on that and it will never get to javascript.

HTML sees your code there like this:

onclick="s_objectID="

javascript:fnAddItemToCartWithAccessories('1218308267319','2074657')_1

";return this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true"

As three distinct separate elements.

It has no idea what to do with the 2nd or 3rd of those.

The code was taken from the Best Buy website. I have included the link in the first post and here is a screenshot from firebug.


I am trying to "click" the add to cart button using a do Javascript command inside an Applescript.

Examples of Applescript/Javascript for other sites are:

do JavaScript "WALMART.cart.checkout();" in document 1

do JavaScript "document.getElementById('addToCart').onclick()" in document 1

do JavaScript "document.forms[1].submit();" in document 1

Bizarre.

When I view it with FF and Firebug, I only see

<a href="javascript:fnAddItemToCartWithAccessories('1218308267319','2074657')">

Nothing else in the <a> tag, at all.

Well, in any case, I *THINK* you could do it by looking for the id of the <img> there and then going "up" in the DOM to the <a>.

Something like

document.getElementById("addToCart").parent.onclick()

maybe?

That didn't work either! Thanks for your time though.

You know, if you had just played around with a bit, you would have gotten it.

eval( document.getElementById("addtocart").parentNode.href.substring(11) );

Note that the id of the image is "addtocart" *ALL LOWER CASE*.

And rather than attempting to make the CLICK on the <a> work for all browsers, since the href is actually a javascript call, I just stripped off the "javascript:" and then called the function via eval. Presto.

[adayzdone]

That worked perfectly. Thank you.

tell application "Safari"
	activate
	do JavaScript "eval(document.getElementById('addtocart').parentNode.href.substring(11))" in document 1
end tell

Can you point me in the right direction of the best JS for beginners resource?

Look in the top of the threads list in this forum.

Look at the 2nd and 3rd "Sticky" threads.
