tnhurst57 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How do you Click a cell in a table. I have tried every imaginable combination. Here is my latest version:

     my $mytable = $ie->getTable("id:","SN_include");
      my $HR = $mytable->tableCells(4, 4);
      my $CT = $HR->cellText;
      print "HR=$HR celltext=$CT\n";
      $EL = Win32::IEAutomation::getElement($HR);
      print "EL=$EL\n";
      Win32::IEAutomation::Element::Click($HR);

that's a frontend problem and thus not a matter of perl, but of javascript and html. `<script type="text/javascript"> function haveBeenClicked() { alert("Here we are!"); } </script> <table><tbody> <tr><td onclick="haveBeenClicked()">click me</td> </tr> </tbody></table>` [download] notice that the internet exploder insists on the `<tbody>` element (in case you want to modify the table structure via javascript). -------------------------------- masses are the opiate for religion.

Here is a cutout of the HTML - is there any way around it? `<td Class=TabCell><a target=_new Class=NormalLink OnMouseOver=LinkOve +r() OnMouseOut=LinkOut() OnClick="MyDNetErrorTextWindow('DuvelHealthR +eport3.0', '14', '2823754', 'APM00043404730')"'> Health Report</a></t +d>` [download] 20071025 Janitored by Corion: Added code tags, as per Writeup Formatting Tips	[reply] [d/l]
