HTML Object Library & Message Box

Hey guys - long time no ask a question

I'm using the HTML Object Library to navigate a web page and automate a process. A one point a message box comes up asking me if I wish to proceed.

The message box is generated from the following javascript function which is called by the onClick event of the button:

Code:

---

        function loadExport() {
                theTransferID = document.detailsForm2.xLayoutLoad.options[document.detailsForm2.xLayoutLoad.selectedIndex].value;
                if (confirm("Are you sure you wish to load this layout?")) {
                        self.location.href="export.php?xType=orders&xCmd=load&xTransferID="+theTransferID+"&xUsername=Steve&xRandID=782399094";
                }
        }

---

I can't edit the script part of the page, so i figured I could just change the onclick event to the javascript I wanted and bypass the function, so I changed it to:

Code:

---

onclick='javascript:self.location.href="export.php?xType=orders&xCmd=load&xTransferID=13&xUsername=Steve&xRandID=782399094";'

---

but when I click the button - it just hangs, and doesn't load the page.

Any ideas why? Am I changing the javascript correctly (the TransferID is put is correct btw)

I could hook the window and press the button through code, but I'd like to do something a little neater if possible.

cheers

Long time no hear from bushmobile....glad to see you are still around. :)

How did you sidestep the issue?

Hi Hack!

I realised since it was just loading a new page (but with the xTransfer parameter set) I could just load that page directly using createDocumentfromURL

Naturally, I realised this after I'd submitted the question and just as I'd laid down to go to bed - ah well!
