Help with conditionals

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 16.2007

Hi there, I’m somewhat new to programming and I was wondering if anyone could give me some help with a script I want to create that has some conditionals in it.

I’ll give you a rough idea of how I want to make it to work, in code format, but not in code.

LOOP // to constantly parse the website
IF textOne == “Welcome” {
Click Link x
}
ELSEIF textOne == “About” {
Click Link y
}
ELSEIF textOne == “What” {
Click Link z
}

Basically, I want the script to look at the page and look for some text, textOne (var isnt important). If the text “Welcome” (for example) is found it clicks a certain link, if its something else that is defined, it will click a different link. The link it clicks will be based on the text between the < a > and < / a > because the URLs are dynamic. ie: [url]http://www.what.com/what?p=ashdsahdhads[/url].

does this sound at all possible?

thanks

This script will function properly.

If you need I can be more detailed..

Let Me know.


<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

Welcome Click Here: <href="http://craigslist.thingweb.com">link text to find</a>

<script language="JavaScript">

var WebPageText = document.body.innerHTML;

var anchorText;

// This is the basic idea of what you want to do

var pattern = /Welcome/i;

var LinkText = "link text to find";

if (pattern.exec(WebPageText) != null){

anchorText = document.getElementsByTagName("a");

for (i = 0; i < anchorText.length; i++) {

if (anchorText[i].innerHTML == LinkText) {

alert('Found it');

anchorText[i].click();

}

}

}



</script>

</body>
