Get HTML element by attribute

Question

I'm using AutoIt to parse HTML. I want to get all HTML elements by an attribute's value. Example:

<div data-source="xxx">The div content XXX</div>
<div data-source="zzz">The div content of ZZZ</div>

The div -element containing the attribute-value pair data-source="xxx" should be selected.

Answer 1

Try this?

$ohtml = ObjCreate('HTMLFILE')
$ohtml.body.innerHTML = '<div data-source="xxx">The div content XXX</div>' & @CRLF & _
                        '<div data-source="zzz">The div content of ZZZ</div>'    

Dim $selected_node
For $div in $ohtml.body.getElementsByTagName("div")
    If $div.getAttribute("data-source") = 'xxx' Then
        $selected_node = $div
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

ConsoleWrite($selected_node.innerHTML & @CRLF)
