I am currently experimenting something, and I became to have to click a button on a website which I didn't make, automatically using files made up of javascript and other web languages.

I read this one: How do I programmatically click a link with javascript?

But if I want to auto-click a website which I didn't make, so I can't get access to the website's files. Then, should (or can) I load the website's .php or .html and attach my snippets which contain document.getElementById('yourLinkID').click(); ?

If I can load the website's files, and attach my code and make it run, How can I do that? Or is there other possible ways?

Since I try to click a site whose files aren't accessible, I can't figure out how can I click button

  • Open the page in your browser (let's say Google Chrome), press F12 to open browser console and run the following: `document.getElementById('yourLinkID').click()` – leo.fcx Feb 03 '16 at 14:28
  • You can try to load the external page in an iframe. Via the iFrame-Handle you may get access to the dom-elements. – Fearodin Feb 03 '16 at 14:30

There are three ways I can think of:

  1. Open the 'developer tools' in your browser, and copy & paste your snippets there.
  2. Create a Chrome plugin to attach the snippets and click the link.
  3. Run something like Selenium ChromeDriver, and instruct it to go to the site mentioned and execute the document.getElementByid('yourLinkID').click()
