Automating Dropdown Selections with JavaScript in R using remDr
To accomplish this task, you need to find the correct elements on your webpage that match the ones in the changeFun function. Then, you can use JavaScript to click those buttons and execute the changeFun function. Here’s how you could do it: # Define a function to get the data from the webpage get_data <- function() { # Get all options from the dropdown menus sel_auto <- remDr$findElement(using = 'name', value = 'cmbCCAA') raw_auto <- sel_auto$getElementAttribute("outerHTML")[[1]] num_auto <- sapply(querySelectorAll(xmlParse(raw_auto), "option"), xmlGetAttr, "value")[-1] nam_auto <- sapply(querySelectorAll(xmlParse(raw_auto), "option"), xmlValue)[-1] sel_prov <- remDr$findElement(using = 'name', value = 'cmbProv') raw_prov <- sel_prov$getElementAttribute("outerHTML")[[1]] num_prov <- sapply(querySelectorAll(xmlParse(raw_prov), "option"), xmlGetAttr, "value")[-1] nam_prov <- sapply(querySelectorAll(xmlParse(raw_prov), "option"), xmlValue)[-1] sel_muni <- remDr$findElement(using = 'name', value = 'cmbMuni') raw_muni <- sel_muni$getElementAttribute("outerHTML")[[1]] num_muni <- sapply(querySelectorAll(xmlParse(raw_muni), "option"), xmlGetAttr, "value")[-1] nam_muni <- sapply(querySelectorAll(xmlParse(raw_muni), "option"), xmlValue)[-1] # Create a list of lists to hold the results data <- list() for (i in seq_along(num_auto)) { remDr$executeScript(paste("document.
