Try this script. It shows how can you get links of any html page.
#include <IE.au3>
dim $oIE, $s = ""
$s &= "<HEAD>" & @CR

$oIE = _IECreate()
_IEDocWriteHTML($oIE, $s)
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)
$iNumLinks = @extended
MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found")
For $oLink In $oLinks
MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $oLink.href)
