_IENavigate()

[Bam]

Well what im trying to do is load acouple webpages with _IEnavigate(), it works but my problem is that some webpages like hang (or w/e the term is) resulting in _IEnavigate() with Wait = 1 can take along time for that page to load. So what I have done is made another script to read the status bar looking for the same text then refreshing the page.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

Local $LastStatusText, $Timeout = 0

While 1
    If $LastStatusText == ControlGetText ("Windows Internet Explorer", "", "[CLASS:msctls_statusbar32; INSTANCE:1]") Then
        If $LastStatusText <> "Done" Then
            If $LastStatusText <> "" Then
                $Timeout += 1
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Else
        $LastStatusText = ControlGetText ("Windows Internet Explorer", "", "[CLASS:msctls_statusbar32; INSTANCE:1]")
        $Timeout = 0
    EndIf
    If $Timeout > 50 Then
        Send("{f5}")
        $Timeout = 0
    EndIf
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Problem is this isnt as reliable as I need it to be cause I ran into a webpage that gets stuck a loading 1 last thing that never finishes and it constanly refreshes the page. This isnt the first thing that I have tried but its been the most reliable so far.

I was wounder if any one had any suggestions / ideas.

First of all, stop using $f_wait = 1, so you don't have to go to a separate script to monitor progress.

Once you do _IENavigate(), with $f_wait = 0, then go into a loop where you wait for a particular page element to load:

#include <IE.au3>

Global $sURL = "http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=AutoIt"
Global $oIE, $oStats

$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, $sURL, 0)
While 1
    If _IELoadWait($oIE, 10, 10) Then ExitLoop
    $oStats = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oIE, "resultStats")
    If @error = 0 And IsObj($oStats) Then ExitLoop
WEnd
MsgBox(64, "Test", "Page is done.", 3)

just use IEloadwait with the timout option

It gets the object reference to an element with a name (ID, actually) of "resultStats". While the page is not loaded yet, that function fails because that element doesn't exist yet. Once the page loads, that element exists and it retrieves a valid object reference. So this is how I am testing when the page is loaded. You would have to substitute a different element that applied to your target page.

I thought thats what I did but when I did a search looking for the element I couldn't find it but today I did.

But It seems to work great with what im trying to do. Thx again.
