IE.au3 (586) error when closing IE window

[melkortheevil]

Hi,

the example code below opens IE window on button click. I am trying to close the IE window on second click and break the running function.

I am asking for help with the following issues:

1. If you don't wait long enough to see autoit web site loaded there is an error message in AutoIt cosole and the script will exit. I guess that's because $oIE doen't exist anymore.

IE.au3 (586) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".

2. If you wait long enough you can close IE but the function is still running as you can see in console. Is there a way to break the running function?
