cheeseslice 0 Posted May 19, 2010 Hi, This is probably quite simple but I can't seem to get anything to work for me. I'm writing this code for intranet pages so I'm just going to put in any old url's to explain what I mean. The script creates a new window and logs in: $oIE=_IECreate("www.google.com",1,1,1,1) _IELoadWait($oIE) $oForm = _IEGetObjByName($oIE,"login") $oUsername = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "name") _IEFormElementSetValue ($oUsername, $username) $oPassword = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "password") _IEFormElementSetValue ($oPassword, $password) _IEFormSubmit ($oForm,1) _IELoadWait($oIE) _IELinkClickByText($oIE,"some link") _IELoadWait($oIE) When I click on the link it will open the page in a new window (this is where I am getting lost) and I want to have control over this window. So I think my question is, how do I reference this new window rather than the original $oIE window that I opened? I have tried using _IEAttach and using the url of the new window but this doesn't seem to be working, I have also tried chaning the code to $oIE2=_IELinkClickByText($oIE,"some link") so that I could then reference $oIE2 instead, but that doesnt seem to work either. I need to get the url of the new page and some text from the body, to do this I was using _IEPropertyGEt but it is just returning a zero when I output it to a msgbox. I hope this makes some sense.

Juvigy 49 Posted May 19, 2010 _IEAttach is the way to go , but i dont see where you create a new window. If submitting the form is opening new window then use _IEAttach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseslice 0 Posted May 19, 2010 _IEAttach is the way to go , but i dont see where you create a new window.If submitting the form is opening new window then use _IEAttach.Hi,Once the form submits, it waits to load and then the links appear. I then use _IELinkClickByText($oIE,"some link") to click on the link that I need which opens in a new browser window. I have been playing about with _IEAttach some more and I think the problem might be that it is not waiting for the page to fully load before it runs, which is why I can't get it to attach properly.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseslice 0 Posted May 19, 2010 Thanks for all the replies, I managed to get it working. For some reason the only way I can get _IEAttach to work is by using instance, don't really know why this is working and it wasn't before but I don't mind! Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juvigy 49 Posted May 19, 2010 That is why you use something like this: For $i=0 To 15 step 1 $oIE =_IEAttach($atachadres,"url") If $oIE <> 0 Then ExitLoop Sleep(1000) Next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
