this-is-me Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 This makes no sense to me. I am getting all kinds of errors that don't seem to have any bearing to what I am doing: $oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrFunc"); Install a custom error handler Func MyErrFunc() $HexNumber=hex($oMyError.number,8) Msgbox(0,"","We intercepted a COM Error !" & @CRLF & _ "Number is: " & $HexNumber & @CRLF & _ "Windescription is: " & $oMyError.windescription ) SetError(1); something to check for when this function returns Endfunc $ie = ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application") $ie.visible = true $ie.Navigate2("http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com") While $ie.ReadyState <> 4 Sleep(250) WEnd Sleep(5000) msgbox(0,"",$ie.frames.length);gives variable must be of type "object" ;msgbox(0,"",$ie.frames.item(0).document.documentElement.innerHTML) ;This one gives some kind of object used outside of a "with" statement or something ;parent.fnScan() Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I think your trouble is that frames are children of the document object rather than the application object.

this-is-me Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) Thank you so much dale, I forget that in javascript, anything directly mentioned in the document object or the window does not need to be pre-mentioned. Another question is how to call a script function in the page. fnScan is a function created in the main html of the page, but I cannot seem to access it with $ie.fnScan() or $ie.document.fnScan(). I can call $ie.document.frames.item("eContent").parent.fnScan() which doesn't error out, but doesn't function either. Edited May 16, 2005 by this-is-me Who else would I be?

this-is-me Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) Here's another kafuffle, there seems to be a problem with com return values in if statements being assigned instead of compared. See following:$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrFunc"); Install a custom error handler Func MyErrFunc() $HexNumber=hex($oMyError.number,8) Msgbox(0,"","We intercepted a COM Error !" & @CRLF & _ "Number is: " & $HexNumber & @CRLF & _ "Windescription is: " & $oMyError.windescription ) SetError(1); something to check for when this function returns Endfunc $ie = ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application") $ie.visible = true $ie.Navigate2("http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com") While $ie.ReadyState <> 4 Sleep(250) WEnd Sleep(10000) ;MsgBox(0, "", $ie.document.frames("eContent").document.all(0).tagName) for $i = 0 to $ie.document.frames("eContent").document.all.length if $ie.document.frames("eContent").document.all($i).getAttribute("href")="javascript:parent.fnScan();" Then MsgBox(0,"", $ie.document.frames("eContent").document.all($i).tagName) ;$ie.document.frames("eContent").document.all($i).click() ExitLoop EndIf Next ;msgbox(0,"",$ie.frames.item(0).document.documentElement.innerHTML) ;parent.fnScan()With the above, each and every element in the page has the href assigned to it instead of being compared to it. I think this is one Sven may need to look into as a bug. I will make a duplicate post in the bug reports to bring it up as a current issue. Edited May 16, 2005 by this-is-me Who else would I be?

DaleHohm Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 It appears that AutoIt allows '=' to be used as both an assignment and comparison operator and must make decisions on what to do based on context. Perhaps you could try '==' as an alternative to see if it makes the correct choice.

this-is-me Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 Just so you know, I did resort to that, but it also uses == as a literal string, so If there is a difference in capitalization, it would not be a viable solution.
