_IECreate opens 2 instances

[jnj]

Hi all,

I'm having a big problem trying to run a simple login in a website.

This is a pretty basic procedure but by using _IECreate it opens two instances of browsers (1 remains blank all the time). I have checked the remarks on help funcion file that's very allright for Vista but I'm using WinXP with IE7.

I would love to stick to _IE functions instead of using ShellExecute, WinWaitActive and so on.

Any help on that would be very much appreciated.

Code sample

#include <IE.au3>

$user = "user"

$pass = "pass"

$url = "https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?.intl=uk&.src=ym"

$oIE = _IECreate ($url)

_IELoadWait ($oIE)

$uForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "loginform")

$uText = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($uForm, "login")

_IEFormElementSetValue ($uText,$user);

$pText = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($uForm, "password")

_IEFormElementSetValue ($pText,$pass)

_IEFormSubmit ($uForm)

I had to fix some typos in your code before I could run it. Needless to say, I cannot reproduce your trouble.

Please describe your symptoms more specifically because if this is not a Vista system, they will not be identical to what has been seen before.

Also, try your code on another similarly configured machine.

#include <IE.au3>

$user = "user"
$pass = "pass"
$url = "https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?.intl=uk&.src=ym"
$oIE = _IECreate ($url)
_IELoadWait ($oIE)

$uForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "login_form")
$uText = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($uForm, "login")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($uText,$user)

$pText = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($uForm, "passwd")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($pText,$pass)
_IEFormSubmit ($uForm)

Hi Dale,

Many thanks for your reply.

The piece of code was just to illustrate roughly what I have. Now, because I was using the company laptop I had security policies applied, once I removed it the application could run fine.

Once more, many thanks for your attention on that.
