autoIT script not able to click on the Modal dialog confirmation in IE8

[PearlJamFanatic]

Hi,

It was working for IE6 all this while. We plan to move the application to IE8 and the script no longer works. As far as i can see WinExists is failing to resognise the modal dialog's presence. Below is the script. Thanks for reading.

expandcollapse popup

#include <File.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", "2") ; set the select mode to select using substring

If $CmdLine[0] < 2 Then; Arguments are not enough
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Supply all the arguments, Modal Dialog title (Mandatory)")
    Exit
EndIf

_FileCreate($CmdLine[2])
$file = FileOpen($CmdLine[2], 2)

;added for debug
msgbox (0,"Alert Title", $CmdLine[1])
If WinExists ($CmdLine[1]) Then
    MsgBox(0,"Alert",$CmdLine[1])
Else
    MsgBox(0,"Alert","don't exist")
    EndIf
;added for debug ends

If Not WinWait($CmdLine[1],"",30) Then ; match the window with substring
    FileWrite($file, "Confirmation/Alert Pop-Up did not appear.")
    FileClose($file)
    Exit
Else
    $title = WinGetTitle($CmdLine[1])
    If Not WinActive($title) Then WinActivate($title)
    $oIE = _IEAttach($title, "embedded")
    $sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)
    FileWrite($file, $sHTML)
    Send("{ENTER}")
    If WinExists($title) Then
        WinClose($title)
    EndIf
    FileClose($file)
EndIf

Well I suppose you could just use the send command after a delay, just to make sure the dialog has popped up

is the dialog important.

The title text changed from "...Web Page dialog" to "...Webpage Dialog". I guess this change will be universal and hence apply to all IE6 to IE8 migration projects. thanks for your help.
