Script doesn't work because of browser lag.

[IgorChete]

Here's a problematic part of my code:

Sleep(1000)
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE,"input")
For $oInput In $oInputs
if $oInput.value = "Submit" Then 
_IEAction($oInput,"click")
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next

It clicks the button succesfully, but sometimes, because of browser lag when a page is loading, it skips the whole part and doesn't click. Can i somehow make it get collections of 'input' tags until it finds one with the value "Submit", clicks it and then breaks the While loop?

Instead of the sleep, suggest you use

_IELoadWait($oIE)

Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't solve my problem, the button i click and the lag are from a Javascript script inside the page. I should have said that in my opening post.

What i think the solution might be is to read all 'input' type buttons until a button with the 'Submit' value is found. I don't know how to code that though.

I fixed my own problem.

old code :

Sleep(1000)
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE,"input")
For $oInput In $oInputs
if $oInput.value = "Submit" Then 
_IEAction($oInput,"click")
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next

new, working code:

$tmp=0;
While $tmp=0
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE,"input")
For $oInput In $oInputs
if $oInput.value = "Submit" Then 
_IEAction($oInput,"click")
$tmp=1;
ExitLoop
EndIf
Next
WEnd
_IELoadWait ($oIE)

I am trying to get the frame contents of a IE screen, but the script is not waiting until the inner frame is loaded. Need help

Your question is much to vague. what about posting the script that is giving/showing the issue you have?

Here is the script

; submit the page with iframe

$o_submitButton1 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_checkForm,"Submit")

_IEAction ($o_submitButton1, "click")

;; Need to wait for the page to reload with the data

Do

Sleep(1000)

$o_IE2 = _IEAttach("Request Statements","html")

$iError = @error

MsgBox(0,"_IEAttach Loop" , _IEPropertyGet($o_IE2,"title"))

Until $iError = 0

But the screen never gets loaded as long the script is executing

Did you even bother to read the code right above your first post or for that matter any of this thread at all?

If the browser if IE then see the part about _IELoadWait ($oIE).

I did try _IELoadWait() , but it did not make any difference

Show your entire script for see where you place _IELoadWait ($oIE) !
