anilmanyam 0 Posted March 28, 2011 I am a newbie and trying to do a simple task to automate navigation through a website When i open the url with the _IEcreate function a new window opens and i am able to click any link on it Once the control navigates to the next page i am not able to click on any link Here's my script #include <IE.au3> $URL= "http://www.rediff.com" $IE = _IECreate ("http://www.rediff.com") WinActivate("[CLASS:IEFrame]","") WinSetState("[CLASS:IEFrame]", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) _IELoadWait($IE) $string1 = "News" _IELinkClickByText($IE,$string1) ;Control navigates to the next page now string2 = "More New Stories" _IELinkClickByText($IE,$st2) ; Not working ;I guess $IE still points to "http://www.rediff.com" ;What do i need to do to make $IE point to the current page now so that i can click a link on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaleHohm 65 Posted March 28, 2011 Are you running this in SciTe with F5? If not, do so and look at thte messages in the console at the bottom. You say you rea not getting an error, but you are not checking the return status of _IELinkClickByText, so you would not know unless you can see the console.
