Having problems with IE functions and Windows 7

[Herb191]

This function runs fine on one computer running XP and just returns a an empty array when I run it on a computer running windows 7 64 bit. Does anyone have any ideas on why and how I can make it work? I am guessing it’s a security issue with IE but I assumed that if I used #RequireAdmin it would work fine. Apparently not! lol

#RequireAdmin
#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$links = google_seach("test")
_ArrayDisplay($links)

Func google_seach($kw_to_search_for)
Dim $array_of_links[1]
    ConsoleWrite(" Waiting for Google to load..." & @CRLF)

    $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com", 0, 1)

    ConsoleWrite("Submiting Google seach for " & '"' & $kw_to_search_for & '"' & @CRLF)
    $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "f")

    $oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "q")

    _IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery, $kw_to_search_for) ;enters the KW's that will be searched

    _IEFormSubmit($oForm)

    $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)

    If IsObj($oLinks) Then ;will attempt to run if $oLinks is an obj
        For $oLink In $oLinks
            $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
            _arrayadd($array_of_links, $sLinkText)
            ConsoleWrite($sLinkText & @CRLF)
        Next
    EndIf
    Return $array_of_links
EndFunc

Yes that is correct.

[wakillon]

Yes that is correct.

Try IE8 compatibility Mode.

[Herb191]

No luck with compatibility view.

Ok well its not a Windows 64 bit thing I just got done installing Windows 7 32 bit on the same computer and I have the same problem. I have the exact same version installed on another computer and it works fine. The only deference is that the computer that it is not working on is installed on a clients computer in the UK. I would think that IE and Google would work the same there though...

Windows 7 Ultimate

64-bit

IE9

Script works fine for me...

[Herb191]

Bump…

Anyone else have a possible solution?

I'm afraid there is a problem with AutoIt and IE9. The ObjName function is returning null for some objects instead of the object type. IE.au3 makes extensive use of ObjName. A bug report has been filed, but I don't believe there has been any work on it. One person has reporterd luck with putting the page in compatability mode.

Thanks Dale,

Downgrading to IE 8 fixed the problem.
