IE link object problem

[muhmuuh]

Hello, fellow coders!

I face a very strange problem that I couldn't resolve. The error I get is

D:\links.au3 (118) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
If StringInStr($l.href, $struct[$j]) <> 0 Then
If StringInStr($l.href^ ERROR

I'm trying to browse all links on a site, check if they contain something and do something else

Here is the code

$ls = _IELinkGetCollection($ie)

For $l In $ls

    For $j = 1 To $sn

    If StringInStr($l.href, $struct[$j]) <> 0 Then
           
             $fl = True
         ExitLoop 2

    EndIf

    Next

Next

but one link 'breaks' my program. I can't find a way to solve this. isObj($l) returns true and isObj($l.href) throws the same error. Is there another way to check if $l.href is valid and skip it?

The site I open is http://www.notaalmargen.net/ and the link that 'breaks' the program is 'karen'. When I move the mouse over it I don't see the link url in the bottom of the screen like a normal link. With debugbar I get

href="http://karen092793@hotmail.com"

I've noticed that on another similar site another link containing '@' crashes my program with the same error.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thank you very much

This doesn't make much sense. I've see similar unexplainable issues when the HTML on the page is invalid. I ran this page through validator.w3c.org and there are errors hear that part of the HTML, so that is my best guess.

You can make the error non-fatal by adding _IEErrorHandlerRegister() to your code.

Thank you for the help. I've searched the help file for some general error handler but I don't know why I didn't look in the IE UDF.

About the error - I noticed that my program breaks on other sites on very similar links - 'href="http://something@hotmail.com" Probably those links were supposed to be mailto. But anyway, with _IEErrorHandlerRegister I just skip them. Thank you, Dale, one more time
