Script waits till the page is loaded?


Recommended Posts

ok so i have a script right now that will open up a website and start to type a log in with a password. the problem is, my internet cant keep up with the speed of the script. my solution was to add a sleep() while the page loaded. that worked for most of the time and yet it still didnt work the way i wanted it to. so i saw that there was a pixelchecksum command and i added an If loop that would wait till the checksum was the same as what i set it to. it looks like it works but it still doesnt work 100%

so i was wondering if there was a command that would wait until the webpage is completely loaded and then continue on with the script? can anyone point me in the right direction??

Thx guys!

That will wait until the window is active.

From the help file:

Wait for a browser page load to complete before returning.

#include <IE.au3>

_IELoadWait ( ByRef $o_object [, $i_delay = 0 [, $i_timeout = -1]] )

Parameters

$o_object Object variable of an InternetExplorer.Application or DOM element

$i_delay [optional] Milliseconds to wait before checking status

$i_timeout [optional] Period of time to wait before exiting function (default = 300000 ms aka 5 min)

Return Value

Success: Returns 1

Failure: Returns 0 and sets @ERROR

@Error: 0 ($_IEStatus_Success) = No Error

1 ($_IEStatus_GeneralError) = General Error

3 ($_IEStatus_InvalidDataType) = Invalid Data Type

4 ($_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType) = Invalid Object Type

6 ($_IEStatus_LoadWaitTimeout) = Load Wait Timeout

8 ($_IEStatus_AccessIsDenied) = Access Is Denied

9 ($_IEStatus_ClientDisconnected) = Client Disconnected

@Extended: Contains invalid parameter number

Remarks

Several IE.au3 functions call _IELoadWait() automatically (e.g. _IECreate(), _IENavigate() etc.). Most functions that do this also allow you to turn this off with a $f_wait parameter if you do not want the wait or if you want to call it yourself.

When document objects or DOM elements are passed to _IELoadWait, it will check the readyState of the container elements up to and including the parentwindow.

Browser scripting security restrictions may sometimes prevent _IELoadWait from guaranteeing that a page is fully loaded and can occasionally result in untrapped errors. In these cases you may need to avoid calling _IELoadWait and attempt to employ other methods of insuring that the page load has completed. These methods might include using a Sleep command, examining browser status bar text and other methods. When using functions that call _IELoadWait for objects other than the InternetExplorer (browser) object, you may also be successful by calling _IELoadWait for the browser yourself (e.g. _IELoadWait($oIE)).

The most common causes of trouble are page redirects and cross-site scripting security restrictions associated with frames. Page re-writing techniques employed by some applications (e.g. Gmail) can also cause trouble here.
