IE.au3 Trouble

[vend3r]

Every time i even try to run a simple command with #include <IE.au3>

such as $oIE = _IECreate()

i get this error

i dont think my santax is incorrect, and also i just installed the newest beta

does anyone elese have this problem or know what is going wrong?

also i moved the IE.au3 and the new script i'm working on into the program files/internet explorer dir i dont know if that has anything to do with it or not

thanks vend3r

Hi,

Try to post your script and the address of the WebPage; usually an answer that the element is not present for that error?

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=23")

$o_anchors = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE,"a")
While $o_anchors.item().value < 1

$o_anchors.item(poll).click
  _IEAction($oIE, "refresh")

this is what i have so far

You're not running it with the latest beta installed..

Then my apologies..I remember getting the same error by running a script that used IE.au3, with the "original" 3.1.0.0 version..absolutely the same..so I supposed that must be it..sorry..

I was having the exact same problem as Vend3r. I updated and everything. BUT I thought i did the beta update when I didnt... Stoopid me. Anyway, if you're still having the problem, might wanna just try the MOST recent and reinstall

Beta files:

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/

Doubt that helped, but perhaps!

Hi,

I think at that site, that the links are on a hidden form (I cannot retrieve the formname)

i can retrieve a lot of links you could click none include "Poll" or "refresh"; see attached txt file

Therefore, the object cannot be retrieved properly and probably a wrong message to "ie.au3".

My 2 penneth, anyway.

The same problem as some others are finding; i think dale is trying to get a mechanism for reading those hidden frames; may not be possible from pure "COM"?

Best, Randall

[randallc]

here is list by name of opened site from links;

it may still e you need to define more clearly what link you are trying to click, and just click onn it.

I have not used "tagcollection"; it could be a problem there; check with Dale?)
