help with _IEDocInsertHTML in IE9


Recommended Posts

OK so i have a script i run for work that helps to automate some webtools we use. been using it for a couple years now.

well i got a new computer and had to upgrade IE to IE9 . the script mostly works but has some issues

it would seem that _IEDocInsertHTML() no longer works . not sure if there's something i can do to help this or if there's new security and IE can't be modified by an outside process.

the au3 hasent been updated since 06 so i have the latest version.

_IEBodyReadText() also seems to be acting up and not providing the text as it was.

anyone encounter these problems is there something easy i can do to fix it?

I'm not sure if it applies to the problems you're having but do a search here for IE9 and compatibility mode.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Thanks, but it's not a compatibility mode thing. off or on the behavior is the same. also tried elevating the script by running as admin and still no dice.

after testing i finally fixed it by re-compiling. for reasons i don't understand the old executable just wouldent work. i extracted parts of the code to test the individual functions and they still seemed to work as designed so i just recompiled and now it works again. weird

There have been a lot of changes since 2006, perhaps one/some of the changes makes the UDF more compatible with IE9 than previous versions of it.
