_IEAttach not finding window

[stephenc01]

I am having a small nervous break down and maybe i am overlooking something.

On Server 2012 with IE10. I have autoIt click a link in IE that opens a new IE Windows. I have the following code that works maybe 1% of the time.

_IEAction($oLink, 'Click')
$windowTitle = "Assessment -"
$handle = WinWaitActive($windowTitle)
$o_popup = _IEAttach($handle,"hwnd")
ConsoleWrite(_IEDocReadHTML($o_popup))
WinClose(HWnd($handle))

Well, what happens when it doesn't work? Error messages? Behavior?

Perhaps add _IELoadWait before your _IEDocReadHTML

that would help, the error i receive is Warning from function _IEAttach, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

Is this a browser popup, or a message from the IE browser? Send us the window-info on it (autoit window info tool)

Its a new windows created via javascript probably.

as a workaround for now, i grab the URL from the windows and start a new ie session to control the popup window.

$handle = WinWaitActive($windowTitle)
Send("!d")
sleep(100)
Send("^c")
sleep(100)
WinClose(HWnd($handle))

$assignmentURL = ClipGet()
$o_IE2 = CreateIESession()
_IENavigate ($o_IE2, $assignmentURL)
