_IE() - Win 7 (32)

[SkellySoul]

Hey everyone. I am working on something new and have ran into afew problems

 

This code works believe it or not lol

$oIE = _IECreate($Info_Link[0], 0, 1, 1, 0)
    $Info_Login_Form = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
    $Info_Login_Address = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Info_Login_Form, 0)
    _IEFormElementSetValue($Info_Login_Address, $Info_Account[1])
    $Info_Login_Password = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Info_Login_Form, 1)
    _IEFormElementSetValue($Info_Login_Password, $Info_Account[2])
    _IEFormSubmit($Info_Login_Form, 0) ; Change later!!!
    _IELoadWait($oIE) ; Change later!!!
    $Log_Attempt += 1

The issue is when I do this instead

$oIE = _IECreate($Info_Link[100], 0, 1, 1, 0) ; This is an example of me using IE create for a different page
    ;;;;;;;;;
     ;   We do stuff here...Nothing that should interfere with the bottom code...
    ;;;;;;;;;
    _IENavigate($oIE, $Info_Link[1]) ; We use this instead to enter information
  ;  _IELoadWait($oIE) I have tried playing with this but still nothing...
    $Info_Login_Form = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
    $Info_Login_Address = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Info_Login_Form, 0)
    _IEFormElementSetValue($Info_Login_Address, $Info_Account[1])
    $Info_Login_Password = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Info_Login_Form, 1)
    _IEFormElementSetValue($Info_Login_Password, $Info_Account[2])
    _IEFormSubmit($Info_Login_Form, 0) ; Change later!!!
    _IELoadWait($oIE) ; Change later!!!
    $Log_Attempt += 1

In the helpfile it says the following

New security in Windows Vista causes a new browser window to be created when a browser is instructed to navigate to a URL in a different security zone.
This occurs as well with the initial creation and navigation initiated with _IECreate(). The new window is a new browser instance and the previous browser object variable no longer points to it.
There are several workarounds:
    1) add #RequireAdmin to your code (this is required even if the account is part of the Administrator's Group and will prompt for credentials if necessary),
    2) use _IEAttach() to connect to the new browser window
    3) add the target website to the Trusted Sites security zone in IE,
    4) turn off "Protected Mode" in IE,
    or 5) disable UAC. Care must be taken to understand the implications of disabling IE security features when accessing untrusted sites.

I have added RequireAdmin to my script

I have turned off "Protected Mode" in IE (I use Chrome + Firefox, so I am not too concerned)

I have NOT disabled UAC or added the site it's self as a trusted site in the security zone because I feel the problem is with the script.

 

So what happens?...well when I use the first posted code it logins just fine....when I use the second example...it doesn't enter the information...almost as if it is hanging somewhere...

 

Unrelated issue: Even though the first code does work I have to do this in order for the script to continue

  _IEFormSubmit($Info_Login_Form, 0) ; Change later!!!
    _IELoadWait($oIE) ; Change later!!!

instead of just doing this...if I do it pauses the script...

_IEFormSubmit($Info_Login_Form)

So what exactly is going on with IE and how do I fix these issues. I noticed im not the only one who has ran into these types of problems

 

Thanks!

Have you tried using _IEAttach() after the call to _IENavigate() so that you have a reference to the correct browser object?

So what happens?...well when I use the first posted code it logins just fine....when I use the second example...it doesn't enter the information...almost as if it is hanging somewhere...

 

Run the code in Scite and check the results in the Output window. This should help identify which command is initially failing.

[SkellySoul]

would this work

_IEAttach($oIE)

because , I don't like relying on string names. (especially considering I have quite a few links involved.)

[edit]

It does seem like a good idea..., if it works, and well it is appreciated, it seems like more of a hotfix than getting at the root of the actual problem.

[edit]

Sctie returns no errors for either code...just it pauses the script/hangs or doesn't attach/focus properly.

Have you tried this?:

_IENavigate($oIE, $Info_Link[1]) 
$oIE = _IEAttach($Info_Link[1], 'url')

$Info_Login_Address = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Info_Login_Form, 0)
_IEFormElementSetValue($Info_Login_Address, $Info_Account[1])
$Info_Login_Password = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Info_Login_Form, 1)
_IEFormElementSetValue($Info_Login_Password, $Info_Account[2])
_IEFormSubmit($Info_Login_Form, 0) ; Change later!!!
_IELoadWait($oIE) ; Change later!!!
$Log_Attempt += 1

Do you get *any* output in the Scite Output window?

I tried this

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <String.au3>

Global $oIE, $Link[10], $Account[10], $Log_Attempt = 1, $Max_Attempt = 5

_Singleton(@ScriptName) ; just incase

$Account[0] = "Test" ; Username
$Account[1] = "Test@gmail.com" ; Email
$Account[2] = "123" ; Password

$Link[0] = "https://www.google.com/auth?zone=6" ; Login Link
$Link[1] = "http://www.google.com/index.php?cmd=" ; Main Link

$oIE = _IECreate($Link[1] & "profile", 0, 1, 1, 0) ; We can use the $Array & X to reach destination (Example: $Link[1] & "profile")

_Login()

Func _Login()
    $Info = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)

    $User_Name = _StringBetween($Info, 'id="statbar-account">', '</dt>')
    If Not @Error And $User_Name[0] == $Account[0] Then
        ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "+ We are in!" & @CRLF)
    Elseif $Log_Attempt == $Max_Attempt Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "Exit Script - Failed Attempts")
        _IEQuit($oIE)
        Exit
    Else
        ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "- Attempting to login" & @CRLF)
        
        
        ;We quit $oIE and make a new handle because _IENavigate() hangs...
        ;_IENavigate($oIE, $Link[0])
        _IEQuit($oIE) ; Replace with _IENav
        $oIE = _IECreate($Link[0], 0, 1, 1, 0) ; Replace with _IENav
        ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
        
        
        $Login_Form = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
        $Login_Address = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Login_Form, 0)
        _IEFormElementSetValue($Login_Address, $Account[1])
        $Login_Password = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Login_Form, 1)
        _IEFormElementSetValue($Login_Password, $Account[2])
        _IEFormSubmit($Login_Form, 0) ; Change later!!!
        _IELoadWait($oIE) ; Change later!!!
        $Log_Attempt += 1
        _IENavigate($oIE, $Link[1] & "profile")
        _Login()
    EndIf
EndFunc

I then tried your example

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <String.au3>

Global $oIE, $Link[10], $Account[10], $Log_Attempt = 1, $Max_Attempt = 5

_Singleton(@ScriptName) ; just incase

$Account[0] = "Test" ; Username
$Account[1] = "Test@gmail.com" ; Email
$Account[2] = "123" ; Password

$Link[0] = "https://www.google.com/auth?zone=6" ; Login Link
$Link[1] = "http://www.google.com/index.php?cmd=" ; Main Link

$oIE = _IECreate($Link[1] & "profile", 0, 1, 1, 0)

_Login()

Func _Login()
    $Info = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)

    $User_Name = _StringBetween($Info, 'id="statbar-account">', '</dt>')
    If Not @Error And $User_Name[0] == $Account[0] Then
        ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "+ We are in!" & @CRLF)
    ElseIf $Log_Attempt == $Max_Attempt Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "Exit Script - Failed Attempts")
        _IEQuit($oIE)
        Exit
    Else
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "- Attempting to login" & @CRLF)
    _IENavigate($oIE, $Link[0])
    $oIE = _IEAttach($Link[0], 'url')
    _IELoadWait($oIE)
    $Login_Form = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
    $Login_Address = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Login_Form, 0)
    _IEFormElementSetValue($Login_Address, $Account[1])
    $Login_Password = _IEFormElementGetCollection($Login_Form, 1)
    _IEFormElementSetValue($Login_Password, $Account[2])
    _IEFormSubmit($Login_Form, 0) ; Change later!!!
    _IELoadWait($oIE) ; Change later!!!
    $Log_Attempt += 1
    _IENavigate($oIE, $Link[1] & "profile")
    _Login()
EndIf
EndFunc

both don't work properly...(these are also just examples of my code)

 

If I login manually run the script it says "We are in!" and I can continue...If I logout of the site manually, run the script, it logins properly...but when it loops back to check if we are in, it just sits there idling

 

[edit]

Scite returns no errors in my code.

I get a 404 error (page not found) when running your scripts.

[SkellySoul]

They are just examples...the links arent the real links I use.

[Danp2]

Understood... but if you are going to post code to demonstrate the issue, the code should be functional.
