Stuck using _IELinkClickByIndex

[talkfoodtalk]

Hi,

I am having trouble using _IELinkClickByIndex.

In my code below, near the end, when I use _IELinkClickByIndex it clicks the link I need which creates a pop-up however the script just hangs, it seems to just get stuck or be looping when I use it.

Can anyone see whats wrong with my code?

Func Navigate()

_IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
Local $iNumLinks = @extended

   For $oLink In $oLinks


      If StringInStr($oLink.href, "loadFaultTracker.do") Then

         _IEAction($oLink, "click")
         ExitLoop
      EndIf
   Next





_IELoadWait($oIE)

Local $sMyString = "Launch application"
Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
   For $oLink In $oLinks
      Local $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
      If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then

         _IEAction($oLink, "click")
         ExitLoop
         EndIf
   Next

      _IELoadWait($oIE)
      Sleep(2000)

There are ways around that.  The .click, is not going to return until the new window is closed (script will wait)...you can create a second script to click, or focus on the element, and controlsend {enter}.

Hi jdelaney,

Thanks for the reply.

The script still hangs when all windows are closed...even if it didn't surley there must still be a more effective or clean way to continue interacting with the new window within the same script?
