Mouse coordinates offset issue on IE11

[davidho]

I have been using autoit (V3.3.12.0) on IE10 with Win 7 for the past 6 months and it really a great experience.

Recently, I have upgraded my PC to IE11 with windows update on win 7 and existing autoit script  below not able to locate the field or button correctly.

$PosX = _IEPropertyGet($oObject,"screenx")

$PosY = _IEPropertyGet($oObject,"screeny")

MouseClick("left",$PosX +10 ,$PosY + 10)

for example, if I use script above to locate the field username, password and login button,  the mouse position will always offset by 50 point vertically.

I noticed this on twitter.com with IE11 but it work fine with IE10. 

Same observation on other website but it always work fine on IE10. 

Is it a bug or compatibility issue on IE11 ?

thanks

David

[davidho]

Do appreciate if anyone could help ?  any workaround ?

or else I might need to downgrade to IE10 ?

is this related to browser IE issue or autoit ? 

[pcjunki]

try something like this

#include <ie.au3>

$url = ("http://gmail.com")
$oie = _IECreate($url)
Sleep(1000)

$username = _IEGetObjById($oie, "UserNameText")
$pwd = _IEGetObjById($oie, "PasswordText")



_IEPropertySet($username, 'innertext', "davidho ")
_IEPropertySet($pwd, 'innertext', "davidpwd")

Sleep(1000)

Send("{enter}")

The last update for IE11 on Dec 18, broke alot of internal functions all across the coding communities.  The solution has been to uninstall the update until microsoft fixes it.

Let me know if this helps.

[jdelaney]

Why mouse click?  Use _IEAction(,"click") and you won't have to worry about coords.

MikahS,

thanks for the update. Now ,I know I'm not alone

Prodigy, jdelaney,

Great, I can learn new way of implementing my app. 

Thank you very much

since Microsoft will no longer support IE10, I have decided to upgrade my PC with IE11 on Win7.

my autoit script not able to detect some html field (e.g innertext) in IE11 but it is working fine in IE10.

is IE11 compatibility issue (since Dec 2014 as stated in previous comment ) still persist in latest version ?

is there any work around ?  what is the different between  IE10 and IE11 which related to autoit ?

 

 

[davidho]

any comment related to IE11 compatibility issue ?

my existing script which was working fine in IE10 but not able to find some field (e.g innertext) in IE11.

any idea why ?

Try this:

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


_Example()
Func _Example()
    Local $oIE = _IECreate('http://x3demob.cpx3demo.com:2082')
    MsgBox(0, 'Please login', 'username: demo' & @CRLF & 'password: demo')
    Local $oTag_coll = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, 'a')
    If Not @error Then
        Local $iCount = 0
        Local $aTag_Content[@extended + 1]
        Local $sTag_outerHtml
        For $oTag_enum In $oTag_coll
            $iCount += 1
            $sTag_outerHtml = _IEPropertyGet($oTag_enum, 'outerhtml')
            $aTag_Content[$iCount] = $sTag_outerHtml

            ;trying to look for "logout" button
            ;If StringInStr($sTag_outerHtml,'logout') Then
            ;   MsgBox( 1, "found string", $sTag_outerHtml)
            ;   ExitLoop
            ;EndIf

        Next
        $aTag_Content[0] = $iCount
        _ArrayDisplay($aTag_Content, "Tag list")

        ; here is LogOut ;)
        Local $oIE_LogutButton = _IEGetObjById($oIE, 'lnkHeaderLogout')
        _IEAction($oIE_LogutButton, 'click')

    EndIf

EndFunc    ;==>_Example

Since recently I am very interesting in exploring the mysteries of _IELoadWait(), so I went a little further.

So here is another example:

expandcollapse popup

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7

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

_Example()
Func _Example()
    Local $oIE = _IECreate('http://x3demob.cpx3demo.com:2082')
    Local $oIE_UserName = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "user")
    Local $oIE_password = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "pass")
    Local $oIE_login_submit = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "login_submit")
    _IEFormElementSetValue($oIE_UserName, 'demo')
    _IEFormElementSetValue($oIE_password, 'demo')
    _IEAction($oIE_login_submit, 'click')
    _IELoadWait($oIE)

    Local $oIE_LogutButton = _IEGetObjById($oIE, 'lnkHeaderLogout')
    If @error Then
        _IEErrorNotify(False)
        While Sleep(50)
            $oIE_LogutButton = _IEGetObjById($oIE, 'lnkHeaderLogout')
            If Not @error Then ExitLoop
        WEnd
        _IEErrorNotify(True)
    EndIf

    Local $oTag_coll = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, 'a')
    If Not @error Then
        Local $aTag_Content[1]
        For $oTag_enum In $oTag_coll
            ReDim $aTag_Content[UBound($aTag_Content) + 1]
            $aTag_Content[UBound($aTag_Content) - 1] = _IEPropertyGet($oTag_enum, 'outerhtml')
        Next
        $aTag_Content[0] = UBound($aTag_Content)
        _ArrayDisplay($aTag_Content, "Array of Tag Contents")
    EndIf

    _IEAction($oIE_LogutButton, 'click')
    _IELoadWait($oIE)

EndFunc    ;==>_Example

Hi mLipok,

just curious with error below,

IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEGetObjById, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch (lnkHeaderLogout)

could the script able to locate the logout button since it cannot find "InkHeaderLogout" ?

any idea what causing the different behaviour ?  config ?  IE or OS ?

I'm using autoit V3.3.14.2 with IE11 v11.0.96000.18163  on Win7

thanks

David
