Why isn't Autoit able to click a Javascript Dialog?

I just find it weird how the Autoit script freezes whenever a Javascript dialog appears. No other programming language I know has this issue.

I've tried all these and I still can't get it to work.

This is what the AutoIt Window says

$TrashCan is the button that is found on the IE page that triggers a javascript alert

  

_IEAction($TrashCan, "click")
ConsoleWrite("DONE")

 

Is my code, ConsoleWrite never happens until I manually click the close button

 

I've also tried this, as shown in the help docs and this time, the button isn't even pressed


 

Quote

$hwnd = _IEPropertyGet($OKCSite, "hwnd")

_ieAction($TrashCan, "focus")
ControlSend($hwnd, "", "", "{Enter}")

So I guess it's just impossible to actually have Autoit click a dialog box from Javascript, weird.

I don't understand why you're being so difficult. I'm not great at programming, but I know that c# and c++ don't just stop working when they're coded to click a button on a website and a javascript al

Ok, here is your answer, some dialogs block your script. They'll probably block any script in any language doing the same thing.

Can you show us the code in all the other languages that worked, it will help with a solution.

This question has been asked and answered countless times...forum search: deadlock

Right, I have. I'm not able to find anything that would help me, and I feel like I've tried many of those suggestions already.

You need a seond script or AdLibRegister.

I'm currently running the second script to do this, but is there no way of including this inside the same script without having AdlibRegister just randomly run it every X amount of seconds?

I also tried AdLibRegister, and it didn't work, but a second script does.

Also, when I run IE in hidden mode, the Javascript Dialog shows. Is there a way to stop that?

This is exactly What AdlibRegister doing.

I also tried AdLibRegister, and it didn't work, but a second script does.

Add one MsgBox to AdLibRegistered function.
If it PopUp this MsgBox ?

I know AdlibRegistered is working because I put a MSGBOX in there and it appeared every 1 second.

I was running two scripts and it worked, the second script is to just click the ok button on the dialog. Here is the code 

If WinExists("Message from webpage") Then
        $WinText = WinGetText("Message from webpage")
        If StringInStr($WinText, "Are you sure you want to delete them?") Then
            ControlClick("Message from webpage", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]")
        EndIf
    EndIf

I went ahead and put it inside a function and called it with adlibregister and it doesn't work anymore

  1. AdlibRegister
  2. Example 2 under _IEAction in the Help file
  3. Second script
  4. Use Winactivate on IE and then the Dialog box.

The only thing that has worked is using a second script, which I don't want to do.

Show the code, for just one, that doesn't .

Should not be hard, since...

I don't understand why you're being so difficult. I'm not great at programming, but I know that c# and c++ don't just stop working when they're coded to click a button on a website and a javascript alert dialog opens up.

What I'm saying isn't very hard to understand.

And no where did I say I tried them all, you even quoted me and still failed to understand what I said, which was No other programming language I know has this issue. No where does that mean I know and have tried every single programming language.

So instead of arguing with me publicly, feel free to PM me or stop distracting from this thread.

I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm trying to establish some things, to help you (and me) learn something to get further.

So please just humour me, and demonstrate just exactly how you determined that no other language has this issue, if you atre just guessing and making it up, that's fine too, but a simple answer will go a long way to helping your cause.
