Error: The requested action with this object has failed. Problems with IE.

[jisevereid]

I have two simple script that get the active Internet Explorer window and changes the url. The scripts are identical except for the links that they redirect IE to. The problem that I have is that when I have IE in full-screen mode and alternate webpages with the two scripts more than 3 times I get this error "Error: The requested action with this object has failed". I would like the scripts to continue functioning without errors no matter how many times they are used.

Script # 1

#include <IE.au3>
#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y

Local $title = WinGetTitle ("[CLASS:IEFrame]")
Local $trimTitle = StringTrimRight($title, 20)
Local $oIE = _IEAttach($trimTitle)

_IENavigate($oIE, "https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1itdKt_5_qG_pIxM5N49qNK55rkM&ll=43.84185846009771%2C-91.24873084573369&z=9")
_IELoadWait($oIE)

Exit

Script # 2

#include <IE.au3>
#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y

Local $title = WinGetTitle ("[CLASS:IEFrame]")
Local $trimTitle = StringTrimRight($title, 20)
Local $oIE = _IEAttach($trimTitle)

_IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.explorelacrosse.com/")
_IELoadWait($oIE)

Exit

 

IE_Navigate_Map.au3

IE_Navigate_Web.au3

What line does the error happen on? I just downloaded both and ran them alternating 10 times each, and I never received an error.

Did you make sure that you are using internet explore in full-screen(F11)? I only get the error when it's in fullscreen.

Originally I didn't, but I just did and still I'm not receiving an error. Can you run this in full screen and let me know if you get it?

#include "IE_Navigate_Web.au3"
#include "IE_Navigate_Map.au3"

HotKeySet("{END}", "alternate")

Func alternate()
    For $i = 0 to 6 Step + 1
        Sleep(200)
        IE_Navigate_Web()
        Sleep(300)
        IE_Navigate_Map()
        Sleep(200)
    Next
    Exit
EndFunc

while 1
WEnd

I just modified your script slightly to be put into functions, but I'll reupload them here for you.

IE_Navigate_Map.au3

IE_Navigate_Web.au3

EDIT: Also, what is your AutoIt version and OS?

I'm currently using AutoIt v3.3.14.2 and I'm on Windows 10. Also I ran your script and I was able to alternate the webpages once and then on the second time I got this error $oObject.navigate($sUrl)
$oObject^ ERROR

Woops I didn't copy the whole error code. Here it is . 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3" (272) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$oObject.navigate($sUrl)
$oObject^ ERROR

Try putting   _IEErrorHandlerRegister() near the top of your scripts and see if it helps. It won't remove the error but should at least not make it terminate the program.

I did a fresh install of windows and everything seemed to function perfectly well. The error must have been caused by something on my computer.

The dom object isn't accessible while the window is 'thinking'...such as if the window is in a ghost state.
