Pause AUTOIT Script till web page is completely loaded

[Prateek]

Hi,

I have a simple issue, may it seems simple, I am trying to automate a thing in web browser now my problem statement is as follows -

I want to pause my script until the web page gets loaded completely. I tried WinWaitActive but it works if a new window is getting loaded with a different title while in my case the title of the web page remains the same. So WinWaitActive doesn't work here.

Thanks.

@Prateek it depends on how you are automating your "thing", you aren't providing enough information. Are you using the IE UDF? The Chrome UDF? Something else? How about posting your code, along with detailed info on the "thing" you're trying to automate, rather than having us guess

Hi,

Code is just few lines. The URL is remote so won't work on your system. But this URL takes 20 seconds to open. After the URL is open i am just maximizing the screen. Not much.

The win wait is not working because the URL is already open so it doesn't wait for the window to be active because it is already active. I just click button and some chart appears on the page so title remains same as the same page reloads.

WinWaitActive("https://wiks.corp.idea.com/wiks/servlet/ComputeServlet?action= - \\Remote")

Send("{ALTDOWN}")
Send("{SPACE}")
Sleep(1000)
Send("{ALTUP}")
Sleep(1000)
Send("x")

 

Thanks

I would suggest looking at the IE sections in the file. Send is inherently unstable, and will not always produce the results you are expecting. If you open the page with _IECreate, for example, you have the option to wait until the page is fully loaded before doing anything else.

Hi,

The remote URL is on citrix platform, So _IE functions are not running. I had tried those initially.

Information which would have been useful in your first post, rather than leaving us to guess. 

Have you done a forum search on Citrix? I know for a fact you'll find several hundred threads concerning how to automate it.

I searched the forum and found nothing over citrix.....My only query is how to pause my script while the browser gets loaded completely....can anyone assist? Urgently needed

How do YOU know when browser gets completely loaded ?

Edit : funny you say it is urgent, but you don't even take a moment to answer a simple question, fine have fun finding help.   Btw I know you have read this...

I find searching using Google (which I don't otherwise use), sometimes finds stuff that the AutoIt website search doesn't (but maybe it's just me).

 

Here is my script:

Opt('TrayIconDebug',True)
Local $ans = InputBox("Search AutoIt docs","Search for")
if @error then Exit
Local $firefoxpath = 'Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'
Local $drvsVec = DriveGetDrive('FIXED')
For $i = 1 to UBound($drvsVec)-1
    $firefoxFilspc = $drvsVec[$i]&'\'&$firefoxpath
    If FileExists($firefoxFilspc) Then ExitLoop
Next
Run('"'&$firefoxFilspc&'" -new-window https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl' )
WinWait('Google')
Sleep(3000)
Local $t = 'site:https://www.autoitscript.com '&$ans
Send($t,1)
Send('{Enter}',0)

It can be simpler -- and smarter.
