_IEQuit($oIE) does not close the browser

[FranciscoG]

Hi, I am new in the AutoIT world.

I open an IE browser, I enter the credentials using the script and then send the Enter key (after that the site navigates to another page)

When I finish I want to close the browser using _IEQuit($oIE) but it does not work.

What I found is that it works if I call _IEQuit before sending the Enter key 

Here is my code.

What I am doing wrong?

 

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>


main()

func main()
Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://misite.com/Login/Login.aspx")
Local $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "Form1")
Local $oUsuario = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "txtuser")
Local $oClave = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "txtPassword")

_IEFormElementSetValue($oUsuario, "userXYZ")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oClave, "thePassword")

Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(1000)
#cs
here I do some other stuff.
#ce
_IEQuit($oIE)
EndFunc

Why aren't you using _IEFormSubmit instead of Send?

Because the site I am automating is very old, in fact, I have to run it with IE5 compatibility. If I use _IEFormSubmit the submit does not work, It does like a refresh page and the password is cleared.

After the ENTER key is sent, try reattaching to site with _IEAttach or navigating to the new url with _IENavigate...

No way to know for sure with the limited information provided. You haven't mentioned any errors appearing in the Scite output panel. Any errors showing up?

Have you tried reattaching with _IEAttach (as indicated above by @Nine)?

Sorry I am new in AutoIT. 

I tried the following:

$oIE = _IEAttach("http://theNewPageRedirected.com/Login/Frames.aspx","url")

I am not sure if the use of _IEAttach is fine here, but it does not work.

It's difficult to provide meaningful feedback to "does not work". What doesn't work (the _IEAttach or the _IEQuit)?

Please answer this.

Does this "other stuff" involve IE automation? If so, I'm assuming that your efforts to use $oIE at this stage are successful. Is that correct?

When you say "it does not work", you must give us something to understand.  The first thing you must do is provide the snippet of your trial, and a copy of the scite console. A screen capture of the DOM would be appreciated.  Help us to help you...

Edit : Danp2 beat me on it lol
