IE hidden value- Help please

[Bruce_Gdy 0]

Hi all 

I'm trying to use IE to get some value; however, the site doesn't show the hidden value.

Quote

<input id="CachePath" name="CachePath" type="hidden" value="">

I tried FF and chrome and the value is there

Quote

<input id="CachePath" name="CachePath" type="hidden" value="977">

 

How can I fix IE to show the value as FF and chrome? Is there some setting I have to change in IE?

Here's an example of my code

Local $oIE = _IECreate("WEBsite")
Local $sHTML = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "CachePath")
if @error Then MsgBox(0,"Error found 1", @error)
$value = _IEFormElementGetValue($sHTML)
ConsoleWrite($value )

Thanks

If the value isn't there in IE, then that's likely an server-side issue so I doubt there's anything you can do to solve this on your own.

What's the website?

The value is shown in FF and Chrome, and according to my research; IE is removing the cached value once the page loaded.  Is there some setting in IE to keep the hidden value just like FF and Chrome! 

It is my company website. I'm using my credential to access it. 

this is IE

You cannot ask IE to provide something that it doesn't want to provide.  If you have more success with Chrome, use WebDriver UDF.

Unless you give us access to your site, I am afraid we cannot help much more.

I figure it our. I have to click on the Print button to generate the cache reference.  Now I have another problem!  I can't download/save as PDF.  not sure from where to start! Is Autoit support such a feature?  

 

Thanks for your help.
