Fritterandwaste Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Hi I have been having problems with scripts apparently hanging for long periods when navigating between web pages and was considering adjusting the _IELoadWaitTimeout value. However, the documentation says: "The initial timeout value is 30000 ms (5 minutes)." But surely 30000ms is 30 x 1000ms = ie 30 seconds? Which is it please? Or am I missing something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution water Posted November 27, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 27, 2022 I think you dropped a 0 somewhere According to the help file it is 300000 not just 30000: Quote Period of time to wait before exiting function (default = 300000 ms aka 5 min) This is 5 * 60 * 1000 (minutes * seconds * milliseconds) My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs:Active Directory (NEW 2022-02-19 - Version 1.6.1.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example ScriptsOutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiOutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - DownloadOutlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - WikiPowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - WikiTask Scheduler (NEW 2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs:Excel - Example Scripts - WikiWord - Wiki Tutorials:ADO - WikiWebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritterandwaste Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 ok thank you. The helpfile (.chm) I am looking at still defintely says 30000. I copied and pasted the text. Perhaps it is an old help file but I only downloaded i a couple of months ago. I do now see tha the online info says the same as your quote. Thanks again. Thought I was losing my sanity. Answer: 5 minutes! Larger extract: Quote Parameters $iTimeout [optional] retrieve or specify the number of milliseconds 0 or positive integer sets timeout to this value -1 = (Default) returns the current timeout value (stored in global variable $__IELoadWaitTimeout) Return Value Returns the current timeout value if $iTimeout = -1, else returns 1. Remarks There is no way to completely disable the Timeout value. You can functionally do this however by setting it to a very large positive integer. The initial timeout value is 30000 ms (5 minutes). Related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I checked the online documentation for AutoIt 3.3.16.1 The CHM file of AutoIt 3.3.16.0 shows the correct value as well. Which version of AutoIt do you run?
