Get IE results?


Recommended Posts

I know there are many ways to get the source but I need to know if it is possible to set the results of a site to a variable.

the page I want to use this on is:

http://zerocool60544.t35.com/files/gmailcount.html

There are pop-ups and a logo

I just want the number set to a variable

Thanks A Lot

I am a bit unclear what you are asking. Are you saying you want that number in the top left hand corner of the pop-up?

The number is enclosed in a SPAN element with an ID of 'quota'

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IEAttach("GMAIL COUNTER")
$myNumber = $oIE.document.getElementByID("quota").innerText

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

I get an error variable must be of type object

and am I going to need a _waitload() func

would it be something like this:

#include "IE.au3"
$oIE = _IECreate(0)
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://zerocool60544.t35.com/files/gmailcount.html")
$oIE = _IEAttach("GMAIL COUNTER")
$myNumber = $oIE.document.getElementByID("quota").innerText
MsgBox(0,"",$myNumber)

If you create the IE window (and object), you don't need to use _IEAttach. What you need to do instead is _IELoadWait ($oIE).

#include "IE.au3"
$oIE = _IECreate(0)
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://zerocool60544.t35.com/files/gmailcount.html")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)

Thanks for jumping in. I did my initial example in a hurry and didn't indicate that it presumed the browser window to the site had already been created (it attached based on the window title). Your code using _IECreate is correct, but I have some comments. First, _IENavigate calls _IELoadWait for you so there is no need to call it again (although it hurts nothing). Second, if you use _IECreate(0) it will create an invisible instance of IE -- this is OK, but be certain that you also add an _IEQuit($oIE) when you are done or you will have a Zombie IE process left running on the system.

Of course, I forgot about _IENavigate automatically calling _IELoadWait.

I was just editing the scriptlet he had posted, and so I really wasn't thinking about making everything correct (hence the forgotten _IEQuit($oIE) as well) - I just wanted to point out that _IEAttach wasn't necessary.

First thing to look at -- Strange things can happen if you have a zombie IE process. Exit all IE windows and then kill any IEXPLORE.EXE processes. Then try again -- make sure you heed my _IEQuit warning above.

It's just like you said, I ran it again and it worked, even two instances but after they finish it puts out the error

#include "IE.au3"
$oIE = _IECreate(0)
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://zerocool60544.t35.com/files/gmailcount.html")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)
$myNumber = $oIE.document.getElementByID("quota").innerText
MsgBox(0,"",$myNumber)
_IEQuit($oIE)

I got it, I put this in and it works just fine, It works too fast

#include "IE.au3"
$oIE = _IECreate(0)
Sleep(1000)
_IENavigate($oIE, "http://zerocool60544.t35.com/files/gmailcount.html")
sleep(1000)
_IELoadWait ($oIE)
$myNumber = $oIE.document.getElementByID("quota").innerText
MsgBox(0,"",$myNumber)
_IEQuit($oIE)

Interresting... please check this post and help with testing.

Odd that something that was nearly impossible to reproduce just a short time ago is suddenly cropping up so often...
