Object.document.readystate Error While Using Ie.au3

[Ebenezer 0]

Hello,

When I try to navigate to a page using the _IENavigate command I frequently get the following error:

D:\Utilities\AutoIt3\beta\Include\IE.au3 (1236) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.: 
While ($o_object.document.readyState <> "complete") and ($o_object.document.readyState <> 4) 
While ($o_object.document^ ERROR

Now this is most probably due to the page visited. It is known for frequent slowdowns and errors. Simply trying again should do the trick.

Now my question would be: Is there a way to have the program simply repeat the _IENavigate command instead of crashing?

Thanks for your help

add a com error handler and test the error ...

Global $oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrFunc"); Install a custom error handler 
;
;Your code were you can test the @error...
; 
Func MyErrFunc() 
   $HexNumber=hex($oMyError.number,8) 
   ConsoleWrite("COM Error !  LineNumber " & $oMyError.scriptline &  "  errNumber: " & $HexNumber &  "Desc: " & $oMyError.description  & "Windesc: " & $oMyError.windescription ) 
   SetError(1)  ; something to check for when this function returns 
Endfunc

it's actually a COM error you're getting rather than an autoit error. i believe that this is the same issue that dale is actively trying to recreate and stop. if you look at some of his more recent posts, they include some debugging code that you can use to help him identify and eliminate the issue. There is also some code for trapping COM errors that you could use to just reload your script in the case of a COM error, so it will obscure the error from the user...
