IE2 _IEcreate() opens IE and Firefox and loads URL into Firefox?

[ConsultingJoe]

This started happening after installing and uninstalling IE7 beta 2.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to correct it?

I use the _IEcreate() as I normaly would, so the install and uninstall must have messed this up.

Thanks

So this is a late April Fool's joke right? _IECreate does

$o_object = ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Applicaion")
$o_object.navigate("about:blank")
$o_object.navigate("http://your.url.com")

How inthe world could it touch Firefox...?

Can you please post the exact script you are using to produce this behaviour and your version of IE.au3 please?

thanks,

@w0uter - you're nothing if not consistent... that made me laugh

I use this:

$oIE = _IECreate("https://wmg.tmomail.net/customer_site/jsp/messaging_lo.jsp", 0, 0)

the ie is hidden and firefox shows up with the url

here is the IE:

I'm guessing that it has someything to do specifically with that page -- it is a very complex page with lots of Javascript and a bunch of window.open commands.

Have you tried this with another site? Have you tried navigating to that page interactively with IE without AutoIt or IE.au3?

Thanks,

Dale

p.s. In your attachment I see you are running the latest version I have posted (T2.0-3). I'd like to request taht you remove it from that post now... I'd prefer to have only a single controlled source for the script on the forums.

ok, now I just reinstalled ie7 beta 2 and it seems to work ok again. Maybe it was a bad uninstall.

thanks guys

OK, good, I'm stickting to my story that that particular web page was opening another window in the default browser. Nothing else makes sense.

I don't expect problems with IE7, please report any you find.
