J_Y_C 0 Posted July 26, 2006 I am working on a script that goes to google video, logs in, and then clicks some links from there. But, on the first form I deal with, after I submit the form with _IEformsubmit, the script stops running, and seems to lock up the engine. That is to say, even after the page is 100% done loading after submitting the login form, it never advances to the next step. In fact, as I have it now, the autoit engine just sits in the tray. Here's what I have so far: #include <IE.au3> $o_IE = _IECreate() _IENavigate($o_IE, "https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?skipvpage=true&sendvemail=false&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2F&hl=en") ; get pointers to the login form and username and password fields $o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($o_IE, "gaia_loginform") $o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "Email") $o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "Passwd") ; Set field values and submit the form _IEFormElementSetValue($o_login, "xxxx@xxxxx.com") _IEFormElementSetValue($o_password, "xxxxxxx") Sleep(2000) _IEFormSubmit($o_form,1) Exit So, it never exits. After submitting the form, it just freezes operation. No matter what commands I put after the IEFormSubmiit, it never does them. Any help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaleHohm 65 Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Thanks for reporting this. For now you'll need to change your submit command to this: _IEFormSubmit($o_form, 0) Behind the scenes, this COM error is being generated: --> COM Error Encountered in tmp-asdfiiwl.au3 ----> $IEComErrorScriptline = 618 ----> $IEComErrorNumberHex = 80020009 ----> $IEComErrorNumber = -2147352567 ----> $IEComErrorWinDescription = Access is denied. ----> $IEComErrorDescription = Access is denied. ----> $IEComErrorSource = ----> $IEComErrorHelpFile = C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshtml.hlp ----> $IEComErrorHelpContext = 0 ----> $IEComErrorLastDllError = 0 This is similar to a cross-site scripting security error and unfortunately is on Google sites using Ajax. The difference with this one of that the $IEComErrorNumber I have seen associated with "Access Is Denied" in the past was 169, not this one. I'll change the code to trap for this as well, but your result will be the same -- IE.au3 will not be able to wait for the load to complete and you'll have to do your own check to insure it is done.

J_Y_C 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Awesome, thank you sir. Like I could ever get service like that at M$! So, would _IELoadWait work to wait for the page to load? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaleHohm 65 Posted July 26, 2006 So, would _IELoadWait work to wait for the page to load?The trouble is that it cannot do it starting with the form object... this in fact will work: _IEFormSubmit($o_form,0) _IELoadWait($o_IE) Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curlMSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object modelAutomate input type=file (Related)Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better?IE.au3 issues with Vista - WorkaroundsSciTe Debug mode - it's magic: #AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon.
