Certain sites cause error in IE.au3

[VeeDub]

Hi,

Occassionally when working with a site via IE.au3, the following error occurs:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\Include\IE.au3 (2162) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".: 
Return $o_object.document.body.innerHTML 
Return $o_object.document.body^ ERROR

The issue is with the site rather than the UDF, but is there a way that I can trap this error so that my script continues rather than bombing out?

thanks

VW

Just a guess, but would this work?

If IsObj($o_object.document.body.innerHTML) then
   Return $o_object.document.body.innerHTML
Else
   SetError(1)
   Return 0
EndIf

Let me know if this helps.

Hi,

I'm not sure how I use your code, as that error message is being returned by the IE udf.

I think the answer is to use _IEErrorHandlerRegister, so that the udf returns to a function that I can configure, but I need to experiment with this to see if I am on the right track or not.

Thanks

I was right about this, very useful function, in fact the whole udf is excellent.

I will second that! There is no telling how many hours Dale has spent on it.

Yeah, and I don't think I want to know that answer to that question, even if I could figure it out...

I would like to know about the characteristic of a site where you can get this error (it is in _IEBodyReadHTML). I double-checked the code and I'm having a hard time figuring out when you could get that error... unless you are passing in another type of object altogether like a Word object, or perhaps the url is ftp: type or something?

I'd like to trap for this, so if you can provide more detail I would appreciate it.

OK, I will add some logging and I'll get back to you in the next day or so with a couple of sites and which function I am using when the error occurs.

Dale,

Where could I find a full list of the variables that I could log via the ErrorHandler?

I would like to log the URL and if possible the function I was calling.

Thanks
