IE.au3

[NELyon]

I'm creating a music searching program, and i found a way to search google doing a music search, leaving out most webpages. Just typing this url in my browser will bring up a box saying "ENTER SONG NAME OR ARTIST", but if i try _IENavigate or $oIE.navigate they bring up a "Page cannot be displayed".

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()
; == GUI generated with Koda ==
$Form1 = GUICreate("AForm1", 763, 542, 192, 125)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 0, 0, 761, 497)
GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, "AEdit1")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Music Search", 288, 504, 201, 33)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case $msg = $Button1
        $oIE.navigate (INIRead("Url.ini", "url", "url", ""))
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

The INI:

[url]
url=java script:Qr='';if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('ENTER ARTIST OR SONG NAME:',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www2.google.com/ie?query=%22parent+directory%22+%22'+escape(Qr)+'%22+mp3+OR+wma+OR+ogg+-html+-htm+-php+-asp+-jsp&num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=active&sa=N'

I'm guessing trouble with quotes... what is the exact string returned by the IniRead?

Well, it does the same thing if i do it without the INI. If i just put the Url on one line, it gives no errors, but just directs me to "Page cannot be displayed"

You can call javascript functions with $oIE.eval(), but it's hard, and you don't have to here. Plus, I think you had some javascript errors anyway. Try this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <IE.au3>
#include <INet.au3> ; required for _INetExplorerCapable(), which replaces your javascript escape
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()
; == GUI generated with Koda ==
$Form1 = GUICreate("AForm1", 763, 542, 192, 125)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 0, 0, 761, 497)

_IENavigate ( $oIE,"about:blank")
GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, "AEdit1")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Music Search", 288, 504, 201, 33)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case $msg = $Button1

        ; this replaces your javascript call

        $qr = InputBox ( "Music Search", "ENTER ARTIST OR SONG NAME:")
        if $qr <> "" Then
            $url = "http://www2.google.com/ie?query=%22parent+directory%22+%22"
            $url &= _INetExplorerCapable ( $qr )
            $url &= "%22+mp3+OR+wma+OR+ogg+-html+-htm+-php+-asp+-jsp&num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=active&sa=N"
            _IENavigate ( $oIE,$url)
        EndIf
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

But the javascript worked fine in IE.

Well, if you really want to go that route, you can just Navigate to your functional html page that you already created.

In fact, why are you using AutoIt at all? This all could be accomplished via simpler methods- are you hoping to hook in automatic downloading capabilites or something?

[NELyon]

I don't have a functional HTML webpage. I simply paste the javascript into my address bar and it works. I am just trying to create a program that will let me download music easier without using a third-party p2p.

I see, well then, here is a functional HTML web page:

<script>
function searchy(){
var Qr=prompt('ENTER ARTIST OR SONG NAME:','');
if(Qr){
    location.href='http://www2.google.com/ie?query=%22parent+directory%22+%22'+escape(Qr)+'%22+mp3+OR+wma+OR+ogg+-html+-htm+-php+-asp+-jsp&num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=active&sa=N'
}
}
</script>
<input value=Search type=button onclick=searchy()>
