Working with frames in IE

[DaleHohm]

I don't have much to go on. I can toss out some ideas, but your challenge is to figure out what is different on your intranet.

You might try using _IEAttach to attach back to the browser with a fresh browser object reference after all of the redirects have completed to see if the situation changes.

I don't think that your statement about security and web zones not a viable issue is necessarily true. You may want to try this with a fresh account with no customizations. If somehow some of the pages are in one zone and some in another it might be an issue.

Browser proxy settings can sometimes cause strange things... I would not expect this, but you may want to turn them off to test.

Try the frameset created by _IE_Example("frameset") and see if you can reproduce the trouble.

Any chance any of the pages set a baseurl property? Not sure what that could do, but it would be worth looking for.

What else can you add to the list?

Looks like you're onto something with the proxy server.

I'm connecting to the intranet through a VPN client and every time I start it up (about once

a week), it sets a proxy server in IE network settings (nobody in IT knows where it's coming from

so they can't tell me how to make it stop doing it), so I usually unset it manually.

Sometimes I forget. IE works the same with and without it.

Removing the proxy server setting has had a positive effect on AutoIt though.

Same with adding the domain to the proxy exclusion list.

I'm starting to see frame properties where I got errors before.

Would be nice to know why AutoIt/IE.au3 is confused by the proxy server when it

comes to framesets given that IE itself has no visible problems at all.

Certainly something that could affect us if we ever deploy an AutoIt script

to a customer to automate some task in the product.
