Hi,

I built a BOT for a website. It runs fine at first. However, after running for a while, the program raised an error (see below) and didn't run properly.

Could you please explain what this error means? Where should I look for to find a solution to this?

Many thanks!

Yep, you encountered an Unspecified error initiated at line 353 of your script.

Your web browser works asynchonously from your AutoIt script and so many things can happen and so many different paths can be taken that it is impossible for IE.au3 to anticipate or trap them.

The good news is that _IEErrorHandlerRegister() allows COM errors to be trapped instead of abruptly aborting your script. You need to check @error at appropriate places and take corrective action when errors occur.

As you should see, this is a generic error message and you'll need to study your code and code flow to understand what is happening, why and what to do about it.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Thanks for your explanation. I also tracked down earlier that the problem happened at that line.

I sorted out already. Actually, I grabbed an object of a webpage and played with the innerText of that object. At first, it runs fine. However, after running for a while I am not sure while that object doesn't work properly. Finally, I decided to update the object every time I want to play with the innerText. The problem was sorted.

Many thanks.
