Problem with IE.au3.

[Federalist]

_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Enter Combat Arena")

Dale

Hm.

My code is exactly the same except for _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Enter Combat Arena",0,0)

Were the zeroes causing the issue?

I'll test it when I get home.

Nope, that didn't work.

Any other suggestions?

It still just hangs after entering, even with

_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Enter Combat Arena")

I don't recall you saying anything about a hang, but this has plodded along for a while.

Use the SciTe debug mode (see my sig) to see what it is doing and post the SciTe output.

Edit.

It just stops there, and never progresses.

_IELoadWait isn't the problem - it does the same thing with or without it.

For those who don't feel like looking back a page, the next line should be "_IELinkClickByText($oIE,"Enter Combat Arena",0,0)" after that, I think..

Actually, on Drew's advice I changed it to "_IELinkClickByText($oIE,"Enter Combat Arena")"

I see no reason for the script just to ... stop moving. I mean, it doesn't even generate any errors, it just stops.

[DaleHohm]

I see no reason for it to hang there (without the _IELoadWait) upless there is a popup appearing or the showArena(); Javascript function is executing and not returning control to the sctipt.

No popups appear - what could cause the showArena to not execute?

Not executing wouldn't be the problem - executing and not exiting could. DebugBar will show you the source of the script.

EDIT

If I select the javascript command and click "Run Javascript" , it does bring me to the correct page.

Then you can try

$oIE.document.parentwindow.eval('showArena();return false;')

I admire you tenacity, but I've got to tell you -- I just don't get excited about automating games - especially when they have safeguards that are trying to foil your attempts to do so. If anyone else wants to jump in to assist here, please do.

So... like this?

_IELinkClickByText($oIE.document.parentwindow.eval('showArena();return false;'), "Enter Combat Arena")

Hm, that can't be it..

I get an error wwhen running it...

Error: Error parsing function call.

(For that line.)

[DaleHohm]

no, just

$oIE.document.parentwindow.eval('showArena();return false;')

all by itself.

$oIE.document.parentwindow.eval('showArena();return false;')

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

Hmm. :/

I put it right before the line where it was failing.

[Federalist]

When running it in scITE

0030: 0-0:  $oIE.document.parentwindow.Eval("showArena();return false;")
C:\Documents and Settings\Avery\My Documents\test_DebugIt.au3 (97) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.: 
$oIE.document.parentwindow.Eval('showArena();return false;') 
$oIE.document.parentwindow.Eval('showArena();return false;')^ ERROR

[DaleHohm]

Try removing the

return false;

[Federalist]

Try removing the

return false;

Same error.

[Federalist]

Same error.

Anyone else have any ideas? :/

Hey Federalist... your just trying to click on a character, then click on "Enter Combat Arena" correct? This script works for me...

#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y
#include <IE.au3>

Sleep(2000)
$charactername = "Someone27"
$oIE = _IEAttach("d2jsp")
;While 1
    _IELinkClickByText($oIE,$charactername,0,0)
    _IELoadWait($oIE, 100, 2000)
    _IELinkClickByText($oIE,"Enter Combat Arena",0,0)
;WEnd

Note that the 2 second sleep was just so I could 'see' the page being clicked... also I get a timeout from _IELoadWait, but it does work.... or am I missing something your trying to achieve?

EDIT

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. Let's see if it works..

That worked! I love you.

However, it won't go and fight another monster..

edit.

Oh, and the random sleeps are to make it take on a semi-'human' appearance. (Rather than that of automation.)
