_IEFormImageClick problems when link click opens pop up

[dewclaws]

First off, let me describe the page I am seeing this problem with:

This is a form page generated by javascript. as usual its full of strange things, none of them have been a problem until this issue.

The only form on the page I am attempting to automate at uses an image labeled 'apply' with the name tag of 'action_apply'. You need to click this to 'apply' changes made to the page. After clicking it. A single pop up window appears. This pop up window is visible to the 'AutoIt Window Info' tool. It has only two options, [OK], and [CANCEL].

the image I am clicking on has the following html code.

<input type="image" align="middle" id="apply_btn" value="Apply" name="action_apply" src="Applications/ASTER/Graphics/img/button_apply.en.gif"/>

Now for my problem, when I use _IEFormImageClick() to click on this image, it seems to trigger it, calling up up the pop-up window. But freezes and never continues. And will only continue on if I manually click on the people up window and choose [OK] or [CANCEL].

Short example, the execution will pause at the _IEFormImageClick(...). Only if I close the pop up window by hand will it contine on to the consolewrite line.

# click submit image
_IEFormImageClick($oIE, "action_apply", "name", 0, 0) 
  
 consolewrite("---> Image clicked..") 

 ... DO MORE STUFF ...

I have attached a small image of the pop up window.

any suggestions on how to get around this would be helpful.
