Problems with _IEPropertyGet()

[LuI]

Hi,

I am trying to automate login at a local website and to navigate a javascript-driven menu in order to get some detailled overview of a system state. My script does work on _my_ machine, but fails on most of the operator ones.

I can successfully login, but finally had to record mouseclicks onto given coordinates to operate that javascript-menu. Ant that seems to be the problem - the coordinates differ depending on the actual configuration of the IE. I tried to get the upper left corners coords using _IEPropertyGet(), but always get $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType.

I managed to modify some values for seterror in $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType in IE.au3 and found that this error is set at

If __IEIsObjType($o_object, "window") Or __IEIsObjType($o_object, "document") Then

because $o_object is a "document".

The function Reference _IEPropertyGet says it 'Returns a select property of the Browser or DOM element.'. I imagined the document being such a DOM element!??

I also tried some child elements like frameset, frames and so on and always get the very same error $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType. Here's part of my code:

$o_IE = _IECreate ()

_IENavigate ($o_IE, "http://getemed1:8080/visualtime/index.jsp")

_IELoadWait($o_IE)

; get the frame_object, form and controls

$o_Doc =_IEDocGetObj($o_IE)

$o_Mainframe =_IEFrameGetObjByName($o_IE, "mainframe")

;MsgBox(0, "Document_obj:", ObjName($o_Doc)) ; work as expected

;MsgBox(0, "Document Created Date", $o_Doc.fileCreatedDate) ; dito

$IE_DocTop = _IEPropertyGet($o_Doc, "screeny")

Can someone help me out?

If Dale Home could explain why this If __IEIsObjType($o_object, "window") Or __IEIsObjType($o_object, "document") Then... test is done?

Windows, Frames, Documents... none of them have a screeny property. See the object documentation on MSDN. Suggest you get a reference to the document "BODY" element which will have it (it is a DOM element... contained in a document).

If you can dig into the document structure (with DebugBar for example), you would likely be able to do this without using screen coordinates.
