Valuater Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I am using IE to automate a web page. When the page is scanning, the button I am after does not show (visible) until the scan is complete. However, it is found in the source. If IsObj($button4) Then MsgBox(0,0, "is an object button 4 ") ; **** this works MsgBox(0,0, _IEPropertyGet ($button4, "readystate")) EndIf error... IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IEPropertyGet, $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType is there another way to wait until the button is "visible" or not "disabled" Thanks Valuater 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleHohm Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Visibility is not tied to readyState. visible or disabled is an element attribute. If you show the button HTML before and after I could give you precise way to test. Without that, I can suggest that you use StringInStr on the result of _IEPropertyGet($button4, "outerhtml") Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better? IE.au3 issues with Vista - Workarounds SciTe Debug mode - it's magic: #AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y 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?

Valuater Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Thanks guys!!If you show the button HTML before and after I could give you precise way to test. If I knew the HTML after I would know enough to do what I need. I am actually not going to push the button, it's just a way to tell that the page is finished.I will test with your suggestion daleThanksValuater8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
