_IENavigate return values

[BrewManNH]

It appears from looking at the _IENavigate function that the return values from it don't match with the description in the help file. The function is supposed to return a value of -1 if it was successful, and 0 if there was a problem.

This section returns -1 with @error set if any errors are encountered in the _IELoadWait function and are passed from _IENavigate as a success, but with the @error value set to the error.

If $f_wait Then
	_IELoadWait($o_object)
	Return SetError(@error, 0, -1)
EndIf

Upon further investigation of the _IE* functions I've found this bug to be present in the following _IE functions as well.

• _IELinkClickByText
• _IELinkClickByIndex
• _IEImgClick
• _IEFormImageClick
• _IEFormSubmit
• _IEBodyWriteHTML
• _IEDocWriteHTML

All of these functions are supposed to return -1 on a success, yet all return -1 even if there's an error in the _IELoadWait call.

BTW, this bug continues in the 3.3.9.4 beta version of the _IE functions also.

this still seems to be a problem in more current versions for some of the functions.
