Right so IE9 breaks AutoIt scripts... and the Devs are working on it and the Beta may fix things. Mean time the best 'work around' solution offered from my research of the forum is to set IE9 into an older and compatible mode for AutoIt (F12 and then select the option). Problem is I can't seem to find a UDF for setting the Browser Mode to 'IE8' and while I can set the Document Mode to IE8 (via sending Alt+8) this doesn't fix the problem of running AutoIt IE scripts. I've tried the UDF code offered at this posting however both sets of code offered does not seem to work. After spending an afternoon searching Google for solutions (and not finding anything), then experimenting with Exit's and supersonic's code, and my own stuff from scratch I've come back with nothing so this is a general shout out for help. Does anyone have a UDF that specifically forces IE9 into IE8 Browser Mode? Please share if you've got one that is working with IE 9.0.10 running on Win7 64bit. I don't want to have to learn Scrapy or buy Screen Scraper Studio or use Sikuli if I already know AutoIt :-(
