Website still loading html while not loading

[dar100111]

Hey All,

Have a website that when I navigate to a page, the information isn't complete and has a little loading animation on the website so I need to figure out a better solution than _ieloadwait.

Anyone ever try doing something like telling the script to wait until a form, element or table is available before continuing their script.  Was curious how someone utilizes that or if a different method was easier.

Thank you very much!

Use error handler.

Try to get last loaded object until it has value you expect.

Hey John!  thanks for the quick response.  So If I'm looking for a certain form and I set it to a variable like $oForm, how to you incorporate the code?

@error ?

Thank you very much for the help!

[JohnOne]

Show minimal code you have already to get the form object.

And we'll go from there.

probably you have to find an individual solution, since some websites are built in this way to prevent automation.

Hey Edano,

 So instead of a sleep function I want to have it wait until it can find the $oForm listed below, if that's possible.

$_IEAction($railtrace, "click")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
Sleep(5000)
$oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, 'module')
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oFrame, 'ClEquipmentTraceProfileForm')
$entry = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 'equipment')
$method = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 'delivery')
$output = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, 'outputType')
_IEFormElementSetValue($entry, "HJCU137135")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($output, "csv", 1, "byValue")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($method, "D", 1, "byValue")
_IEAction($entry, "focus")
_IELoadWait($oIE)

[JohnOne]

_IEErrorHandlerRegister("MyErrFunc")

Do
   Sleep(100)
   $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oFrame, 'ClEquipmentTraceProfileForm')
Until IsObJ($oForm)



Func MyErrFunc()
    Return
EndFunc   ;==>MyErrFunc
