_IEGetObjById only works when AdBlock is enabled...

[Dgameman1]

$maxDistance = _IEGetObjById($Secure, "maxDistance").innertext
ConsoleWrite($maxDistance)

This is a simple script I have.

When AdBlock Plus is enabled on my IE 11

This is the HTML source

Quote

<li id="maxDistance" abp="8">25</li>

when AdBlock Plus is disabled on my IE 11

This is the HTML source

Quote

<li id="maxDistance">25</li>

There is no abp.

When AdBlock Plus is ENABLED , the script works and I get a message a console saying '25'.

When AdBlock Plus is DISABLED, this is the error I get

Quote

"C:\Users\Dgameman1\Desktop\test.au3" (14) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:
$maxDistance = _IEGetObjById($SecureSite, "maxDistance").innertext
$maxDistance = _IEGetObjById($SecureSite, "maxDistance")^ ERROR

Whether this solves your problems ?

I guess sometimes AdBlock stops AutoIt from attaching. And when I clicked submit inside IE, the form refreshed, and so I had to reattach to the IE browser. And now everything works
