Super Simple _IE navigate problem I have been trying to fix for HOURS

[Bensdb]

Hi - 

I am simply trying to loop through pages of a website using _IENavigate..

For some reason it freezes on page 2, rather than continuing through the loop.

I have been trying to fix this for hours and I am really at the end of my tether with it...

Any experienced Autoit'ers fancy having a bash for me? 

I've tried sleep, messing with the IE.au3 file, rewriting the whole script to try to target the link after the active link in the nav menu....EVERYTHING.

Just a beginner who is thoroughly stuck after hours of trying.

 

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>



Global $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.jobhero.ph/resume-search/all/1")

For $i = 2 To 5
    ; THIS IS WHERE AUTOIT LOSES THE CONNECTION TO BROWSER AFTER ~2-3 URLS
    sleep(4000) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< added this to give time between navigations
    _IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.jobhero.ph/resume-search/all/" & $i)
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "There was a problem opening webpage!")
    EndIf
Next

Put one IELoadWait after the navigate. If this doesnt help , put IEAttach after that.

Your code ran fine for me. Are you using the latest version of AutoIt?

[Bensdb]

I have just tried all of the above suggestions to no avail....tried reinstalling newest version of Autoit, tried _IELoadWait after navigate, tried attach before and after navigate....

The problem is the it gets STUCK when on the first navigate in the loop, and NO CODE after that runs....

It's like it is getting stuck, and never finishes loading or something....I've tried having a msgbox after navigate in the loop and it never shows, so it's clear it is just stopping on the page load, and never finishing the navigate action.

Is there a way to navigate to a url other than "navigate"?

[Bensdb]

Interestingly, when I use " Send ( "!d" & $newurl & "{ENTER}" )" to input the url into the address bar programatically, if I put a IELoadWait after it, it will also pause on first page load...if I don't then it runs fine...

So it's something to do with _IENavigates inbuilt pageload thing getting stuck...even when I choose to switch it off in _IENvigate parameters....

Change your _IENavigate line to include the $iWait parameter. Passing a zero here will return without waiting.

For me too...
What if you try with tabs ?

#include <IE.au3>

Global Const $navOpenInNewTab = 0x0800
$url = "http://www.jobhero.ph/resume-search/all/"
$oIE = _IECreate($url & "1")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
Sleep(2000)
_Next(5)

Func _Next($a)
   For $i = 2 to $a
       $oIE.Navigate2($url & $i, $navOpenInNewTab, "_top")
      _IELoadWait($oIE)
      Sleep(2000)
  Next
EndFunc

tried passing 0 to IEnavigate wait flag and still nothing...Tabs works....

Please understand that insofar as we can't reproduce your issue it's quite difficult to help you
Did you mean that my previous script runs correctly for you, displaying the wanted pages and so on ?
If so what about this :

#include <IE.au3>

$url = "http://www.jobhero.ph/resume-search/all/"
$oIE = _IECreate($url & "1")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
Sleep(2000)
_Next(5)

Func _Next($a)
   For $i = 2 to 5;$a
       $oIE.Navigate2($url & $i)
      _IELoadWait($oIE)
      Sleep(2000)
  Next
EndFunc

What OS? What version of IE?

[corgano]

What comes to mind immediately is that IE is still loading... and loading, and loading, and loading. However since it works for other people here (me included!) with no issue, it's probably something to do with your IE. Try these steps:

• If you have any extensions / plugins for IE, disable them!
• Update IE and get it to as stock settings as you can
• If any part of your script runs javascript commands on the IE object, disable them (If you don't understand this one then skip it)

Another suggestion is if you have another computer you have access to, try running it on there. IF it works on the second computer and still not your main, there could be some kind of setting in IE or some plugin messing it up. Try to make your computer more like the second computer's IE until both work.
