_IELoadWaitTimeout - default 5 minutes or 30 seconds?

Hi

I have been having problems with scripts apparently hanging for long periods when navigating between web pages and was considering adjusting the _IELoadWaitTimeout value. However, the documentation says:

"The initial timeout value is 30000 ms (5 minutes)."

 

But surely 30000ms is 30 x 1000ms = ie 30 seconds? Which is it please? Or am I missing something?

Thanks

I think you dropped a 0 somewhere ;)
According to the help file it is 300000 not just 30000:

Quote

Period of time to wait before exiting function (default = 300000 ms aka 5 min)

This is 5 * 60 * 1000 (minutes * seconds * milliseconds)

ok thank you. The helpfile (.chm) I am looking at still defintely says 30000. I copied and pasted the text. Perhaps it is an old help file but I only downloaded i a couple of months ago. I do now see tha the online info says the same as your quote. Thanks again. Thought I was losing my sanity. Answer: 5  minutes!

Larger extract:

Quote

Parameters

$iTimeout [optional] retrieve or specify the number of milliseconds
    0 or positive integer sets timeout to this value
    -1 = (Default) returns the current timeout value (stored in global variable $__IELoadWaitTimeout)

Return Value

Returns the current timeout value if $iTimeout = -1, else returns 1.

Remarks

There is no way to completely disable the Timeout value.
You can functionally do this however by setting it to a very large positive integer.
The initial timeout value is 30000 ms (5 minutes).

I checked the online documentation for AutoIt 3.3.16.1
The CHM file of AutoIt 3.3.16.0 shows the correct value as well.
Which version of AutoIt do you run?
