InternetExplorer.Application help

[olisemalis]

Hi,

I have an HTML page with code to automate InternetExplorer.Application. In the code I create the object and navigate to a file/page. This page (which I do not control) will then navigate to another url. When this happen I want to close the window browser I just created.

//Defined Globally
var oIE = new ActiveXObject("InternetExplorer.Application");

//Defined inside a function

oIE.Visible = false;
oIE.Width = 0;
oIE.Height = 0;
oIE.Resizable = true;
oIE.Navigate('url');


while (oIE.LocationUrl != "

http://www.google.pt/")

{
// I need to wait ..... until the url I just opened is changed
}

oIE.Quit()



Problem: The opened page doen´t work well. It only works if the user clicks on the page. I think the first page stay in a loop maybe due to the while cycle...

Is there any way to control this? Is it possible to use Internet.Application events?

Thank you

Investigate the onunload event - it sounds like what you're after rather than a tight while loop.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

But is it possible to use that event in javascript, despite creating the object with the new ActiveXObject construct?

I ask this because I´m not able to trap events.

thank you

I'm assuming so - why not try it and find out?
