JM 13Feb2012 - I can fill a search box in a demo page,but I dont think having a fixed wait is how it should work, could you please advise
console show puts start... package require tcom set ie [tcom::ref createobject InternetExplorer.Application] $ie Visible True #$ie Navigate "https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/_/search" $ie Navigate "http://www.sphider.eu/forum/read.php?2,6529,6529" while {[$ie Busy]} { puts [clock format [clock seconds]] update } after 10000 set docObj [$ie Document] set objCollection [$docObj getElementById "search"] $objCollection innerText "Jorge"
JM 13Feb2012 - Answering to myself...this how it works:
console show update #puts start... package require tcom set ie [tcom::ref createobject InternetExplorer.Application] $ie Visible True #$ie Navigate "https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/_/search" $ie Navigate "http://www.sphider.eu/forum/read.php?2,6529,6529" while {[$ie Busy]} { puts -nonewline . update after 100 } #after 10000 puts [[$ie Document] readyState] while {[[$ie Document] readyState] != "complete"} { puts [clock format [clock seconds]] update after 1000 } set docObj [$ie Document] set objCollection [$docObj getElementById "search"] $objCollection innerText "Jorge"
And this is what the console shows when the page loading is kind of slow:
