Refresh page in IEAuto.dll

Post by fingomajom » Fri Apr 11, 2008 9:26 am

I created an IE instance with hidden attribute, then extracted a TD tag from this, and I'd like to repeat this after refresh the page in background. Can I do this with IEAuto.dll (similar to GoBack or GoForward)? Or I have to change to visible the IE instance and send F5 keystroke?

Sorry, I am stupid. IE_Navigate on the same URL will refresh the page.

Also you might want to be sure Internet Explorer is not set to "Automatically" check for new versions of a web page. I've experienced a problem with certain web pages (especially when authenticated) where Internet Explorer will just display the page from cache rather than requesting the updated page from the web server unless you actually tell Internet Explorer to do it on "Every visit to the page".

Just go to Tools...Internet Options, then select "Settings" under where it says "Temporary Internet Files". Then at the top, under "Check for newer versions of stored pages" make sure you select "Every visit to the page" and NOT the "Automatically" setting.

Has anyone else bumped into this, or is it only me? :)

The latest version of WebRecorder/IEAuto.dll has a Refresh function.
