IEExtractTagByName to nonexistent IE reference problem

[djs]

Version 14.0.3

Easy line:

Code: Select all

IEExtractTagByName>IE[9],,A,yui-first-link,0,FirstTag

will cause an 'access violation' to occur, if IE[9] does not exist, or, as in my case, wasn't actually completed rendering just yet.

If you run this one line by itself, I would expect it to fail gracefully, perhaps even set an error flag, but instead it let me know in no uncertain terms that I didn't wait long enough

And yes, proper coding and using IEWaitDocumentComplete would prevent this error. Unfortunately, the site I'm working with doesn't really allow for IEWaitDocumentComplete, the javascript (or whatever it is on the page) keeps this from ever happening. Instead, I have to use IEWaitTimeout, which isn't always accurate.

Thanks Marcus! Version 14 overall, was my Christmas wishlist come true

Agree. Will improve this in next maintenance release.
