No Matching IE Instance Found Error

Hi I am totally new to Macro Scheduler and have never scripted in it before. I have just started a new position replacing an exiting admin and they had a script that is no longer functioning.

I have 3 IEGetTagsByAttrib lines that are erroring and giving me the referenced error message. What does this error message mean and what could be causing the error?

IEGetTagsByAttrib>%IE[0]%,TD,classname=form_lbl,T,tempTags
IEGetTagsByAttrib>%IE[0]%,TD,align=right,0,tTag
IEGetTagsByAttrib>%IE[0]%,TD,align=right,0,tTag

I suspect it means it can't find the iecreate instance with IE[0]

I just discovered this thread after being asked the same question in a support ticket, and I have an answer. Hopefully it will help others.

Copied from the help file :
This function will return an array of tag values for all tags of the given tag name and attribute value in the IE window whose URL matches or contains the specified URL

So this means that if you were to use this helpfile example :

Code: Select all

IEGetTagsByAttrib>amazon.co.uk,DIV,classname=rslt prod,T,pageResults

... you would need to have a corresponding IE browser opened to amazon.co.uk.
