web recoder function from Win7 IEv11 to WinServer2012R2 IEv11

Post by jrosales » Tue May 29, 2018 2:42 pm

Hi, heplme command.

On my pc with w7 the command works:

IEExtractTag>%IE[0]%,,TD,6,0,TD6,ie_res

But in 1 virtual machine w server 2012 r2 does not work. Both have internet explorer 11. why the difference? .

What command could I use to extract the value from the cell? Thanks for your help.

There are subtle differences between IE11 on Win7 and IE11 on Win10/Server2012 and we've found that with some websites elements that appear accessible on IE11+Win10 aren't available on IE11+Win7. So this could be something similar. Recently something that worked on IE11+Win10 would not work on IE11+Win7 until we put IE11 into development mode and switched it to IE10 compatibility mode. I wonder if you are seeing a similar issue.

Yes, it's that. I have been able to overcome using another command.

IEGetTags>%urlpag3%, TD, T, tags
Let> td6 = tags_6

But I want to ask to be safer. The versions of Macro Scheduler there are no true differences? that is to say, if a commando works in one version in another it does not stop working for some type of improvement. Thank

Correct, the function should always work, as far as Macro Scheduler is concerned. Obviously the environment itself is out of our control but there's no intention to change behaviour and we strive for backwards compatibility. If we change behaviour we would usually add a new function or a switch.
