These are two examples of the same site. Sportsbook is OK, while exchange is completely empty.

The first appears to want the very latest versions of the browsers, and seems to think WebRecorder is not, yet it is a wrapper for IE so should make no difference.

You should still be able to use IE Element Wizard and use those functions instead as these work against your existing IE browser. That is our preferred route and we plan to discontinue the WebRecorder method eventually.

My latest IE version is 11, that is the last available version. IE Element wizard on the button elements, shows only the URL. Why?
Perhaps, the page has nested frames/frames... What can I solve this problem? My script worked very well until last week :(

I have found the fix for this. Please modify (or add it if not already there) this registry key:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

Add DWORD entry called "webrecorder.exe" (without quotes) to decimal value 11000

Then restart WebRecorder. I will make sure the next version of the installer adds this key for you.
