Hey guys,

I created a hot key to automatically check in for southwest. It used to work fine. but now when i tried to run today. i get the following error. The error comes up after the script is able to send the confirmation number and first and last name to the form and the error happens when it tries to click on the submit button. It used to work before, what could have changed?:

Function Name: "click"
ERROR: The COM Object may not be a valid Dispatch Object!
First ensure that COM library has been initialized through COM_Init().
()

Will Continue?

Here's my code:
Code:
#include C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Lib\COM.AHK
COM_Release( pwb ) ; Always release COM objects
COM_Term()
COM_Init() ; Initialize COM
pwb := COM_CreateObject( "InternetExplorer.Application" ) ; Create an IE object
COM_Invoke( pwb, "Visible", True ) ; Make the IE object visible
COM_Invoke( pwb, "Navigate", "http://www.southwest.com/flight/retrieveCheckinDoc.html" ) ; Navigate to a webpage
Sleep, 2000
While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "ReadyState" ) <> 4
; While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "Busy" )
   Continue
WinMaximize, A
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all.confirmationNumber.value", CONFIRM)
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all.firstName.value", FNAME)
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all.lastName.value", LNAME)

While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "ReadyState" ) <> 4
 ;While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "Busy" )
   Continue
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all[submitButton].click")
Sleep, 2000
While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "ReadyState" ) <> 4
 ;While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "Busy" )
   Continue
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all[printDocuments].click")
COM_Release( pwb ) ; Always release COM objects
COM_Term() ; Always Uninitialize COM

They could've simply changed something on the web page, have you double-checked to make sure that's still the valid name/id of the Submit button?

id="submitButton"
name="submitButton"
type="submit"
title="Check In"
value="Check In"/>

When you choose to continue on the error message does it work for the other click without error?

I ran this script on a different PC which is running IE8 and it ran fine without issues. I have recently updated to IE9 and it is erroring for me. Anyone know what needs to be updated going from IE8 to IE9 or what needs to be changed so it runs on both?

That problem sounds vaguely familiar, humor me and run this modified code for me:


Code:
#include C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Lib\COM.AHK
IID := "{332C4427-26CB-11D0-B483-00C04FD90119}" ; IHTMLWindow2
COM_Init() ; Initialize COM
pdsp := COM_CreateObject( "InternetExplorer.Application" ) ; Create an IE object
COM_Invoke( pdsp, "Visible", True ) ; Make the IE object visible
COM_Invoke( pdsp, "Navigate", "http://www.southwest.com/flight/retrieveCheckinDoc.html" ) ; Navigate to a webpage
pwb := COM_QueryService(pdsp, IID, IID)
Sleep, 2000
While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "ReadyState" ) <> 4
; While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "Busy" )
   Continue
WinMaximize, A
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all.confirmationNumber.value", CONFIRM)
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all.firstName.value", FNAME)
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all.lastName.value", LNAME)

While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "ReadyState" ) <> 4
 ;While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "Busy" )
   Continue
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all[submitButton].click")
Sleep, 2000
While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "ReadyState" ) <> 4
 ;While, COM_Invoke( pwb, "Busy" )
   Continue
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all[printDocuments].click")
COM_Release( pwb ), COM_Release( pdsp ) ; Always release COM objects
COM_Term() ; Always Uninitialize COM

The script didnt make it to the click portion.

The new error states:
Funcation Name: "ReadyState"
Error: The COM object may not be a valid Dispatch Object!
First ensure that COM library has been initialized through COM_INIT().
()
Continue?

:(

Unrelated: Quick question when using .click or .value which thing should I use. the "id" or the "name" and what if the id for two different things are the same?

id="submitButton"
name="submitButton"

Thanks :)

Let's try this a different way then...

Code:
#include C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Lib\COM.AHK
IID := "{332C4427-26CB-11D0-B483-00C04FD90119}" ; IHTMLWindow2
COM_Init() ; Initialize COM
pdsp := COM_CreateObject( "InternetExplorer.Application" ) ; Create an IE object
COM_Invoke( pdsp, "Visible", True ) ; Make the IE object visible
COM_Invoke( pdsp, "Navigate", "http://www.southwest.com/flight/retrieveCheckinDoc.html" ) ; Navigate to a webpage
Sleep, 2000
While, COM_Invoke( pdsp, "ReadyState" ) <> 4
; While, COM_Invoke( pdsp, "Busy" )
   Continue
pwb := COM_QueryService(pdsp, IID, IID)
WinMaximize, A
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all.confirmationNumber.value", CONFIRM)
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all.firstName.value", FNAME)
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all.lastName.value", LNAME)

While, COM_Invoke( pdsp, "ReadyState" ) <> 4
 ;While, COM_Invoke( pdsp, "Busy" )
   Continue
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all[submitButton].click")
Sleep, 2000
While, COM_Invoke( pdsp, "ReadyState" ) <> 4
 ;While, COM_Invoke( pdsp, "Busy" )
   Continue
COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all[printDocuments].click")
COM_Release( pwb ), COM_Release( pdsp ) ; Always release COM objects
COM_Term() ; Always Uninitialize COM

@sinkfaze - querying for the ihtmlwindow returns a window object, not a webbrowser object.

What are the results of:
Code:
MsgBox %    "document: " COM_Invoke(pwb, "document")
      .     "all:   " COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all")
      .     "button:    " COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all[submitButton]")
      .     "length:    " COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.all[submitButton].length") ; length may cause a com error

I added that after this line:
COM_Invoke( pwb, "Navigate", "http://www.southwest.com/flight/retrieveCheckinDoc.html" ) ; Navigate to a webpage

And i got this error:
Function Name: "document"
Error: Unspecified Error
(0x80004005)

Prog:
Desc:
Help: ,0

Will continue?
