COM (DispatchEx) problem

[Leszek]

Hi everybody !

I'm starting my script with:

ie = win32com.client.DispatchEx("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible = 1
ie.Navigate("http://www.chip.pl")

while ie.Busy == True:
win32api.Sleep(1000)

doc = ie.document

then I make "submit" and new page opens.
but

print doc.body.innerHtml

gives the same Html code than before "submit". What is going on ? How to see
new document ?

Thanks for any help.

If you are just trying to get at the HTML source for a given URL, use urllib
or urllib2.

Here's the code to get the HTML source for yahoo.com:

import urllib
serverListPage = urllib.urlopen( "http://www.yahoo.com" )
htmlSource = serverListPage.read()
serverListPage.close()

Bypasses the whole COM and IE mess, and it's portable, to boot!
