Catching JavaScript in InternetExplore r with Python / win32com

Hi!

I'm working on a tool which helps in testing applications with web-frontends (on
Windows)
On thing I would like to test ist the occurence of JavaScript errors; the idea
is that the test tool does many request and actions on the Internet Explorer and
collects all errors (including JavaScript errors) together into a report. I've
setted up a framework for controlling an Internet Explorer instance using Python
and win32com, but so far I have not found anything to actually catch JavaScript
errors. Has anyone experience with that?

Thanks for all ideas,
Florian

P. S.
Python version 2.2.x
Internet Explorer 6.y

You might want to check out pyjtf at Sourceforge: http://pyjtf.sourceforge.net.
It's a small package I released which does something like what you are
asking about. You could use it for inspiration, butcher it for example
code, or maybe even find a way to contribute to it. :-)

Hi, I am quite new to Python, PythonCom and COM generally. As a former Java programmer, I have found Python's flexible ability to access native Win32, especially COM, very comfortable. However, there is quite little on-line documentation and examples available about PythonCOM. The only good sources I have found were the sample chapter from Mark Hammond's book and some decades old PowerPoint show. I have a following problem:

I have to write a spyder for a webpage that uses html + javascript. I had it written using mechanize but the authors of the webpage now use a lot of javascript. Mechanize can no longer do the job. Does anyone know how I could automate my spyder to understand javascript? Is there a way to control a browser like firefox from python itself? How about IE? That way, we do not have to go thru something like mechanize?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
