Determine correct state of HTML Browser

62 New Member
Hello !
I recently read about adding a reference to the VB Project of MS HTML Object library and tried out a click or two. It seems a nice way to automate IE actions.

However, I have some doubts about determining the state of the HTMLDocument object. If one clicks on a link the href of which makes the entire DOM reload (like navigating to a different page for instance), the state is not "complete" [if I'm not mistaken, it is "interactiv e"]. But, on the other hand, if my page has a link with an href like "javascript:som eFunction();" and even if the function takes like 15 seconds to finish, the state was still "complete".

I tried to run the line "Debug.prin t objDOM.readySta te" in a loop. My page had the JavaScript decoding a large Base64 encoded string retrieved from XML file (none of which I'm allowed to share, unfortunately).

So I guess my question is: Is there some means to programmaticall y find out if the JavaScript triggered by an onclick has finished acting on the HTMLDocument object or not ? This JavaScript could be an internal function or an AJAX request...one can never be sure.

Thanks in advance for sharing information.

I have a script that I want to run only when my input box IS NOT disabled. Can someone tell me if something is wrong with my script? Is "disabled" the correct property to use? function TextChanged(i){ if (!document.ScheduleForm.disabled) { document.ScheduleForm.txtRecordStatus.value = "Changes Made; Record Not Saved."; document.ScheduleForm.txtRecordStatus.style.color = "#FF0000"; }

We are in the process of upgrading part of a large system to .NET, whilst the majority will remain ASP. Sharing session state information will not be a problem at the moment as it is trivial and will be passed in using QueryString. More pressing is the synchronisation of session timeouts between the two environments. Is the only way to do this to have URL references from one environment to another. For example on the ASP pages have...

Problem with sessions I have created an application without concern for sessions. As it turns out I think that might be my undoing. What I have: I have an online quiz.

I thought I could run docmd.SetWarnings in the immediate window with no argument and A97 would return True or False, depending on the current setting. I was wrong. Anybody know how to make the determination in the immediate window?

Access 97 does not provide a means of reading the most recent setting for SetWarnings Method. For example, if you had CBF that called a procedure in a global module and the following statement was executed: DoCmd.SetWarnings False Then you would not be able to take peek at the setting when processing returned to the calling
