This is just an FYI...

It would seem that KiXtart OLE has difficulty with retrieving get/set properties under Internet Explorer (5.5).

The following 3.63 script navigates to microsoft and displays a get-only property (nameprop) and a get/set property (title). KiXtart thinks that the get title is actually a method call and reports that it's missing ()'s ...

[KiX 3.63]

code:

---

break on

$ie = olecreateobject("internetexplorer.application")

if $ie

 $= olecallfunc ($ie,"navigate","s","http://www.microsoft.com")

 while olegetproperty($ie,"busy") <> "0" and @error = 0 loop
 while olegetproperty($ie,"readystate") <> "4" and @error = 0 loop
 $document = val("&"+olegetproperty($ie,"document"))

 if $document

 ?"name=" olegetproperty($document,"nameprop")
 ?"title=" olegetproperty($document,"title")

 endif

endif

exit

---

[KiX 2001 (kix32.exe)]

code:

---

break on

$ie = createobject("internetexplorer.application")

if $ie

 $= $ie.navigate("http://www.microsoft.com")

 while $ie.busy and @error = 0 loop
 while $ie.readystate <> 4 and @error = 0 loop

 $document = $ie.document

 if $document

 ?"Name=" $document.nameprop

 ; The following get property does not work ...

 ?"Title=" $document.title

 endif

endif

?"pause..." gets $k

exit

---

KiX2001 reports the following error:

Script error : invalid method/function call: missing '(' ! endif
