Hello friends, this is probably not a bug report, but a hint to a special webpage (http://www.comdirect.de) that cannot be handled by Win32::IE::Mechanize. I observed that my script terminates while IE is still loading the page (I have a slow analog modem). $ie->_wait_while_busy() doesn't help. $ie->success() returns 1. I can click interactively on the buttons of the page and continue to browse. The page cannot be stored interactively. When the contents is stored by my script, the HTML code doesn't contain a <BODY> tag. Is there any chance to work with this webpage using Win32::IE::Mechanize? I attached my script that shows the problem. The output of the script reads Success: +1+ HTML: ++ Uri http://www.comdirect.de/ Titel comdirect bank AG Success: +1+ Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any further help. Kind regards Klaus Wittrock

Hello, here is some additional info: My perl version is 5.8.4. My Win32::IE::Mechanize version is 0.009. My OS version is Windows XP with SP2. My IE version is 6.0. In my script I added sleep(120) directly after $mech->get($uri), to prevent Win32::IE::Mechanize from continuing before the page is loaded. Now Win32::IE::Mechanize finds 2 links (by far too few), no forms, no images. I cannot see any chance to continue navigating in Win32::IE::Mechanize. Apparently Win32::IE::Mechanize doesn't see in the object what I see on the screen. Kind regards Klaus Wittrock
