Default Internet Explorer Plugin

Hello everyone..new user here.

I am fairly new to AA and have used it successfully a few times.
However I am trying to extract data from a website and I am having problems with the website not responding at times. I keep adding delays but that is making my task too slow. I have played a little with the "Wait for windows to change" option but no luck. I read in the help the option of an IE plugin that waits for website to load before continuing, but beside that I do not find any other mention on how to get that going.

Would some one please enlighten me?

Thanks in advanced.

Usually AA will wait for pages to load before moving onto the next command... and manually setting a delay isn't necessary at all. There are no settings that need to be set to do this... it just does it on it's own. I have not heard anything about a "plugin" for IE to do this... but I haven't been using AA for that long.

If you can share the website here I can have a look at it. The only time I could see there being issues is when content on the page is loaded asynchronously (using AJAX) and is not loaded with the initial page load.

Thanks for the response.
Actually, AA does not wait and at times the program continues and tries to enter information when the page has not changed yet.
I looked for help on "Wait" or "delay" and it came up on the help section.
But I looked into it a little more and it appears to be as part of a future update.
I am sorry I cannot post the website as it is confidential/sensitive information.

thanks.

Hello,

You can also create the custom delay. For e.g. if particular control on webpage takes little extra time to load then you can put up a loop to wait until that particular web control exsists.

Loop while web control does not exist
Delay: [500ms]
End Loop
//Followed by commands to enter information on webpage

Hope that helps.
