document.getElementByID not working

[Michael8790]

Dear AHK Team,

I can't make the document.getElementById command work.
At first it gave me an error saying the interface has not been detected (specifically document).
Now when I try to run the command below it gives the error: 0x80004005 - Unknown error
Specifically: document
Line 006
Continue running script y/n

Any idea what causes this issue?

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, force

wb := ComObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application") ; Create a IE instance
wb.Visible := True
wb.Navigate("https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl")
wb.document.getElementById("lst-ib").value := "test"
return

Hi SwagFag,

Thank you for your reply.
Sorry yes I tried that as well with IE ready state 4.
I have just tried it again with a sleep, 20000 command but the issue is the same 20 seconds later.

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, force

wb := ComObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application") ; Create a IE instance
wb.Visible := True
wb.Navigate("https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl")
sleep, 20000
wb.document.getElementById("lst-ib").value := "test"
return

It opens Google through IE but it always tells me that it can't access the document interace.
Can anyone else point me in the right direction?

Any kind of help would be much appreciated...
