sj7272 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Just wondered if anyone has come across this... I have a simple google serps scraper bot, but I am staying with IE8.I have a friend running a compiled version of this ubot, but he recently upgraded to IE9. My standard choosebyattribute grab of <A class=l onmousedown=*>*</A> to get to the results doesn't produce a match on his IE9.He just rolled back to IE8 and "perfecto!" all is well. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and if there is a more generic ChoosebyAttribute that works with all? Thx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 this is the thing with bots / programs. changes are made to keep up with the times. so in your code have it look for the way you use it for ie8 if exists then scrapelse if ie9 way exists scrape another way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tresehabas 2 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 did you get any problem with IE9? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotBuddy 331 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Right now IE9 = trouble for bots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajacko 15 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi guys - I have built a scraper in ie 9 - works perfectly BUT won't pull off results in IE8. So, as suggested, I think we'll need an IF cmd to check version of IE. I am attaching a simple one page scrape for IE9 - scrape on Bing works for both IE8 & IE9 but the google options pull over the whole Google cache in IE8. I'm not 100% sure if this works on PCs - it works on mine. As this is a pretty important scrape for most of us, would welcome any comments.test-google-scraper.ubot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
