Hi,

I am working on a script to go to a website, search for certain keywords and then print the results. But sometimes, the web server is down and then my script will hang there forever. I wonder if there are some ways so that I can add some checking, if the server is down and I can continue to the next server without hanging there forever. The command I used is just like the following scripts. Thanks in advance!

IE_Create>0,IE[0]

IE_Navigate>%IE[0]%,http://chemfinder.cambridgesoft.com/,r
IE_Wait>%IE[0]%,r
Wait>delay
