That's good news, we can eliminate the title as a root cause in this
case.
Its an issue when running with Firefox,
as Firefox appends the name of the file being saved to the dialog's
title.
I'm sorry but I only have IE8 available to me, but have seen many
differences in behavior between IE6 & IE7 when working for clients
in the past, so I understand your frustration.
Can you tell what spawns the blank IE window that opened and does
NOT close with IE6 when the "Download Complete" dialog closes?
Was it spawned by a step performed prior to calling this function?
If the root case of what spawned that blank browser can't be
eliminated
try to attack the symptom it casused.
Use AutoIt to attach to that extra blank window and close it.
# Create an AutoIt object
oAutoIt = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")
# Presuming that the title of the window in question is:
about:blank
oAutoIt.WinClose("about:blank", "")
This would at least get the code working with IE6 without hanging.
