Automating Web Pages

Frames Multiple Browser Windows („Popups“) Dialog boxes of all kinds

Many web pages contain elements to help them organize their content better. These elements have in common that they are an additional challenge to web page automation.

Frames

Frames

FRAME F=<x>

Number <x> depends on the position of the frame in the object tree of website

FRAME F=0 is used for the frame page itself or when switching to a website without frames

Internet Macros recognizes frames automatically:

Popups (More than one web page open at the same time)

Dialogs

Dialog examples

Javascript Dialogs

ONDIALOG POS=<x> BUTTON=… CONTENT=…

POS is used when many dialogs occur directly after each other. Specify a specific decision for each dialog (POS=1 is first dialog, POS=2 is second dialog.)

CONTENT is used to fill out a Javascript PROMPT dialog.

Extract the text of a dialog with SET !EXTRACTDIALOG YES

Login Dialog

ONLOGIN USER=username PASSWORD=password

The password is stored with the method you selected on the SECURITY tab of the options dialog. More details about the different password storage options later.

Download Dialog

ONDOWNLOAD FOLDER=* FILE=+_{{yyyyymmdd_hhnnss}}

The general web page timeout also applies to downloads. If needed, you can also increase the timeout value inside the macro with SET !TIMEOUT

Download File Settings

FOLDER Settings:

Empty or ("*") => default folder or the absolute path to a folder,

FILE Settings:

Example: You want to download a file with the file name "stockreport.pdf"

If you use "FILE=*" you get "stockreport.pdf"

If you use "FILE=Intel" you get "Intel.pdf" (the original file extension is always preserved)

If you use "FILE=+Intel" you get "stockreportIntel.pdf" ("+" means, that the text is appended to the original file name)

If you use "FILE=+_{{!NOW:YYYYMMDD_hhmmss}}" you get "stockreport_20040525_141030.pdf"

Security Dialog

ONSECURITYDIALOG BUTTON=YES CONTINUE=YES

While testing web sites, you may want the macro to stop and report the security dialog to you. In this case, please use CONTINUE=NO

Certificate Dialog

ONCERTIFICATEDIALOG C=<x>

Some secure web pages ask you to select a client side certificate.

Error Dialog

ONERRORDIALOG BUTTON=YES CONTINUE=YES

While testing web sites, you may want the macro to stop and report the security dialog to you. In this case, please use CONTINUE=NO

Web Page Dialog

ONWEBPAGEDIALOG KEYS=Hello{ENTER}{CLOSE}

Since web page dialogs can contain any number of buttons or boxes, this dialog is automated by sending a specific list to keyboard commands to them. Internet Macros has a wizard for testing the command.

Web page dialogs are similar to standard JavaScript dialogs, but display HTML content instead.
