Well, I don't think the source code or the tab-enter trick will work. The problem is that I want to search a given area (or even the entire screen) on the screen and detect the pixel coordinates where the link starts and ends. I don't want to click on it - just detect its presence. When I find the link then I will move the mouse there and do a macro test to see if it's the link I'm looking for. Basically I'm looking to have the macro find the location on the screen of all the links on the page. Any other ideas?

I've tried tabbing to the image then "move mouse to cursor" but it just moves the mouse to the left of the screen. Thanks

Oh - I should mention that the hyperlinks I'm searching for are not text. They are images. Thanks

I've used the method of moving the cursor around the screen and checking for the "If cursor equals Internet navigate" but this is way too slow when checking the entire screen. Does anyone know how to find the location of a hyperlink in a faster manner - more like the "get pixel color at X, Y" can do? That method is very fast, but I don't know how to detect a hyperlink that way - only color Thanks Roger

Thank you both for the excellent help. You are correct.

Thank you for the suggestions. The first one will work. I had never thought of doing it with a variable, since the thing I'm putting on the clipboard is an entire Web page, but I tried it and it works. Who'd-a-thunk of naming an entire Web page with a variable? The second suggestion, with the else statement is a little trickier, since I can't predict what the web page will contain. In other words I have no "Special Stuff" to search on. If I did I would have just used the 'If Clipboard Contains" function to start with. I only wanted to know if it does NOT contain a specific string. But I have a solution. Thanks. I hope someday they will add an "If Not Clipboard Contains" statement to save the extra steps. It seems silly that it isn't there.

I simply ordered it through my library Interlibrary Loan department, and being a recent book, they decided to purchase it. If you just want to read it or photocopy a few pages it might be the way to go. Or if you want a chance to preview it before you purchase it it would also be a good way to go about doing that.

I could really use a statement "If clipboard does not contain" but can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know a way to accomplish the same thing? Thank you, Roger

When I choose "Wait For Left Mouse Click" I have the option of a time to wait - "Wait for X seconds" I find that if the mouse click doesn't occur in the specified time the macro ends. I need it to continue on with the macro if it doesn't occur in the specified time. I've been trying to figure out another way around it such as a loop in which I detect a mouse click or something, but I'm not sure how to find if a mouse click has occured - such as watching for a certain ascii value or something else that will give it away. Any suggestions? Roger Internet Marketing products Reviewed Ratingshub
