Once the html page from the web loads into the browser, its a simple matter to Ctrl A then do a clipboard save, but I need the entire html not just the text. Is there an easy way to save the html to hard drive? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I see there is a command to Move Mouse to text cursor, but no way to search for text and hilite text and then somehow get the text cursor to that position, since if i could move the text cursor there, then I could move the mouse to that same point and then read the position of the mouse and order the mouse to move a slight relative amount now to the click point.. This seems like it would be a great command, to get the position of hilited text following a Find command.. Any suggestions?

I have a page that each time it loads slightly different material, it moves the button just a tiny amount for each page so I can never know exactly where it will end up. That makes it difficult to click by Move Mouse. It has some text just before the button, is there any way to search for the text and then detect the position of the text so I can move my mouse there and then add the exact offset to the button from the hilited text... IF I could get the mouse to move to the position of the hilited text, I could then just give it some x y offsets.. I tried tab, but that failed.. In other words the text is always relatively the same offsets to the button, but not from the top of the page... Anyone have any ideas... this would be a great feature to add as it would really simply moving the mouse to buttons that land at many different places, depending on what other text is on the page.. Hope this all makes sense. Thanks Tom

Thanks, that worked great..

I am working in a loop downloading one file after the other, but am not sure of the best way to detect the completion of the download so the next one can start. I go thru all the motions of waiting for the File Download window, then do alt s , and alt s then download begins and a box is showing with a window named same as file name being downloaded... Then in last 20 seconds a small window by the name of Copying... pops up. Is there a way to wait for the window named 'Copying..." to close, that would be a good clue that the download is done... I see the commands to wait for a window with a specific name, but is there a way to wait for the window named "Copying to close.... like "not" window... Like wait for window "Copying..." to appear and as soon as it does, go to the next step and some how wait for 'Copying... window "NOT" please help... with this. Or is there something better to monitor so I can restart the next download process... with my loop. Thanks Tom

Thanks Kevin, You kept me staring at that code till I could finally see it.. I was staring at the code looking for something like this: Delay 123 millisec Text Type:Hello Dolly! Delay 123 millisec When in fact when you do a recording, it enters the text like this. one character at a time. So the text is a whole lot less noticable... Delay 123 millisec Text Type:H Delay 123 millisec Text Type:e Delay 123 millisec Text Type:l Delay 123 millisec Text Type:l Delay 123 millisec Text Type:o Delay 123 millisec Text Type: Delay 123 millisec Text Type:D Delay 123 millisec Text Type:o Delay 123 millisec Text Type:l Delay 123 millisec Text Type:l Delay 123 millisec Text Type:y Delay 123 millisec Thanks again, you finally got me straight. So as soon as I used the Find command - Find "Text Type" all the text started showing up like a big dog.

Thanks for the response Kevin, but obviously there is something that I don't understand yet.. When I made the statement above, I meant that I had loaded the recorded macro into the Scipt Editor and see only commands and no text... This process actually filled out a form on the web and submitted it completely and I could see it typing the text for me and even backspacing and correcting my typos, but when I look into the recorded macro I see no script... here is an example of all I see: <MSD:0219><MMS2:865,287><MMS2:868,288><MSD:0030><MMS2:871,289> <MSD:0062><MMS2:870,289><MMS2:869,288><MSD:0015><MMS2:868,286> <MSD:0016><MMS2:866,285><MMS2:864,285><MSD:0014><MMS2:862,287> <MSD:0015><MMS2:861,287> This was copied and pasted from the script editor... Course this is what it actually looks like in the script editor: Delay 219 Milliseconds Mouse Move Screen 865,287 Mouse Move Screen 868,288 Delay 30 Milliseconds and on and on but no text at all in the entire thing... What am i missing....

When I load the macro generated by the recorder, I can only see things like mouse move and etc but no text that was typed such as filling out a form. Is there any way to edit the text that was typed after a macro has been recorded? For Example in filling out a form I type the name Tom Jones in the name field. Is there anyway to change that to Bill Clinton so that next time it plays the new name will be inserted.. Same for corrections, if you do a typo, you can see it back space and correct the error, is there anyway to go in and edit the backspace and enter the correct spelling so the macro does not have to edit itself... Thanks in advance.

This sounds really great, I have just completed a menu using visual basic program to allow me to access tons of stuff on the computer and web by simple mouse clicks, but I think it could be even better using this macro. Would appreciate a copy if you don't mind... also I program in just about any language you can imagine and would love to see the basic source code if you would be willing to part with it.. along with the 60 menu macro. I love to program and I would probably make lots of changes to it, and if you liked any of them I would be sure to share with you... Thanks Tom
