selkov Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I am using a macro to fill in information on a wb page. I recoded the mouse location when i clicked in the first box and then tabed thru the rest. But often for smoe reason it gets out of sync. It starts entering the information for line 2 on line 1 How can i ensure it writes tot eh first box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rberq Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Try, if possible, clicking somewhere prior to the first box, so that a TAB will then jump you to the first box. For example, I have a form where there is a label to the left of the first box, like so: LAST NAME: [box to enter last name] I have found that clicking on the label, then typing a TAB, positions me reliably to the first box. Also try putting some WAIT FOR TEXT commands after typing fields; and/or some WAIT FOR WEB PAGE commands. These seem to be especially helpful in cases where there is a drop-down box and Internet Explorer needs time to react when you enter data into a field. It may be wishful thinking or my imagination, but these WAITs seem to make my web forms work better -- slower, but far more reliable.
