sdspieg Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I am trying to repeat various actions on paginated webpages, and I have a macro that just recorded my mouse movements and works reasonably well. But not perfect, since the boxes do not always appear in the right place. Hence the following two questions: is there a way of finding this box then clicking on it in a way that does not involve using the mouse ? and then the same here: is there a way to reliably jump to the next page - again without using a mouse? Thanks much for any advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I don't have much time here but I would like to mention an alternative. After thousands of hours of trying to find boxes and do anything in a web browser with MEP and a mouse, I gave up and learned to do everything by keyboard, mostly using the tab key. Hit the home button and count the number of tabs to the control you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acantor Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 You may be able to combine Cory's technique with searching for text on the page. Something like this: Type: <CONTROL>f //Find // Insert short delay, maybe 100 ms Type: Select 1 - 100<ENTER> Type: <ESC> // Cancel the search // Insert short delay Type: <SHIFT><TAB> // Navigate to the check box and give it focus Type: <SPACE> // Check the checkbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
