camarosource Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I am wondering IF this is at all possible, and if so, HOW? With FIREFOX Browser open with multiple TABS open in it, I want to run a macro that will run in all the tabs at the same time. Macro Playback Speed: Normal Speed // Delay 150 Milliseconds Mouse Left Button Down Mouse Left Button Up Delay 500 Milliseconds Text Type: <CONTROL>f Delay 1 Seconds Text Type: <ALT>n Text Type: [I'll enter the text in here] Delay 1 Seconds Text Type: <ENTER> Delay 296 Milliseconds Text Type: <ESC> Delay 296 Milliseconds Text Type: <ENTER> Delay 150 Milliseconds I would like this command line to run in ALL the tabs that are open in the firefox browser at the SAME TIME. IS THIS POSSIBLE? HOW? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I don't think this is possible. An tab object is like any other object (field, checkbox, drop-down, ...). It is like asking your mouse and keyboard to do work in two different objects, or windows simultaneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Is it necessary to run the Firefox stuff in tabs? If not, you can open them in separate windows, which would be easier to manipulate using Macex. You may also be able to send keyboard commands to multiple windows by using Controls. You'll need to identify the correct windows and controls first. But if it works, it'll look like you're multi-tasking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
