Excellent thanks I will still thrown from not needing a wend so missed the quote due to lack of experience Thank you Rick

You're right All the research I did showed how to make fake ones but you had to specify the statusbar info Going back to IE and play with it. I already have a faster way to find a textbox on a webpage thanks to the status bar and the clipboard Rick

Got undterminated string constant char 38 <script LANGUAGE="JScript"> var ie = new ActiveXObject("internetexplorer.application"); ie.visible =false; ie.navigate ("http://www.yahoo.com/); while ( ie.readystate != 4 ){ WScript.sleep (10); } </script> The line would be useless unless you wanted the whole script

My over caffein stimulated slightly ADHD brain created someone's signature file Wow Rick

Aloha gang How can I get the statusbar to appear with an HTA? By default it does not and I'd like to use it to read tabs to links Rick

Thanks That'll take some getting used to. I know for next for example is used in vbscript which follows the open close loop idea as autoit does. Rick

You could just write a script to do thatUse the command line function of aut2exe and place the compiled aut2exepass in the path Rick

But there's a while statement in there don't you need a while end or something to close the loop? Rick

Now I still byte at vbs and more so with jscript So do you need a wend or will that scrip do it? Rick

Look at case in the help file It really helped me out a lot when I started using it Rick

I just tried the status bar thing to a junkemail responder I wrote for hotmail and it works great thanks guys! I added a mousemove to 0,0 to make sure the mouse wouldn't cause any status bar text Thanks Rick

Choice is a great thing I like the HTAs with auoitx because I can incorporate everything that I can on a webpage and use run in autoitx to run compiled scripts Great combo especially for this nonreal programmer Rick

I know you guys love gui But all this is possible already using an hta vbs, javascript, dhtml, and autoitx Rick

So you're reading the status bar to see what the link is? Clever hope there's no mouse over status bar functions to mess that up Rick

I like the sleep idea instead of a continuous loop like I used to use Are you converting to military time in your script or are you instructing your user to do so? Rick

That will work you just have to send a tab as well. Just keep sending a tab everytime you send your ^a sleep ^c I use this method myself in my submitbyrick submission thingie Rick

How you gonna read the string that has been tabbed to then? Rick

never seen it b4 looks lke an id number Rick

Keep in mind ahab whichever way you do it (nice one trids I never tried that before I'm too new) that it will become a string not a number so save that function for last Rick

I use that quite a bit What confused you. Keep in my I'm no expert like these guys are Rick

$val = 3.5$output = StringFormat("%.2f", $val) MsgBox(4096, "", $output) Got this from Jon Rick

One trick I do is to send ^a sleep(1000) ^c until certain text appears in the clipboard Sloppy but effective Rick

I've noticed sometimes if a window already has focus winwaitactive may not work Try winwait then winactivate Rick

Whenever I get confused about quotes, which is quite a bit I put the whole line in a var with a msgbox to check my var ;runwait(@scriptdir & "/c "c:\my spaced folder\my.exe") $var=@scriptdir $var=$var& " /c" msgbox(4096,"var",$var) You get the idea Rick

Actually I think it's a dos thing When I type command in run in 98 I get the dir explore has open. When I do it in xp I always get the same dir all the time Rick
