PsycoWiLL Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) hi, i faced a problem when trying to make a script to automate my email. i am using firefox what i am trying to do is to wait till the window has loaded the page i am waiting for, for example, lets say i wanna wait till the current window shows the "keyword" on the middle left of the page. i dont actually care for the position at this time (maybe later) but what i want is a function that finds that keyword occurrence and returns me true if so, false if not. also if possible id need a function to check if the page has loaded yet. tia WiLL Edited May 16, 2005 by PsycoWiLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do in IE is Send() tabs until the correct frame has focus, use Send() for ctrl-a, ctrl-c to copy all contents to the clipboard. After this, I run ClipGet() and search it using StringInStr().This way works great for me.-John Admin_Popup, show computer info or launch shellRemote Manager, facilitates connecting to RDP / VNCProc_Watch, reprioritize cpu intensive processesUDF: _ini_to_dict, transforms ini file entries into variablesUDF: monitor_resolutions, returns resolutions of multiple monitorsReport Computer Problem, for your IT help deskProfile Fixer, fixes a 'missing' AD user profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
