Is there a way to seek out the user:|__USER NEME__| box on a webpage without telling the Autoit to TAB, a billion times?

First of all this post should be moved to the v3 Support Forum.

Now to your problem...

1st Idea: You could always use a mouse click instead of tab if you know the resolution and position of the box. This could cause a problem if the webpage moves as it is resized. you could fix this by making it maximised before clicking.

2nd Idea: I'm not sure why it works and I know it doesn't work all of the time, but you could use the syntax 'www.thesite.com/currentpage.html?titleofbox=yourname&titleofpassbox=password'. Here is my College's portal page for an example. To get the title of the username and password boxes you need to look at the source code for the pages.

An Example

Hope that helps.

the syntax 'www.thesite.com/currentpage.html?titleofbox=yourname&titleofpassbox=password' is specific to a particular web page. The approach only works when the target web page processes HTML Form input using the 'GET' method (where form data is passed as part of the URL) -- most web applications use the more flexible 'POST' method where the form data is passed in the background.
