Opening save dialog

[Blade1]

Hi,

I'm running Windows 7 and using autoscript. I want to launch IE9 at a specified address (works), press ctrl s and save the webpage. The last 2 bits I cannot do. The script below is what I have.

$my_url = "http://www.google.com"

ShellExecute ( "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe", $my_url )

Send("^S")

However, the Send() function does not successfully open the save dialog. How can I do this?

Thanks

If you use Send() you will need to have the IE windows on front, maybe ControlSend() will be more useful.

That function takes a few parameters. What would be an example of using that function on a webpage?

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com")

_IEAction($oIE, "saveas")

Mt IE dont have the Save option even the File menu... and my mozilla resist the key sending.

for example: this should work, but it doesn´t

Controlsend("[CLASS:MozillaUIWindowClass]","","[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass;INSTANCE:1]","^S")

Maybe InetGet() will be useful. you can get html bodys or images or wherever you want.

$my_url = "http://www.google.com"
$my_file = "google.html"
$inetget = InetGet($my_url,$my_file)

This worked perfectly! Thanks. How could I save the file in the save as box? Sorry for all the questions!
