Correct Way to Write Browser Automation Scripts

[longphant]

Hi,

I wrote a script recently that would fill in information for me on some websites. The way I found which field to fill in was by going into Firebug and inspecting that element. I would find the appropriate field (like name, or id) and then scroll up to find the form. This seemed very slow to me, as there were many fields to fill in. Is there a better way of doing this?

Hi,

Made in AutoIt, or a script by an addon?

Br, FireFox.

There is an UDF available to automate FireFox in the Example Scripts forum.

Maybe that helps.
