To use AutoIT in firefox.(Downloaded FF.au3)

[RamandeepSingh]

hello everyone ,

    Well I am very much new to AutoIT and worked a very few dayz on it for some RnD purposes. I dont want to create a browser object so I am working with Sending keystrokes through the script in mozilla. what I wanted to do is almost done but I am confused that is it the right way.??
I have not used FF.au3 because its not showing intellisence and the methods in it are giving errors .

I have attached the Script file ...please have a look and let me know if i can make it more consistent and "AutoIT" styleWise.......
thanks

RamandeepSingh,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

But please pay attention to where you post - the "Developer Chat" section where you started this thread is not for general support questions. I have moved the thread for you, but would ask you to be more careful in future.

I suggest to use ControlSend, since simple send causes bug rarely (Alt button will get stucked). Anyways it's better, since it sends directly to a window, not to everything.

Your best bet is to figure out why FF.au3 wasn't functioning as expected. Do you have MozRepl installed and running?

[RamandeepSingh]

Thanks for the usefull replies guys.......

Well yes I have MozRepl installed and I hope its working too .....

I ll look forward to make FF.au3 working and use ControlSend ...too

this is the error which  I am getting -

_FFConnect: OS: WIN_8 WIN32_NT 9200

well I am getiing this .....
Is my MozRepl really working ..??
any more suggestions and feedbacks are welcomed .....thanks guyz

your error is discussed in the "Example Scripts" for the FF UDF thread. it requires a fix to the UDF itself (a very simple fix).

(scroll up a bit)

to make MozRepl active, click F10 for the Firefox menu, Tools > MozRepl > "start" or "Activate on startup"

Well It Worked .....
made a small test script and FF.au3 Worked ...
Thanks a lot ....Guys
you made my day......
For others who are looking for the small "FIX".......

its ...the line inFF.au3

Local $sFFExe = RegRead($sHKLM & "" & RegRead($sHKLM, "CurrentVersion") & "\Main", "PathToExe")

change it to -

Local $sFFExe = RegRead($sHKLM & "\" & RegRead($sHKLM, "CurrentVersion") & "\Main", "PathToExe")

and Hopefully issue will be fixed.....
Happy Coding....
