Yellowjacket 0 Posted May 19, 2015 Brand new user, trying to figure out the very basics, looking for answers to basic questions like:"I want to automate clicking a link/button/picture on IE, how do I do that?" Specifically, I'm struggling to understand how I can "get" the "name" (oObject?) of the link or button in question in order to automate it the process.Rather than plague you all with myriad newbie questions, is there a good reference database for basic internet functions and utility, including examples, from which I can get started? I'm a moderately competent programmer, but the documentation seems to take for granted a level of basic internet knowledge that I don't possess (I don't know what "object" or "frame" really means in this context, etc.Thanks!

spudw2k 209 Posted May 20, 2015 The help file is a great resource. There are User Defined Functions that start with "_IE" that will be a good starting point.

JohnOne 1,598 Posted May 20, 2015 As I understand it, an object is anything in a web page, such as a link, a text, an image, video etc....A frame is a complete different full document embedded in a page, which could come from a completely different domain.
