dkim295 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Hello again, I have a new question! Been reading through but can't seem to find the right function to use. How do I check for any changes in the website? For example, there's this site that changes (on average) once in 2 days, and I don't know when exactly. But as soon as the visual content changes, I get a notification/email about the new change. I tried using InetGetSize but failed in my mission. Hello, please forgive me for taking away your valuable time. ; Start Chrome with the URL "http://www.december.com/html/demo/form.html" _ChromeStartup("http://www.december.com/html/demo/form.html") ; Wait for the page with the document title of "HTML Form Example" _ChromeDocWaitForExistenceByTitle("HTML Form Example", 10) ; Set the value of the field labelled "Your age:" to "8" _ChromeObjSetValueByName("user-age", "8") ; Select the radio button labelled "Female" _ChromeInputSetCheckedByName("user-gender", true, 1) I set up Chrome UDF as instructed in the examples forum and downloaded a sample code as well to test things out. In the sample code includes above lines. When I execute the sample code, I am directed to the URL above, however, nothing happens afterwards. For example, "Your age" field is not set to "8" as per code. I'd appreciate it so much if anyone could give me some insights. Thank you!

dkim295 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yes, that's the one. I think I'm ok now. Made an app for personal use. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkim295 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Ok, so Chrome UDF works fine, though I have to use "sleep" rather than _ChromeDocWaitForExistenceByTitle in first post. I just made a simple auto login for various websites. I have a new question! Been reading through but can't seem to find the right function to use. How do I check for any changes in the website? For example, there's this site that changes (on average) once in 2 days, and I don't know when exactly. But as soon as the visual content changes, I get a notification/email about the new change. I tried using InetGetSize but failed in my mission. Your guidance/help would be appreciated! Thank you! Edited June 26, 2016 by dkim295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
