Open IE to a specific page, or RUN a Shortcut?

[ThaSatelliteGuy]

I need to open my browser to a certain page. Cannot seem to find the instructions for that??

You could try using _IECreate

[Jos]

_IECreate() doesn't work with V2..

Look at the Sticky FAQ in the V3 support forum ...

[psionic85]

$my_url = "www.google.com"

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

Is this what you're looking for?

[Kamelot]

$my_url = "www.google.com"

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

Is this what you're looking for?

This works for English versions. How do I make it works for every Windows versions that have a different path for IE?

Thanks

You could use the @ProgramFilesDir macro to replace the "Program Files" part, or you could just make ShellExecute

open the link with the user's default browser. Like this :

ShellExecute("www.google.com")

Eehm, maybe like this...

_GoogleSearch("autoit beta")

Func _GoogleSearch($sString)
    $sString = StringReplace($sString, " ", "+")
    ShellExecute("www.google.com/search?q=" & $sString) 
EndFunc

Haven't tested it too much but it seems to work.

Hi, Thanks.

(1) I want to go to a website, then enter the telephone number and type the msg at the appropriate place, then press sent.

And below is what I did but I realise that if I change the size of the webpage or shift the webpage, Mouseclick will click at the wrong place thus I am not able to put the "send msg" into the appropriate box.

What must I do so that the mouse co-ordinates is relative to the webpage and not the computer screen.

(2) Are there any other ways of entering text into the forms of the website without using mouse co-ordinates?

Thanks:-

ShellExecute("http://websms.starhub.com/websmsn/usr/createMsgSessionPageShow.do?method=initCreateSession")

WinWaitActive("Starhub - Online - Mozilla Firefox")

MouseClick ( "left" , 919, 490 , 1 )

Send("12345678")

Have you tried IE.au3 or do you have to use Firefox ?

IE.au3 gives you the ability to automate web-related stuff so much easier and better than with clicks and keypresses.

Helpfile : User Defined Functions --> IE Management --> ...

Hi,

I dont have tpo use firefox. Ok, I've read Helpfile : User Defined Functions --> IE Management --> ... but I have difficulties trying to choose which functions to use so that I could automatically ask AutoIt to put some text into the message form in this url http://websms.starhub.com/websmsn/usr/crea...itCreateSession

I would appreciate if you could tell me what to do to put text into the msg box and I will try to do the rest.

Thanks

ShellExecute ("iexplore.exe", "insert url")

[jimmyjmmy]

ShellExecute ("iexplore.exe", "insert url")

Hi, Can you please explain why when the above is executed, it goes to http://www.google.com/search?q=insert+url&...amp;startPage=1

Thanks

Because that is the default action in your PC... Very simple..

[Wolffe]

Would it not work to just open a run box and type the url?

Send("#r")

WinWaitActive("Run")

Send("www.google.ca")

Send("{enter}")

It works for me at any rate. It might not be as elegant. but simplicity is sometimes the best way. :-)

That would work.. This would do the same, but hidden.

Run("cmd /c start www.google.com","",@SW_HIDE)

[DaleHohm]

Because the browser knows that "insert url" is NOT a url and is using Google to try to give you a clue... it obviously didn't work :-)

Put something like "http://www.autoitscript.com" in place of "insert url"

Hi, I want to go to a specific site, then goto another website and then to go back to the previous page, so I have the following :- ( I do not want to go back by using Send("!{LEFT}") because I want to understand how to use the "back" function.

The script below did not go back to the previous page. What have I missed?

Thanks

#include <IE.au3>

$first = _IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com")

WinWaitActive ("AutoIt Script Home Page - Windows Internet Explorer")

_IENavigate ($first, "www.singnet.com.sg")

WinWaitActive ("SingTel.com - Consumer - Internet - User ID: - Login as at: - Windows Internet Explorer")

$second = ("www.singnet.com.sg")

_IEAction ($second, "back")
