Help automating a webpage

[dinzing]

Hi

This is my first time trying out any Real programing so I figured I'd start with something like a macro to start and autoit seemed like the best way to make it.

Basically I need to copy two cells from excel and input them in to my company inventory web page then select the button to update the data.

Since i don't want to use any mouse movement so it can be run on a number of PC's with varied settings

I've been using "Send('{SHIFTDOWN}{TAB}{SHIFTUP}')" to select the button and am very sure its that part making it lag so I would like to have it just press the button directly tho I can't seem to get the button info using the "AutoIt Window Info" tool.

Much the same as it cant seem to see the "Google Search" button on Google.

I would also like to know if anyone can point out and good reading, demos, tuts, or beginner projects for a newbie to programing with autoit

Thank you kindly for any help

Take a look at the _IE functions

I would like to have it just press the button directly

$oIE=_IECreat("http://somesite.com")

$obutton = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "name of button")

_IEAction ($obutton, "click")
