Simple program for website.

[Conrad]

Hello,

this is my first post, I have simply and beginners question... I want to known how to run default web browser then enter some site (http://xxx.com/ggg.php) wait a few seconds (for pre-load) and close.

Code... Very simple but this is what I create:

Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE") 
Run("C:\Program Files(x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE")
Sleep(100)
Send("{TAB}")
Send("http://xxx.com/ggg.php", 1)
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(10000)
Run("taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe /T")
Sleep(200)
Run("taskkill /F /IM first_progr.exe /T")

I choose internet explorer to do this because in many computers there is IE and location (c:\program files\...)

But there is many, many things:

Not in all computers is taskkill so it will be good other command.

Not in all computers default browser is IE so the window "Do you want make the IE default browser" and this question destroy all next instructions.

Not in all computers IE or program files are in C:\ location.

So there is several problems. :/

PS first_progr.exe is name for this progam, taskkill to be sure that the program is closed.

Instead of Run("taskkill.., there are several AutoIt functions to close/kill windows, such as ProcessClose, WinClose, WinKill or use

Send("!{F4}")

If you did some searching in this forum, you would find I had a similar question here.

Remember to search before asking.

Same new lines I wrote in my free time >_<

$DB = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet", "(Default}")
ShellExecute($DB, "http://www.autoitscript.com/")
Sleep(10)
Send("{TAB}http{SHIFTDOWN};{SHIFTUP}//xxx.com/ggg.php{ENTER}")
Sleep(15000)
WinActive("website_name","")
WinClose("website_name","")
Sleep(100)
ProcessClose("Progr_name.exe")

Thanks to Minikor

These two lines work good, but...

$DB = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet", "(Default}")
ShellExecute($DB, "http://www.autoitscript.com/")

but in systems like Vista next lines work ... hmm doesn't work

I'm talking about this line:

Send("{TAB}http{SHIFTDOWN};{SHIFTUP}//xxx.com/ggg.php{ENTER}")

Tab button works perfectly in XP switch to address line and then the script "send" www.(...) etc.

Maybe someone have other solution of this "problem" ? (I can't call IE - first post)
