iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Target text html area in eBay.

Post by Keybit » Wed Jan 08, 2020 9:05 pm

My info..
iMacros for FF v10.0.2 'Personal Edition', FF v70.0.1, Win10_x64_ENG.

My Problem..
Target text html area in eBay.

How to replicate the issue (you will need an ebay.co.uk selling account)..
1) go to ebay.co.uk
2) log in
3) create a new listing
4) on the new listing page for "item description" click "html"
5) paste data into the html box

Step 5 is where I am stuck as when recording nothing gets captured!

This should work:

Code: Select all

FRAME NAME="v4-19txtEdit_ht"
EVENT TYPE=CLICK SELECTOR="HTML" BUTTON=0
EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="HTML>BODY" CHARS="Your description goes here"

Nope..., at least not in @OP's FCI, as the 'EVENT' Mode is not supported (anymore/yet) in v10.0.2 for FF... :(

But they could "switch" to v10.0.5 for CR where the 'EVENT' Mode is supported... :idea:
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...

You are right, he is using a really old Firefox version, better to move to the 53 version (previous to the Quantum Firefox) or @OP will find that some websites won't even open with such old Firefox version

No-no, you are a bit confused, @OP is using FF70, which is/was the current/latest Version for FF about 2 months ago, current Version "now" (March 2020) is FF73, and since FF57, only iMacros for FF v10.0.2 works on those FF Versions...

Then about FF53, yep you're right, I recommend FF v55.0.3 for which they can use iMacros for FF v8.9.7 which is still/was the most "powerful" Version to use and that most "Advanced" Users still use, ... and I reckon is probably the Version you are also using yourself... :wink:

(And '!TIMEOUT_TAG' has been deprecated for about 8 years now, btw...! :P )
