Imacros (javascript) getting variable value from custom input dialog

Post by gardin » Thu Jan 14, 2021 2:19 am

I am trying to find a way to create custom user input dialog with imacros (javascript).

However while the dialog itself could be done, say,

with javascript
Image

or jQuery
Image

No luck in getting the variable to be used "outside". It keeps saying variable is not defined, or illegal syntax (see i am trying to alert "a" variable outside)

Is there any way to get around this issue, attaining the goal? Or i am doing it wrong?

The main issue is on how to create custom modal pop up, and use the stored value inputted by user elsewhere.

Code: Select all

var html = "<div class='dbm' class='dbm' style='padding:10px;background-color:gray;color:white;top:80px;position:absolute;right:500px;border:1px solid black;z-index:1000;'><table width='100%' class='table'><tr><td>Type : </td><td><input name='tipe' checked value='1' type='radio'>&nbsp;Image <input name='tipe' value='2' type='radio'>&nbsp;File</td></tr><tr><td>Text1 : </td><td><input style='color:black !important;' value='2' type='text' class='c' /></tr><tr><td>Text2 : </td><td><input value='0' style='color:black !important;' type='text' class='d' /></tr><tr><td>Text3 : </td><td><input value='0' style='color:black !important;' type='text' class='e' /></tr><tr><td>Textarea : </td><td><textarea style='color:black !important;' class='r'></textarea></td></tr><tr><td colspan='2' align='center'><input class='btn btn-primary b1' style='color:white;background-color:orange !important' type='submit' value='Mulai' onclick=\"javascript:(function(){ var a=document.getElementsByClassName('c');a=a[0]; alert(a.value); }) ()\" /><input class='b2 btn btn-primary' onclick=\"javascript:(function(){var dbm=window.content.document.getElementsByClassName('dbm');dbm[0].innerHTML='' ; }) ()\" style='background-color:blue;color:white; !important' type='submit' value='Close' /></td></tr></table></div>";

var document=window.document;
//window.content.document.getElementsByClassName('dbm')[0].innerHTML = "";
document.body.innerHTML += (html);
alert(a);
P.S: I am using imacros 8.9.7 run in Firefox 56, Windows 7 (classic mode)

Oh, fuck it...!, shitty Site (SOF), 10 or 20 more Posts that apparently need to to be selected one by one...!

And your "PS" about your FCI is the most important Info to decide if me or any other Advanced User will react/answer (to) your Post, ah-ah...! :wink:

Oh..., good...!, and Thanks for uploading your Screenshots "directly" to the Forum..., but hum, if I/we ("we" = "Advanced Users", I'm "possibly" a part of those, ah-ah...! :twisted: ) need to see/understand your Code, I will still ask you (AGAIN :roll: ) to post it/them in Plain Text.. Images are not searchable by Search Engines, I don't answer if my Answers are not searchable... (and useful for the whole Community)... :idea:

Code: Select all

var html = "<div class='dbm' class='dbm' style='padding:10px;background-color:gray;color:white;top:80px;position:absolute;right:500px;border:1px solid black;z-index:1000;'><table width='100%' class='table'><tr><td>Type : </td><td><input name='tipe' checked value='1' type='radio'>&nbsp;Image <input name='tipe' value='2' type='radio'>&nbsp;File</td></tr><tr><td>Text1 : </td><td><input style='color:black !important;' value='2' type='text' class='c' /></tr><tr><td>Text2 : </td><td><input value='0' style='color:black !important;' type='text' class='d' /></tr><tr><td>Text3 : </td><td><input value='0' style='color:black !important;' type='text' class='e' /></tr><tr><td>Textarea : </td><td><textarea style='color:black !important;' class='r'></textarea></td></tr><tr><td colspan='2' align='center'><input class='btn btn-primary b1' style='color:white;background-color:orange !important' type='submit' value='Mulai' onclick=\"javascript:(function(){ var a=document.getElementsByClassName('c');a=a[0]; alert(a.value); }) ()\" /><input class='b2 btn btn-primary' onclick=\"javascript:(function(){var dbm=window.content.document.getElementsByClassName('dbm');dbm[0].innerHTML='' ; }) ()\" style='background-color:blue;color:white; !important' type='submit' value='Close' /></td></tr></table></div>";

var document=window.document;
//window.content.document.getElementsByClassName('dbm')[0].innerHTML = "";
document.body.innerHTML += (html);
alert(a);
I posted these code already? Or should i put without <code> tag?

Oh...!, yep indeed, that's the one I meant, I had missed it indeed, "focusing" a bit on the 2 Screenshots that had not been uploaded to the Forum like I had asked, and you had 2 Screenshots, so I expected 2 Scripts... :?

OK, I only keep your formatted Script in my Quote, but keep indeed the non-formatted "Version" in your own Post, the "var html" Declaration is "so long", that it is indeed not very easy to read from the one-Line in the formatted Script, and it's easier to read from your Post...

So OK, "now" I understand where your "a" is coming from in the (final) "alert(a)" in your Script. :D

So this is the Script you were saying:
No luck in getting the variable to be used "outside". It keeps saying variable is not defined, or illegal syntax (see i am trying to alert "a" variable outside)
... And the Runtime Error (that I have to retype) from your Screenshot is:

Code: Select all

ReferenceError: a is not defined, line 7 (Error code: -991)
Then yep..., I'm not "too surprised", the "a" is only declared and known within the "Scope" of the "html" Var, and the JS Runtime Engine doesn't know anything (anymore) at the next Line in your Script...

So what you are missing is a Mechanism to pass the Content of that "a" Var to outside of the "html" Line for the rest of the Script to be able to access it and reuse it.
=> Still in the "html" Statement, see if you can pass it to the OS Clipboard in pure JS, or you would need to append some "fake" (invisible) 'DIV' to your Popup to re-extract at some next Line either using the 'EXTRACT' Mechanism in 'iim' or in pure JS, while the Popup is still "visible".
But I reckon the Popup will be Modal, so this won't work as the Popup will have already been dismissed when your Script will try to execute the next Line after the "html" Line, ah-ah...!
Then instead of appending that 'DIV' to the Popup, you will need to inject it directly in the "main" HTML of the "Parent" Page, (still from your "html" Line), where iMacros will then be able to re-extract it.

But this is "a bit" cumbersome, ah-ah...! But your Popup Declaration is already "a bit" cumbersome, ah-ah...! Now I understand what you were meaning with "rich Content", ah-ah...! :shock:
I still find like I had told you in your Original Thread on SOF that using the iMacros 'PROMPT' Command would be much easier, I would think..., as you probably don't really need all the "fancy" Formatting in your Popup... :P
I have an Enhancement Request btw in the following Thread, => Item "5" about 'PROMPT' + 'ONPROMPT' to extend indeed a bit the whole Functionality of the 'PROMPT' Command. Feel "free" to support that EnhReq if you want, ah-ah...! 8)

But we use the same Technique to pass a Var in pure '.iim' from an "URL GOTO=javascript" Line/Statement to the rest of the Script. Let me find a Thread where this has been demonstrated... Yep, in this Thread for example, from the Post I link to and beyond, other Advanced User @thecoder2012 is much more knowledgeable than me in pure JS, then in this Thread also I think, and there should be another Thread on the Forum, from other Advanced User @iimfun, but I can seem to be able to locate it easily...

OK, good-good..., but hum..., could you share your "Final" Script...?, I don't exactly understand what you mean by "That was simple-but-works solution", and that would make the Thread also pretty useful for other Users... 8)

Well, i don't have any "final" script since i am just curious how to get it done, so what i provide was simply dummy code
I am sure your previous answer already covers them all - create "fake" modal popup, and then extract using imacros EXTRACT command
Again elegant solution!

Hi again @chivracq

I am now trying to scrape all members in group (say this https://t.me/bisniss). However it only shown 200 member (in attached screenshot its shown 400, but every user have two selector).
Is there any way to get around this limitation and scrape all?

I posted this question earlier in SO, but in less than an hour got downvoted a lot for no reason and eventually closed for "needed clarity".

I am expecting solution like in this python thread,
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/658 ... javascript
Telegram has a server-side limit of only collecting the first 200 participants of a group. From what I see, you can use the iter_participants function with aggressive = True to subvert this problem

Yeah OK, but open a new (Standalone) Thread, (=> in the 'Data Extraction' Sub-Forum I would think, from "... trying to scrape all members in group..."), this Follow-Up Qt has nothing to do with the "Subject" of this current Thread I would think... :idea:
(... For me to have a look... :idea: )

"...in less than an hour got downvoted a lot for no reason and eventually closed for "needed clarity"..."
=> Yeah hum, means "Low Quality" to me, possibly Legit, possibly "wrong", but I can't "judge" because you've apparently already deleted the Thread/Qt yourself, ah-ah...! :( :o , meaning you agreed "a bit" with those (-1) Quality Rep-Pts... :|

I didn't even get a Notif about your New Qt on SOF, meaning also you probably tagged it incorrectly, which is indeed a "Show-Killer" if you don't select the correct Tags..., as you either don't reach the "correct" Specialists, or irritate the "wrong" ones... :idea:

Well. I have no idea at all why got downvoted, but yes i did deleted it since it seems just getting worse (-3 will obviously trigger others, even without single one to address the problem)

Yep, not surprised, 5 Tags is "too much" for SOF, only "looking for Pb's", ah-ah...!
=> 'jquery' Tag is being watched by 411,000+ Users, ah-ah...!, you pissed them all off, ah-ah...!, be happy if you get less than 40,000 x (-1), ah-ah...!! :roll:
