Can you please test with the "SI-Run-Test.js" test script? This works well for me.

i've tried to run it (but i have an old version of it, since i don't use the demo macros) and it says it can't find "si-test-macro-1" O_o
i've put all the demo macros into a folder (and yes, si-test-macro-1 is there)

Hello,

The sample you posted sends data from a JS function.

I am trying to do this using MSACCESS and it does not work.

Set iim1 = CreateObject("iMacros")
iret = iim1.iimInit("-fx")
iret = iim1.iimDisplay("Submitting Data from MS ACCESS")
iret = iim1.iimSet("-var_NAME", "T. Test")


Is this supported???

Yes, this is supported. Please see the following example script: http://wiki.imacros.net/Database-2-Web.vbs

All you need to change is iimInit("") to iimInit("-fx")

Please let me know if the suggested solution works for you.

ok, i can explain better the problem: now i have a syntax error ("Syntax error: SET !VAR1").
If i remove the "!" charact in front of all the built-in variables (even from "SET !DATASOURCE {{!VAR1}}"), the macro works correctly, but i can't read data from the file.
i think that the last update has made a little of mess... :roll:

Hello, I'm also experiencing some problems with the latest beta... It fixed the problem using variables read from a CSV file but the following piece of code doesn't work:

Code: Select all

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=ACTION:navMaster.jsp ATTR=NAME:id CONTENT=$*{{!COL3}}*
It tells me to choose a value. {{!COL3}} should be something like "NAME<SP>HERE" since it's a drop-down form and I want to select the option "NAME HERE". When recording the macro manually it records the following line:

Code: Select all

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=ACTION:navMaster.jsp ATTR=NAME:id CONTENT=$6662
I can't select the item from the value, though, and need to choose by the displayed name. This piece of code used to work fine on previous versions of iMacros (prior to the FF3 release)

EDIT: Adding some more information: The select it is choosing the item from is like this:

Code: Select all

<select style="" name="id"><option value="6662"> NAME HERE ...  [6662]</option></select>
Using the following piece of code also didn't work:

Code: Select all

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=ACTION:navMaster.jsp ATTR=NAME:id CONTENT=$*NAME<SP>HERE*

I believe that the latest version does not support any of the following where "variable" is either a predefined variable such as "!VAR1" or a user defined variable such as from iimSet("myvariable","myvalue")...

set !DATASOURCE {{variable}}
set !DATASOURCE_LINE {{variable}}
CMDLINE !DATASOURCE {{variable}}
CMDLINE !DATASOURCE_LINE {{variable}}

Please see my posts under !DATASOURCE from command line !VAR for examples and JavaScript workaround.
