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

"iMacros supports all of the features of JavaScript," yadda yadda yadda. NOT. A macro using document.cookie to store variables fails.

In case it helps anyone ... If you try to use

document.cookie = ...

to set a cookie on the webpage in your browser window from within a .js iMacro, this does *not* work as you might hope.

The 'document' object when you are in the iMacro, is an XUL object *not* the HTML document in the browser window.

Attempting things like moving variable values between the webpage and the .js iMacro using cookies as storage will not work.

I'm subscribed to this thread, so please tell me if the above has mistakes or if there is a way of getting it to work!

I would also be interested to hear anyone else's tricks that do/don't work :)

Cheers.

I know that "document" in iMacros doesn't refer to the page, but I get your point and I'm going to restate the statement. When trying to use "document.cookie" in iMacros you receive a "document.cookie is undefined" error.

I know that this is a old topic but is there any fix for this yet(or workaround)?
