USING WINCLICK and TAG in the same macro file

Post by im_newbie » Fri Oct 21, 2005 2:04 pm

Just trying to make sure I understand something crystal clear.

If you start off using TAG during your record sessions and then switch to WINCLICK in the middle of the way, you can't go back to using TAG again correct?

The reason I ask is because I have a page where I use tag to fill in some input fields then switch to WINCLICK mid-way to fill in a browse for file field (suggested workaround for file upload issues) and then at the end have a submit button which brings up a dialog button that asks if I'm sure if I want to do this.

I know ONDIALOG followed by a TAG works to close dialog boxes where there are no previous instances of WINCLICK but I haven't had luck getting the scenario of ONDIALOG followed by a TAG where WINCLICK was used a couple lines to work. Any thoughts?

You can always switch back from WINCLICK clickmode to any other clickmode during recording. WINCLICK and TAG commands can be mixed with no restrictions!

Can you post the URL of the web page and/or the Internet macro that creates the problem? This would allow me to quickly re-create the issue on our test systems.

Unfortunately it's a secure Verisign site that requires a key.

Let me try that out again and see if anything changes.

Also for a dialog box that pops up as a result of a click on another button, is the syntax to always have the ONDIALOG come before the clicking of the button via TAG?
