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

URL GOTO not loading in new tabs in IE

Post by rnoltemy » Thu Oct 18, 2018 8:12 pm

macro basically is:

VERSION BUILD=12.0.501.6698
TAB T=1
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
URL GOTO=https://myurl1
WAIT SECONDS=2
TAB OPEN NEW
TAB T=2
URL GOTO=https://myurl2
WAIT SECONDS=2
TAB OPEN NEW
TAB T=3
URL GOTO=https://myurl3



seems to only load all three url's into tab 1

Use "TAB OPEN" and not "TAB OPEN NEW".
See https://wiki.imacros.net/TAB

Example:

Code: Select all

TAB T=1
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
URL GOTO=https://myurl1
WAIT SECONDS=2
TAB OPEN
TAB T=2
URL GOTO=https://myurl2
WAIT SECONDS=2
TAB OPEN
TAB T=3
URL GOTO=https://myurl3

Even when using "TAB OPEN NEW" - which as thecoder2012 stated is technically incorrect syntax but the extraneous NEW keyword is simply ignored by iMacros - the macro works correctly for me and opens each page in a separate tab.
