Why do you need the TAB button? Maybe I can suggest a workaround.

Its for craigslist. I do a lot of posting and reposting and i use imacro to do the reposting. All goes well until the part before entering the captcha. Since all my post are different sizes i cannot make imacro select the "continue" button at the end. Its always in different position(X,Y Value). So i found out if i press the "Tab" button once it goes straight to the "continue" button. All i need now is to press enter and im done. And theres the problem imacro doesnt record it. If you know another way please tell me thanks.

WIldcards and a Prompt Command are what you need. THis works for posting to the barter section of Washington DC but you can switch it up to your needs.

Thanks for code, could use it later. But I dont have problem with this. My problem is when I want to repost my posts. I cannot click the "Continue" button which leads you to the Captcha. Reason I cannot click it is because each of my posts end up different sizes, therefore the "continue" button is always at different spots. One way I found out in order to click it is to press "tab" then "enter". Cant do that because it will not record it. Thanks for the help.

Positional clicks shoudl really only be used as a very last resort for this reason. Is there not some recording you can make other than a direct 2 screen command? In the script above there are 3 lines that all click continue:
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:/wdc/S/bar/mld/x/* ATTR=NAME:*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:/wdc/S/bar/mld/x/* ATTR=NAME:*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:/wdc/S/bar/mld/x/* ATTR=NAME:*
I had to edit them a bit because of the way CL tries to prevent automation but Iopus is so robust it is able to handle their countermeasures.
