Hallo,

I try a relative positioning on the following website.

FCI mentioned, very good, but 'Free'/'PE' is still missing...

Your Thread though has very probably nothing specific to the 'iMacros for CR' Sub-Forum or you should mention in which other Version(s)/FCI(s) you've also tested where your Script works but fails only in CR. (Correct Sub-Forum would have been the 'General' one, but no need to duplicate now...)

OK, I was able to have a look at your Script and Site, and using 'Relative Positioning' if the Elements on the Page have Dynamic Names and/or ID's looks like the correct way to go, very good...!
Then OK, the following Script, which uses 'Relative Positioning' in a little bit more "reliable" way than you were attempting, seems to work fine for me...:

Code: Select all

(Tested on iMacros for FF v8.8.2, PM v26.3.3 (=FF47), Win10_x64.)

Notice that instead of using only 1 Anchor and making all 5 other 'INPUT' Fields relative to the 1st one, I each time use their corresponding 'LABEL' Element as Anchor.
I only handled the first 3 ones, I let you do the rest with the next Sections...

I use the Free Edition in Chrome.

it's a very good idea. Thank you very much!

OK for FCI, 'Free'/'PE' didn't really play a role in this one, even if I would have had a better "Implementation" if I had known if you were using the 'PE' Version...

Hum, "good idea", tja...!, I only mention "Best Practices", then of course everything I mention/post is "a good idea"... I would rather have expected you to test my Script and to confirm that it also works for you, and for you to post your Final Script... But OK, I reckon it works and you understood the Principle...

I forgot to write that. Sorry. I tested your script and it works very well.

I learned from it. I wrote the script for another website with the relative positioning where I encountered the same problems.

Please tell me about the alternative possibilities of the PE version. That seems interesting.

Ah OK, good to hear, and Thanks for the "Feedback" then...

Well, about "alternative possibilities of the PE version", I used 3 times your "i_use_imacros" Pseudo in the Script I wrote for the first 3 Input Fields, that I hard-coded 3 times in the Script. Had you been using the 'PE' Version, I would then have declared this String as a Var.
But the 'Free' Version only supports using 3 Vars, so you better "save" your Vars if you can only use 3...! (even if you can't squeeze that many Vars in just 50 Lines...!, which is another Limitation for the 'Free' Version...)
And User-defined Vars are also not supported in the 'Free' Version while I consider calling all Vars in a Script "!VARn" not a "Best Practice"...

[i_use_imacros]

Many thanks for the insight into the alternative.

I learned a lot. Thanks a lot.

Yep, you're welcome...
