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,

User feedback without scripts

Post by Hannes, Tech Support » Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:47 am

Using scripts, you have both, the iimDisplay() method and your scripting language's abilities to tell the user what is happening, or what he should do next.

In case you want to work with macros alone, here's three ideas:

1) Use the PROMPT command:

Code: Select all

PROMPT Watch<SP>the<SP>form! !VAR1 (Click<SP>OK<SP>to<SP>continue) 
2) Use the (unofficial, as of v6.11) STATUSBAR command which displays up to three strings in the browser window status bar

Code: Select all

STATUSBAR Hello<SP>there! nothing nothing -
3) Make the website give feedback like e.g. in the "Demo-Filter" macro: http://wiki.imacros.net/Demo-Filter
