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.

Sending form with POST method.

Post by Offer » Thu May 26, 2011 1:18 pm

Hello.

I have to go into a forex account statement site and get list of transactions from it.

The first screen is the login screen, when I type the account number and password, and press "Login" button. That's works great.

Now, I have to choose "FromDate" and "ToDate" and that's by clicking on "Calendars" on the screen. After that - there is a "Generate..." button.

There is a little Javascript code in the page source to handle the calendar controls. What I'm looking for - is to find a way to control the information sent by the POST method triggered by the "Generate..." Button, still - without success.

Thanks for any idea.

Hello Offer,

There's no way to directly manipulate what gets sent in a POST command with iMacros, but you might be able to come up with a clever way of doing it by using a URL GOTO command with some Javascript (although that is an advanced method).

Why not just use iMacros to manipulate the date fields/controls directly, just as a user would? That's what it's designed to do!
Regards,

Tom, iMacros Support
