As you want I'll do that on both
I actually care more here and I think I'll get better help here... not sure if SOF was the right place
Alright, saw that, (about adding your FCI on your Thread on SOF), perfect, Thanks...
Oh...!, btw, one more "Detail" about Text/Code Formatting on SOF, I'm not sure if you wanted to post your FCI "Block" in 1 Line, or in 2 Lines (got displayed as 1 Line), but you need to add 2x Spaces at the End of a Line for a Return to be executed within a same "Paragraph", or a Returns gets otherwise "converted" into a Space... Yep, I know the Formatting is a bit "awkward" and cumbersome on SOF, but that's "the Way it is", ah-ah...! No Comment...!

About "I actually care more here and I think I'll get better help here... not sure if SOF was the right place":
=> Well, I "monitor" and answer Threads/Qt's on both Forums/Sites, and I guess if I had "started" to answer your Qt on SOF first, you would probably "care more there", ah-ah...!
And about "not sure if SOF was the right place", well..., it is
sometimes, (or I wouldn't have gone through the "Hassle" of creating the
iMacros Tag Wiki to increase the Quality on QT's/Threads on that Site...
), but SOF is about "straightforward" Q&A Threads, which actually is "the Case" for your Scenario, as the "Solution" for your Scenario will be to apply some "straightforward" Mechanism, but I usually prefer to answer on "our" Forum, for several Reasons...:
- I find the Site completely Buggy and annoying to use, the Developers keep "experimenting" with all kinds of "new Tricks" and new "fake Technology" with some Func getting broken every 2 weeks, especially in the "older" Browsers I use myself, precisely because of their proven Reliability with Web-Automation and iMacros. Since a few days, half of the Site is now completely broken for me and doesn't work anymore in any of the Browsers I use, I can't vote anymore, I can't comment, and I can't edit, so that's a bit of a "Show-Killer", ah-ah...!
- I don't like the Reputation System on the Site and the Obligation to be "nice", I care about Quality and helping Users who really get stuck after already trying their "Best" to find a Solution by themselves, and I can "enforce" Quality much more easily on our Forum, + also from being a Mod here, I can quickly edit (or even delete) all Posts if needed, for Spam/Formatting/removing some "excessive" Quoting for Readability/(more) Descriptive Thread Title, etc..., while I usually have to wait for 2 days on SOF for some Edit to eventually/hopefully get accepted by some High-Rep User who won't know anything about iMacros...
- New Users on that Site (= 1-Rep Users like you) rarely follow up/upvote/accept Answers, or even "worse" often delete their Qt/Thread (and my Answer with it
) once they get their Answer/Solution/Script working (to prevent the "Competition" from using the same Script), which is also a "Waste" of Time and Energy for me, while "you" won't be able to delete your Thread here... (Main Reason why I "systematically" quote, even if you "mutilate" all your Posts "later", the Thread will remain "readable" and usable/useful for other Users with a similar Qt/Scenario...
- And 1 more "important" Reason is that I usually don't write "straight Answers/Solutions" like the Site "expects" and I usually don't write their Script for other Users, but rather "guide them" and "let them find the/a Solution/Implementation" by themselves, which I find more "rewarding" for those Users and they will "learn and progress" much more quickly, and "normally" after helping them maybe 3 times, they won't need my Help anymore for whatever later Func or Qt they might have in the Future...
Alright, that was a bit of a "Verbose" Explanation/Feedback, ah-ah...!

No I didn't mean that, I meant like I need to understand how conditions work in iMacros, I've read the Command_Reference, still I don't understand it (specially I'm just using iMacros extension not the software)
If this was asked exactly the same scenario I have, would you mind guiding me with this? because I've looked it up before asking
Alright, here is the "Starting Point" for you, and the Thread I was referring to "from 8 years ago"...:
-
Re: Decision Making using iMacros/Possible Workarounds
The first Solution I explained in that Post/Thread ('Relative Positioning') would be the "Solution that works in 99% of the Cases", if your Scenario was "Auto-Click button
IF/WHEN a specific text appear[s]", BUT...!, too bad...!, you want the "opposite" Scenario: "Auto-Click button
UNTIL a specific text appear[s]", so that won't work in your Case, oops...! Hum, OK, maybe I should lower my "99%" to "95%", ah-ah...!, Okay...!
Then you'll need to use the second Solution/Implementation I mentioned, => by using the `EXTRACT` Mechanism, + `EVAL()` to spit out a "2"/"0" for your "TAG POS=2 TYPE=DIV ATTR=TXT:next" to click on that "next" Button only with "POS=2", and "POS=0" won't do anything...
Alright, I let you "sweat a bit" and (try to) implement that Func yourself after you understand how the Mechanism/Principle works...
... And read the rest of the Thread, it contains much more Info, and a List of relevant Threads, all with many Examples and different Implementations of that "Technique"...
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...
