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.

Extracting TAGX and TAGY

Post by el_pablo » Tue Dec 09, 2008 10:46 pm

How can I extract the position of an HTML element? I want to do so, because I have an AJAX issue. The only way to know that if a page finished loading is with the position of a button.

I'm working in c#.

Thanx

ADD !EXTRACT {{!TAGX}}
ADD !EXTRACT {{!TAGY}}
In the code please use:

i = iim1.iimPlay ("macro name")

Hi techimac,

There currently is no equivalent for !TAGX or !TAGY in iMacros for Firefox or Chrome.
