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,
The Progress Team

imacros with jquery and ajax

Post by Shoop » Thu May 07, 2015 12:47 pm

can imacros play jquery and ajax code if it is found in their .js file? or will it return an error?

also u can call a macro in a javascript. but can u call javascript in macro? (like the reverse of retcode/iimPlay)

edit: not working

Code: Select all

njuskalo=new XMLHttpRequest();

njuskalo.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (njuskalo.readyState == 4) {
        console.log(njuskalo.responseText);
    }
}

njuskalo.open("GET","http://www.njuskalo.hr/usb-memorija/mem-ufd-8gb-jf300-ts-oglas-15090605");
njuskalo.send();
the code does not work with imacros, while on http://jsfiddle.net/ks037hxm/1/ it works without problems. that answers my questions up on top.
hopefully the imacros staff can start to implement the XMLHttpRequest and other constantsinto the imacros, which could be rly usefull when CORS becomes a standard. or atleast add it to standard/enterprise edition or smthing. hope u guys can bring it up with the dev team. if u need more info why i might need it feel free to ask.

Yes, it's totally possible.
Load the constructor with the const XMLHttpRequest.
To make multiple HTTP requests, you have to push them in an array.

I made a function to do it...

Code: Select all

	const XMLHttpRequest = Components.Constructor("@mozilla.org/xmlextras/xmlhttprequest;1");

	var xhr = new Array(); // ARRAY OF XML-HTTP REQUESTS
	var xi = new Array(0); // ARRAY OF XML-HTTP REQUEST INDEXES
	xi[0] = 1; // FIRST INDEX SET TO 1 MAKING IT AVAILABLE

	function xhrRequest(type) {
		if (!type) {type = 'html';}

		// xhrsend IS THE xi POSITION THAT GETS PASSED BACK
		// INITIALIZED TO THE LENGTH OF THE ARRAY(LAST POSITION + 1)
		// IN CASE A FREE RESOURCE ISN'T FOUND IN THE LOOP
		var xhrsend = xi.length;

		// GO THROUGH AVAILABLE xi VALUES
		for (var i=0; i<xi.length; i++) {
			// IF IT'S 1 (AVAILABLE), ALLOCATE IT FOR USE AND BREAK
			if (xi[i] == 1) {
				xi[i] = 0;
				xhrsend = i;
				break;
			}
		}
		// SET TO 0 SINCE IT'S NOW ALLOCATED FOR USE
		xi[xhrsend] = 0;

		// SET UP THE REQUEST
		if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
			xhr[xhrsend] = new XMLHttpRequest();
			if (xhr[xhrsend].overrideMimeType) {
				xhr[xhrsend].overrideMimeType('text/' + type);
			}
		}
		else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
			try {
				xhr[xhrsend] = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
			} 
			catch (e) {if(log) log.erro(e);
				try {
					xhr[xhrsend] = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
				} catch (e) {if(log) log.erro(e);}
			}
		} 
		 
		return (xhrsend);
	 }
	 
	 function ajax(opcoes){
		try{
			var set = {
				method : 'GET',//padrão

	 //THEN USE IT SENDIND A OBJECT, LIKE THIS
