can we use java scripting in imacros for IE

Post by pratiksha27.jain » Wed Mar 28, 2018 1:31 pm

Hi,
is there a way to use java scripting in imacros for IE?

I have a constrain of using IE only and need to loop certain part of scripting along with csv data source.

Is this possible to use with IE by any chance?


Thanks.

See https://wiki.imacros.net/Web_Scripting and Is it possible to execute javascript with imacros for IE ?

Examples and tries from you are very helpful.

I think not really. Limited with EVAL, maybe. Full javscript support has only Firefox (max. v55) with iMacros (e.g. v8.9.7).
Join 9kw.eu Captcha Service now and let your iMacros continue downloads and scripts while you sleep. - Custom iMacros? Contact me! :idea:

Yeah, well, it is completely possible, but it remains "Workaround on Workaround" indeed, the "Standard"/Official Way is indeed using a '.js' Script on FF or the Scripting Interface...

But I use myself different Tricks and Techniques to loop only part(s) of my ('.iim', I only use '.iim', even if I'm on FF) Scripts, to "mute" complete Sections of my Scripts, by for example sending the Macro to a "Fake" Tab where the Script won't do anything, or by dynamically switching "in block" several 'TAG POS=n' Statements to "0", some of which can be "cascading", for Macros (conditionally) calling each other, deciding by themselves if they have to loop and how many times, etc... :twisted:
So it's "possible" in pure '.iim' and therefore for IE (or CR), but tja..., it remains a Creative "Workaround on Workaround" Approach, ah-ah...! :wink:

But hum-tja-hum...!, 5 years ago, I was the only one doing (all my) Conditional Logic in pure '.iim', and it staid "like that" for 2 or 3 years, while now maybe 30%-40% of the Threads/Scripts related to Conditional Behaviour I see on the Forum do use one or several Techniques I was for several years the only one to use (and to "advertize"), and all Advanced Users on the Forum (+SOF) now master those Techniques as well, and probably better than me by now, ah-ah...! 8)
(As several still rely on JS for which I'm just a Newbie-Newbie User myself and of which I only use a few "Basic" Commands... I used 'slice()' for the first time ever last night, ah-ah...! Even if I finally went for an "easier"/shorter Solution in the end in that Case by (re)converting a 3D Array (back) to a String..., as String Operations seem to happen quicker than Array Operations as well, and I need Speed... Hum, need to finish that Script btw...) 8)
