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

SyntaxError: wrong format of URL command, line 3 (Error code: -910),

VERSION BUILD=8820413 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=https://polldaddy.com/poll/8336485/AG POS=1 TYPE=LABEL ATTR=TXT:Staples<SP>Boys<SP>Cross<SP>Country

I've asked many people and they don't know what is wrong with the third line. Any help would be appreciated

Hi cteran224

Did you try to put the URL (https://polldaddy.com/poll/8336485/AG POS=1 TYPE=LABEL ATTR=TXT:Staples<SP>Boys<SP>Cross<SP>Country) you are using in your URL GOTO command in a browser to test its validity ?
It really seems that you have a piece of a TAG command at the end of it.

I've nothing to do with that, but I'm not sure it is a great idea to use iMacros to distort a poll.

Skippyto.

FCIM...! :mrgreen:

I don't know what those "many people" are that you asked, but I guess they didn't want to offend you as your Problem is obvious...: You cannot do a proper Select&Copy&Paste and you squeezed 2 Lines of Code into one...

I would agree with 'skippyto' about using iMacros to fake-vote on a Poll, but the Content of that specific Poll is so stupidly hilarious that using iMacros should actually be mandatory for that kind of fun...! And the Site should anyway check and record at least the IP Address of the Voter to prevent Cheating...
- (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...
