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,

Try this
URL GOTO=javascript:window.scrollBy(0,5000)
edit the number 5000 to scroll for your needs
VERSION BUILD=8820413 RECORDER=FX, WIN7 64-bit SK, Pale Moon 25.8.1(x86)

your code is incomplete js code that gives an error, but I already have that code in my script and it has no effect on the page anymore, it used to work a year or two ago:



Code: Select all

ret=iimPlay("code:URL GOTO=javascript:window.scrollBy(0,20000000)\nwait seconds=2");
the above is complete code, but it has no effect on actually scrolling down the page

I've also just tried the expiremental mode with keypressing page down and ctrl+end

simulates ctrl+end keypress:

Code: Select all

EVENT TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="HTML>BODY" KEY=35 MODIFIERS="ctrl"




simulates page down keypress:

Code: Select all

EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="HTML>BODY" KEYS="[34]"


none of the above works to scroll down, so I'm still looking for a way to scroll down a page

Cobra99's Code works, I use it everyday (since years) and just right now (I have a Script running 24/7 on a 2nd Screen) and it works...

But mention your FCI please when you open a Thread..., I don't do any Digging when FCI is not mentioned...
- (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...

put this in your browser console and hit enter

Code: Select all

setInterval(function() { window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight); }, 2000);
