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,

Form Filling Without =GOTOURL ?

Post by loverdo » Mon Dec 05, 2016 10:23 pm

Hi

I understand that imacros work after you go to the URL ... filling information.

But I have some tasks that actually piece me off, and I want to automate it. But without GO TO URL

I mean .. I go to the URL by myself ... Start Recording with imacros ... filling form ... and then save the records and run it again after I go to another URL by myself

I tried, but he always forces me to go back again, because there is some file I need to upload them in every different task ...

I try to edit the script manually and remove this line:
URL GOTO=http://demo.imacros.net/Automate/TestForm1

But seems that not working either

That type of site is like Upload your File then select The CATEGORY, TYPE, Of your file

And it's very hard to choose those option every time ...


What am I'm doing wrong

And how I can get that to work

CIM...! :mrgreen: (Read my Sig...)

Yep, removing the 'URL GOTO' Statement (that gets automatically recorded when you start recording a Macro), or commenting it out (by putting a Single Quote at the complete beginning of the Statement) will make iMacros ignore it:

Code: Select all

'URL GOTO=http://demo.imacros.net/Automate/TestForm1

- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...

As said by chivracq - if you remove the GO TO URL or comment it out, then the macro will simply start executing on the page you are currently on (providing you are using the browser plugin)
Firefox free plugin, last version
