Next Tab Not Working

Post by keenan » Tue Sep 03, 2019 5:01 am

Hello,

Here is my macro:

Code: Select all

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=ID:form0 ATTR=ID:ReturnCategory CONTENT=%Cancelled
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:SavePage
TAG POS=1 TYPE=LABEL ATTR=TXT:No<SP>Longer<SP>on<SP>Client<SP>List
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:RADIO ATTR=ID:CancelledReasonId_dialog_12
TAG POS=1 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=TXT:Continue
WAIT SECONDS = 1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:controlCentreMessage
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:NewMessage
WAIT SECONDS = 2
TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=ID:form0 ATTR=ID:StandardDraft CONTENT=%10319
WAIT SECONDS = 2
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:form0 ATTR=*
WAIT SECONDS = 1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:RefreshPage
WAIT SECONDS = 4
TAB T=2
It does the first tab ok, then the second tab but at the end of the second tab cycle it just stops and won't move to tab 3.


FCI:

Code: Select all

iMacros for FF v10.0.2 (Free), FF68_x64, Win10-Pro_x64.

Stop with errormessage? Details? Where is your tab 3 in your imacros example!? System/Browser/imacros version and full example with url (or htmlcode) required for more help.

RuntimeError: element SPAN specified by TXT:Continue was not found, line: 6 (it's running this on the tab it just finished, it would find Continue on the next tab if it cycled through properly)
I have 20 tabs open, same page different info and just want the script to run on each tab
No tab 3 as i thought tab 2 / T=2 just went to the next tab naturally
win 10/firefox

It just looks like that once it gets to the second tab it's unable to cycle through the the rest of them / tab 3

I have a code with tab 3, tab 4, ect but 50 lines minimum i can't run it on 5+ tabs I'd rather 1 script with a loop that went to the next tab

CIM...! :mrgreen: (Read my Sig... and the Forum Rules...)

And "try" to select the correct Sub-Forum when you open a Thread, this one has very probably nothing specific to the 'iMacros for FF' Sub-Forum, especially if you don't even mention your FCI...!! :roll:
(But no need to duplicate now...! (Thread can be moved later...))

Yep, logical Behaviour they encounter, I think, but I'll only "elaborate" once they mention their FCI...! :wink:

Ah-ah...! :shock:
=> Nope, won't make a Difference, => Won't work...! :roll:

=> @OP: @techimac is a very "semi-semi"-Advanced User (used to be a "Semi-Advanced-User", just got "downgraded to "Semi_x2", ah-ah...!... (both = my Rankings...!)), they advertize themselves as an "Advanced" User, but keep asking fairly "stupid" and low Quality/Beginners Qt's themselves on the Forum since they joined, (while they are "supposed" to be "working" as a "Professional" iMacros Script Writer, oh jeez-yeah, poor deers!! :shock: ),
=> @OP, you can better trust me or @thecoder, if you are hoping for a Solution, ah-ah...! :wink:
(We are both very much-much more "Advanced" than User @techimac..., just saying... :| )

+ @techimac, please refrain from posting "false" Solutions... :wink:

I tried but no luck... for some reason iMarcro won't move tabs and it will just stay on tab 2... even if I try the macro on tab 9 and then it runs it on tab 10 it won't move to tab 11, just stays on 10

Yeah, but don't react, @techimac is a bit of a "fake" "Semi-x2-Advanced User"... :roll:

Yep, but I still see no Mention about 'Free' or 'PE'...?

Perfect in your OP, and as you'll "need" to edit/update it (again), preferably at the very-top op your OP...? 8)

But OK, 'Free'/'PE' won't make a Difference in Behaviour between those 2 'Free'/'PE' "Versions"..., concerning the 'TAB' Command, so I can already start giving you a "proper" Answer, you are reacting "very cooperatively" @OP, ah-ah...! :D

Then, yep, I guess you deliberately removed the "TAB T=1" that got recorded, thinking that when starting a Macro on some TAB and doing some "TAB T=2" a bit later on in your Script, + looping your Script that 'TAB_2' would then become 'TAB_1', to then switch to 'TAB_3' and 'TAB_4' etc..., but hum..., nope apparently...!! I know-I know, that was also the Behaviour I would have expected...!!

But no-no, even if you don't specify some "explicit" "TAB T=1" at the beginning your Script, or comment it out as it automatically gets recorded, iMacros still records and remembers that first TAB as being 'TAB_1'.
That's by Design, I guess, and probably needed for other possible TAB Commands like a "TAB OPEN" / "TAB CLOSE", and Web-Pages can open and close Tab-Pages from simply clicking on a Link, and iMacros won't know about it, so they really need a "Way" to "hard-code" on which "real" Tab they are starting the Macro...
(Tab Control for the Browser or for Add-ons is a bit "more powerful" than from a Web-Page, they have "Access" to some "more powerful" JS, only available to Add-ons..., but iMacros is not using it fully-fully...)

=> So OK, your "TAB T=2" at the end your Script manages to switch your Script to run again 1 Tab further, but that stops at Loop=3 because then "TAB T=2" will keep coming to the "real" 'TAB_2' in your open Tabs...

=> The Solution will be to use and compute a Var based on '!LOOP' to use for "TAB T={{!LOOP}}"... (I would think...) :idea:

And if you need in the same Run/Loop to do "Things" also on 'TAB_2' (Relative from 'TAB_1'), then you can compute your own Var based on the raw '!LOOP' for "{{!LOOP}}" for 'TAB_1' and "{{!LOOP}}+1" for 'TAB_2'... (=> Using 'EVAL()' or 'ADD'..., 'ADD' is a very "basic" Command, but can very probably "do the job" in this Case, I would think... 8) )
