saving web page

Post by jheyman » Fri Mar 09, 2007 5:31 pm

i am new to Macro Scheduler. I want to log into a secure website, select some options on a webpage, and then save the resulting webpage as a file. I need to redo this several times for different accounts. What is the best way to do this? I tried using the Webrecorder, but that looks like it only takes me so far. I don't see how i would make HTTPRequest work since i have to input several parameters first before i get to the web page that i want to save. Do i have options other than using sendkeys to view the source page?

You dont even need webrecorder... just write a macro that reads your username and info out of a text file. and since you know the position of login on your screen it shouldnt be to hard.

"Other than using sendkeys" ... yeah. I found some nice examples and info in the scripts'n'tips page.

If you need help with any of the methods or routines - just post and you're likely to get a response.
