The way I read the Help file, these 2 lines of code do the same thing.
(There's a space after "Send>" even though it may not appear.)
However, in my macro, the second line will not accomplish what the first line does. Am I reading it right?

What do you want ASCII>32 to accomplish? Sending either to notepad gives me a space. Hard to diagnose without knowing what is failing.

The code is supposed to click the browse box. "Send> " works but "Ascii>32" doesn't.
Code: Select all
IEGetFromURL>tinypic.com,myIERef
IEGetTags>tinypic.com,INPUT,O,tags
Let>pos=0
Let>kTag=0
While>pos=0
Add>kTag,1
Let>tag=tags_%kTag%
Pos>name=the_file,tag,1,pos
EndWhile
// Focus the Browse button and press the space bar.
IETagEvent>tinypic.com,INPUT,kTag,focus,
//IEWait>myIERef
SetFocus>TinyPic*
Send>
//Ascii>32

I confirm the original post, ASCII>32 doesn't act on a window the same as Send>{invisible space} does. (For instance hitting space on this forum in IE will move down the page.)
Send>%SPACE% does work for me.

OK. Ty for "Send>%SPACE%". I wasn't aware that option existed. Much appreciated!

You could also do:
Send>{" "}
Or just
Send>_
(Replacing _ with a space)
