I am Evaluating WebRecorder

Post by Eugi » Sat Jul 11, 2009 7:38 pm

Hello all,

I am evalusting WebRecorder for automating our daily task of checking our Web site.

After recording and save the script, the main page load and nothing else happen.

Here the script

Code: Select all

[b]// Generated by MacroScript WebRecorder 2.1
// Recorded on samedi, juillet 11, 2009, at 01:32 PM

//Move the mouse cursor out of harm's way to avoid causing mouseover events to interrupt

The error message is coming from the web page. You can tell WebRecorder to ignore such errors with Tools/Ignore Browser Dialogs.

There is a lot of dynamic content in the web page you are trying to record and it could be that not all of it can be recorded, especially where there are ActiveX controls etc. Stuff that is dynamically generated by client side scripting can also be problematic. You may need to use some other techniques such as image recognition and plain old key/mouse simulation in order to manipulate these objects.
