I don't understand the question.

There are various things you can do with websites, not necessarily limited to:

1. Open one in the default browser:
ExecuteFile>http://www.mjtnet.com/

1.5 Open it in any chosen browser:
Run>"c:\...\firefox.exe" "http://www.mjtnet.com"

2. Do an HTTP request to download a page to a variable or file:
HTTPRequest>http://www.mjtnet.com,.......

3. Automate it via WebRecorder produced code

4. Automate it via VBScript (see the "Simple Web Auto" sample script and/or search the forums for "InternetExplorer.Application").

Thanks Marcus

1 is good ; I didn't think it possible !

One little suggestion :

ADD IT

ExecuteFile>file_to_execute[,parameters]



Executes a file using the application associated with the given file's filetype.



file_to_execute can include a full path.



Abbreviation : Exe

See also : RunProgram



Example



ExecuteFile>report.doc



or



Let>filename=c:\my documents\accounts.xls

ExecuteFile>filename

or

ExecuteFile>http://www.mjtnet.com/
