Help needed with Webrecorder - Beginner

Post by aqua267 » Fri Feb 04, 2011 10:25 pm

I am new to using the Webrecorder tool. I am trying to record the following:
Open Yahoo.com
Search hello World
Click Web search
Exit the screen.

I am doing this in IE. However the script does not record the button click (I don't see a ClickTag or anything like that in the script generated). Is tehre any other setting that needs to be set? Here's the code.

TIA!

Get the new Version of web recorder and record it again

Post by olllllliii » Sat Feb 05, 2011 10:41 am

1. download the newest Web-recorder V2.5 dll ver 2.0.9

2. first put the dll file shipped with web-recorder IEauto.dll to your scripting
directory
3. include folowing line at first position of your script before you press
the web recorder script in macro scheduler

LibLoad>%SCRIPT_DIR%\IEAuto.dll,hIE

try using web recorder 2.5 ( with the old web recorder you have the problem that some fields or click buttons are not recognized ) .

4. Record it again ! In some cases you have to insert some mousemove
and click commands normally ( but yahoo.com works perfect without
if you click each input field before you type somthing into it .

5. if the browser opens not maximized you can add folowing line to your
script

WindowAction>1,youractualwindowbrowsertitle

My Script looks like this

//Set IGNORESPACES to 1 to force script interpreter to ignore spaces.
//If using IGNORESPACES quote strings in {" ... "}
//Let>IGNORESPACES=1
LibLoad>%SCRIPT_DIR%\IEAuto.dll,hIE
