WebRecorder and authentication boxes

[fthomas]

I have a quick question. I'm trying to automate functions within my cpanel console on my web hosting agent.

When I try to go to the webpage for cpanel, an authentication window opens to allow me to login.

But in webrecorder, it doesn't bring up the authentication window, it just shows a page for internet explorer stating, "This program cannot display the webpage".

Is there a way around this in webrecorder?

Or if I have to do this right in MS, how do I startup internet explore?

On a second note, how the heck do I know the name of windows or buttons in an application to select them in a script?

Thanks!

Frank.

Good day all,

Part way there. I did discover that my usage of the run command was wrong in MS. I didn't realize that it was critical to run a path command just before to start internet explorer.

So, I've created the script (partly, still working on moving the focus on the window to the address bar), and I can log in with it.

Next it would be awesome to be able to take this 'logged in' window over to webrecorder and complete the process there.

Is that possible? And if I don't find a way, is there a keyboard command to move the focus to the address bar in IE?

Thanks,

Frank
