I can't dismiss a dialog box from a web page

Post by mightycpa » Mon Nov 10, 2008 7:09 pm

Hi,

I'm running the following macro to navigate to a website, and I get stopped cold by a dialog box.

I don't know what to do, can you help? Obviously, this was recorded by WebRecorder; it also happens on subsequent pages after I login, so whatever needs to happen, I need to do it 3 times.

Code: Select all


// Generated by MacroScript WebRecorder 2.05
// Recorded on  Monday, November 10, 2008, at 12:18 PM

//Move the mouse cursor out of harm's way to avoid causing mouseover events to interrupt
MouseMove>0,0
Let>delay=1
IE_Create>0,IE[0]

IE_Navigate>%IE[0]%,ww.sportsinsights.com,r

// Problem happens right here

Label>end_script

Thanks a lot for all your help.

What dialog box? I don't get a dialog box when I visit that page.

I am very encouraged to hear that!

Is it possible that there is an IE setting, or a Web Recorder setting that is making me see this dialog and you not?

Here's where you can see what I see:

I have to dismiss the dialog before the macro can move forward.

Oh, and to be clear, I don't see it when I visit the page either... I only see it when I run the macro.

Tx,

I get a popup too, but that's because it's missing a "w" in the url

Code: Select all

IE_Navigate>%IE[0]%,ww.sportsinsights.com,r
