webrecorder and MS

Please,

I have webrecorder opening and authenticating me to my cpanel account on the net through internet explorer.

I've had it navigate me to the page showing my domains and subdomains. How would I now continue programming from MS and read the elements on the HTML page to record information and continue to navigate via MS to other pages?

Thanks

Frank

I may not have understood you fully, so I'm not sure if this will answer your question, but what I do is this:

- Fire up WebRecorder
- Use WebRecorder like a web browser.
- Get to the point where you want to record from
- Insert a comment.
- Continue recording the bit you want to record.
- When done save the script produced
- Open up the script produced
- Copy from the comment onwards and paste that into your Macro Scheduler script.
- You may need to modify the IE handle (IE[0]) if it is different from the one used in your existing script.

You can use the ExtractTag function to extract elements from the page. You can use the Extract Tag Wizard to help you. Once you've done it for one element it's pretty easy to just copy the code and edit manually for another. You can extract the whole page to a variable by specifying the BODY tag.
