WebRecorder

 

WebRecorder assists in the creation of scripts that control websites and web pages.  It generates code that uses some of the Web Browser Functions.

 

You can start WebRecorder either via the shortcut in the Macro Scheduler program group, or from within Macro Scheduler from the toolbar option in the Editor.

 

 

Simply use WebRecorder as you would a web browser.  As you navigate around the web page you will see code produced in the left hand code pane.

 

Once you have finished you can either save the code to a script, copy and paste it, or - if you opened WebRecorder from within the script editor simply closing it will cause the new code to be inserted into your script.

 

You can also run the code from within WebRecorder.

 

The Tag Extractor assists in creating code that pulls data out of the web page.  Start the Tag Extractor using the Tag Extractor button in the tool bar.  Then point at an element and you will see information about that element displayed.  Click Insert to insert code into the script that will extract that data at runtime.

 

WebRecorder only uses a small subset of the functions available and has to make certain assumptions which may not always be correct.  You need to be prepared to edit the code that is produced and using the other commands you have more control over how elements are identified.  See Web Browser Functions.
