Firefox is made up of only a few controls: one for each tab, and one for the menu bar area. Because of this, commands that use specific controls like ControlFocus, ControlGet, etc. will not really work.
So basically, you'll have to just click it or tab to it. |

| In addition to what Krogdor said you can also send Ctrl+K to Firefox to focus on search field. |

there are other ways to do it. search the forum for using javascript to set focus. or, look at iMacros for firefox.

At a guess, I'd say that you might be creating a script to beat a paid to search scheme. If I'm right, let me know in this thread, I may already have an app that does that effectively.
Anyway, seeing as you want to focus on a search within a page, I'm assuming you want the script to make a search 
By looking at the source code for that page, you can determine the URL for the search, and then type that URL directly into the address bar and use it.
For example, Google (UK) source code is:
| Code: | <form action="/search" name="f">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
<td width="25%">
</td>
<td align="center" nowrap="nowrap">
<input name="hl" value="en" type="hidden">
<input autocomplete="off" maxlength="2048" name="q" size="55" title="Google Search" value="">
<br><input name="btnG" value="Google Search" type="submit"> |
(I've broken that down into separate lines for readability)
The two red parts are what your main focus needs to be on.
The form action tells you the url of the search script.
The name="q" tells you what variable the search term is stored under.
From that, you can create the url:
Now, you can run that URL directly through AHK if you want. Of course, if you are trying to beat a paid to search scheme, you will also have to look for where to put your User ID in the URL, and need to have a referrer and a click through, otherwise your script will be detected.
Hope that helps,
Adzie |
