Hey guys.. Not sure if this is possible. I searched through the archives and could not find the answers, so here I am.

I would like to sort through a lot of data in a website and find AND goto a specific word. I think I can locate the text with a WinGetText function, but I am not sure how I can scroll the page down to it. The purpose for this is to aid technicians reading telecom designs that are in an engineering layout. There is a specific section that the techs need in order to build out the logical designs.

I would like for them to be able to hit F6 and have AHK find the word "Logical" and then automatically scroll the page down so that Logical is on the top of the page. This would save them from sorting through a ton of irrelevant information.

Thanks for the help..

Yuck...I hate those TridentDlgFrame boxes. I don't know if AHK can necessarily search the page itself but you could speed up the way IE searches it with AHK. For example:

I was hoping to not have to launch the typical find path, but it works well enough with your method. The only problem is that I want it to send {PgDn} after the find window is destroyed, but for some reason it won't work. Any ideas?

Is there any reason you can't do this through the browser's built-in text find feature? For instance in Firefox, you could just:

I haven't found any good way to use anything other than the built-in search for IE but this method makes it work pretty quick. Might try this:

Okay.. Your last method worked the best. I tried a combination of WinClose and some sleep values, but the WinWaitClose works most of the time. For some reason the Find window doesn't close out about 1 of 5 tries, which results in the pgdn not being sent until it's manually closed, but it's still a vast improvement over just using Alt+F5, typing it out, hitting enter, closing the window, and hitting pg dn. (That was to answer the previous query)..

Like I said, it hangs up about 20% of the time, but I can live with that.
