I wrote some macros for that use multiple tabs to navigate through and enter data on a web page. They were written when I had IE 6, and after switching to IE 7 the macros are broken. The tabs operate properly when doing keyboard input manually, but the automated sequence fails. I have tried adding some delays to slow down the process in case it was a speed issue but no luck. Generally the failure point is the sequence gets stuck in the URL Address field, but tabbing manually moves past the address field without difficulty. Has anyone else encountered this issue with tabs and IE 7?

Generally COM is the best approach or inserting JS thru the address bar
the below function will activate a tab in IE7 and 8 but requires the COM standard library

For pure browser automation, consider using the open source iMacros for Firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863

There is also a version for Chrome. While promising, it is still too basic to get any real work done: http://www.iopus.com/imacros/chrome/

I aggree if you have some rediculous aversion to IE that iMacros is a supremely powerful tool
