I am wonderinng how to get it to click on specific text in a website. I've had it working great by just using position, but recently they have been changing things around so stuff is always just a hair off. It would be nice if i could get it to recognize the link i need. This is what i have right now:

Do you know that sending {Tab} to Internet Explorer (or Firefox) allows you to navigate from link to link? (or to next form control)
You can click near the target link to go faster.
And send {Enter} to activate the link.

Assuming the urls aren't changing, why not just Run the desired link? You won't need to worry about the position changing, or any race issues from ill-timed key sending.

the link runs a report and it has to be clicked on. i tried the earlier reply about using tab and that works for most of my problem, but the main part is still a problem. Tab only selects the box that this group of links is in. As far as going to the link directly, it is a pretty secure site. all attempts at inner sites are redirected to the initial log in.
