How to submit webpage forms

23 Sep 2021, 10:29

I understand I can submit whole webpage forms using AHK?
Previously you needed to use IE, now I think I'm right in saying you use Chrome and Selinium?

Can someone give me a link to look at to start me off?

I looked up AHK + Selinium... but only see an old post from Joe Glines, 4 years old.
If that's still the best one... please let me know

Thanks

Most reliable for me was to fill them out and press submit with click.

Depending on the page you can get more fancy.

Been there done that :)

Needs loads of tabbing forwards and backwards.
Then you run into problems like when you have to choose from a drop down for example.
Then, in another form, the damn button can't be tabbed to.

I've always been scared of coding it and have always done the manual method you mentioned.
Coding and using the browser is much better and easier once you have a working script.
(Well... I assume anyway!)

So... still looking for an answer to my question.
Thanks.

EDIT: What did you mean by click?
