Entering data in Web Pages

Post by komobu » 06 Oct 2022, 08:42

Hello. I came up with this little code that when run in note pad or windows runs just fine and displays the desired text.

Code: Select all

^e::
send, 2739 {Tab}

return
When I run this in a web page input field, no text is entered. What do I need to do? The web page has 12 input fields and I am trying to get AHK to enter the data for me. Next issue I'm having is the Tab. I can press tab on my keyboard and it advances to the next entry just fine. If i run it in word, it tabs just fine. On the webpage I get nothing happening at all.

Thanks for any help

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!

It's possibly an "elevated" program, or may be a page, site, application, plugin, add-on, etc. with its own set of hotkeys-- "blocking" or interfering with yours. There could be other possibilities. One idea is to try a hotstring, or a different hotkey, after disabling all add-ons and hotkeys in the program itself.

Code: Select all

^F2 Up::Send test

Thanks. I got on the the discord and was told to Right Click on the AHK file and Run as Administrator. When I did that it worked fine.
