DNS Macros with Firefox
Submitted by Eliana on Sun, 12/09/2007 - 17:13.
Greetings, I would like to ask for advice on how best to use DNS Pro Scripting with Firefox.
Its mouseless browsing extension makes it my preferred browser.
What is the best way to call up Firefox websites within DNS scripting?
Would it be the AppBringUp command, followed by Ctrl-L, then SendKeys for the URL, and ControlPick of the go button?
Also, how does one do a SendKeys of a return key in advanced scripting? Larry Allen's book says that this cannot be done, but perhaps there is a way to do it?
Thank you again,
Eliana
If you are a current
If you
are a current KnowBrainer 2006 client, KnowBrainer 2007 (a free
upgrade) is due to be released around Christmas time and already includes full
support for Firefox. KnowBrainer includes an Advanced-Scripting
listing end-user editable command that you can edit slightly to take you to any
website.
Although
your ControlPick concept should work, a more bulletproof solution would be to
strike the {Enter} Key since it is already the default setting. ControlPick has
a tendency to misfire and this will also answer your last question. This JPEG is a simple way to write a command to go to the KnowBrainer forum but our preference
would be to build an Advanced-Scripting listing command so that you can combine
all of your web addresses into a single command and you might even consider
making the command global, as we did in KnowBrainer, so you can go to any
website from within any program. Please note the {Ctrl+l} is
actually Ctrl + L rather than Ctrl + 1 (one).

Return Key
If you mean the key that is labeled Enter, the simplest way to invoke it is:
SendKeys "~"
You could use that instead of ControlPick. Other than that, yes, you are on the right track.
Thanks
Thanks for the tips about writing the macro and entering the return key in scripting.
I'm also glad to hear about the KnowBrainer update. I do use it as well.
