click area moves sometime

[prandolph]

I am using WS Pro to automate web navigation. There is one page I reach where the item I am clicking on will move down by 50 pixels, so the script will click on the wrong item. Is there any way to adjust for this ? At some point after this, if the script runs correctly, I will get a window with a specific title. I was thinking that I could test after some time if this window does not exist, then try clicking 50 pixels away.

Thanks,
Phil

Hello Phil,

There are a couple of way to get around that problem.

Option 1:

Can you use keyboard for e.g. TAB and ENTER keys to get to that link that you are clicking, as opposed to using the mouse clicks? In that case it will always work correctly even if it moves around.

Option 2:

I recommend you to try our advanced automation software, Automation Anywhere 4.0. It has a very powerful Web Recorder feature that understands all the controls of Internet Explorer page and it finds them and clicks on them even if they move around in the web page.

You can download the trial version from http://www.tethyssolutions.com/all-a...e-versions.htm

If you have already purchased Workspace Macro Pro, an upgrade is also available for purchase from http://www.tethyssolutions.com/wmp-upgrade.htm

Hope that helps.
