Autofill a web page

2015-07-09 Thread Peter Haworth
I am currently filling out a form several times a day to report aircraft noise incidents. The form requires me to complete a number of fields that end up with the same value every time with others that are specific to each instance of the form. Would it be possible for me to write a Livecode

can't select text of field with traversalOn and lockText set to true

2015-07-09 Thread Dr. Hawkins
According to the dictionary, If a field's traversalOn and lockText properties are both set to true, the user can select text, but not change it, and can scroll within the field using the keyboard. However, I have a pair of fields with these set to true where I can't select the text . Could this

Thanks Devin. I was meaning I wanted to do this in a Livecode app so sounds like there is hope. I will check out the links you sent. Another complication is that the form includes a Captcha code so that will have to be supplied manually. Off topic, but am I the only one that finds the majority

Right, I've seen several variations of the captcha images including the one you mentioned. I've also seen a variation where you're required to supply the answer to a simple math question. Maybe it's my tired old eyes but anything would be better than the blurry images! On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at

Yes, I seem to remember the result was time sensitive too and that it worked OK when stepping through with debug, which also extends the time between operations of course. Only difference is that I have experienced this off and on over several years whereas it seems your script has worked OK

I'm not sure, I use FireFox. It remembers most things but there is also a plugin for FF that lets you set up autofill for any field containing any type of content. I see a couple of similar extensions in the Chrome store, maybe one of those would work? On 7/9/2015 1:23 PM, Peter Haworth

My initial thought on this was to render the web page URL in an LC browser object, fill in the form's fields with some sort of LC scripting, and send a mouse click action to the form's Submit button. Is that impractical? On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 10:25 AM Devin Asay devin_a...@byu.edu wrote: On

It's not a LiveCode solution, but most browsers have an auto fill feature. You could add the field names to your profile and have the browser fill them in for you. On July 9, 2015 12:29:25 PM CDT, Peter Haworth p...@lcsql.com wrote: My initial thought on this was to render the web page URL in
