Hello Michael, Glad it helped. What do you mean with "Saving and reloading is not really a drawback anymore" ? After coding a JavaScript Macro it's true you have to reload the page to make the core load the core. After that, you don't need to reload again unless you made changes to the macro. If you code some good macros, don't forget sharing them! ;)
