move mouse to a particular piece of text on a webpage?

[DavidTunnell]

Is it possible to move the mouse cursor to hover over a particular work that is on a webpage? I don't want to use coordinates because I am creating a script that multiple people will use with various resoultions / number of monitors.

Sure, use _IEPropertyGet() like this:

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IE_Example("basic")
Local $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
Local $iNumLinks = @extended
MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found")
For $oLink In $oLinks
    MouseMove(_IEPropertyGet($oLink, "screenx") + (_IEPropertyGet($oLink, "width") / 2), _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "screeny") + (_IEPropertyGet($oLink, "height") / 2), 0)
    MsgBox(0, "Link Info", "Moved mouse to center of link with URL:" & @CRLF & $oLink.href)
Next

IS it possible in Chrome? The web application I am using does not run correctly in IE.

I'm not sure.  There may be a plugin of some kind that opens a com object for chrome.  Search the forum for chrome automation.

Besides that, you could use pixels/image searching, but that's a bit sloppy compared to working directly with the browser.  IIRC there are some posts around here about Chrome automation.
