Reading Updating Text Area without using Internet Explorer


Recommended Posts

Hi Autoit Experts,

I have this requirement where I would like to read from Text Area and later update the Text Area and all this while I have only been able to do it using the IE functions _IEPropertyGet and _IEPropertySet. Is there a way I can achieve the same functionality without having to depend on IE. Reason is that we would have to run our code on Apple Mac books as well.

Thanks upfront.

Suan.

Hi Trancexx,

Thanks for the response. Assuming that, there will be no Windows on the Mac, would you recommend what would be the alternatives.

For eg. is there a script similar to Autoit which is independent of the OS? Need your suggestions.

Hi JohnOne,

I am interested in a scripting language which can run both on Windows PC and Macbooks. We would be developing on using Windows systems and then ultimate users should be able to run it using Macbooks or Windows PCs.

Any thoughts?

Saun.

So, do you mean that, any AutoIt will not run on Macbooks? For example, let say my code does not reference any IE functions and wherever it requires one, will use the Chrome functions. And I deploy my code and created an executable file. Will this file run on Macbooks??

Regards,
Suan.

No, it won't work on Macs, at least a Mac running OSX, it's as simple as that.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Okay, my final question, back to the basic question. If I want to make my AutoIt script browser independent for example, functions like  _IEPropertyGet and _IEPropertySet, is there a way of achieving it? My code involves opening a window, (logged in after providing user id and password) get some texts from Text Area and log into another application and update another Text Area. Is there a browser independent way of doing it?
