How to use Internet Browsers with AutoHotkey - AutoHotkey Tutorial #8

[@Astrovic1]

stumbled upon autohotkey 2 days ago and already quiete sure this will change my life

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Astrovic, very nice 🤩

[@alejandronieto576]

Same situation here, agree 101%

[@justsurfin5013]

Like that, very slick. Hard coding passwords in scripts though is very dangerous. Think after finishing then compile in an executable and password protect the OG script.

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Just Surfin. You're 100% right and I should have made it clear. Thank you 😊 Kind regards, Anders

[@d.7203]

Rather than open up new browser , is there way to do it in the current browser opened (i.e. go to a url from the current browser and login)?

Amazing video, exactly what I needed, but there's a doubt about the submit button: What to do when there is no id of the button?

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Jonathan Morais I worked within AutoHotkey for more than five years, but I started to find myself limited (I couldn't automate everything). As a result, I've changed the tool to UiPath. It's free as well; it's low code (drag-n-drop), the most used RPA tool in the world. Find my beginners guide here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaGYi6p8gMubY5I Kind regards, Anders

Hi Anders, this video is simple but very helpful. If I want to start doing auotmation to feed data from Excel file into a sequence of Web pages where data are validated - 1) How AutoHotKey response to error? 2) AutoHotKey or UiPath, which one would you recommend for what I am attempting to do ? Many thanks!!

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey V Cheng. Thank you. Per default your script will just stop, unless you build in some kind of exception handling (most likely some tries and catches), however if you want to accomplish that very easily, you can use UiPath and it's built in REFramework (=template). I've made a beginners tutorial one week ago, you can watch. Have a great day 🙂 Kind regards, Anders

I am scripting similar login page code, following your ahk script with IE. It works fine with filling in the username field and the password field, but for some reason does not recognize my code on the ... getElementbyID("LoginSubmit").submit() line "LoginSubmit" is the actual webpage's ID for that button. Any idea how I should troubleshoot that? Thanks for a great video.

Hey eee ttt. Thanks a lot 😊 Have a great day. Kind regards, Anders

[@Rambyaye]

Great video, thanks! But the video title is not accurate, as Chrome or Firefox don't have COM implementation (maybe you weren't aware of that), but Internet Explorer have it since COM is a Microsoft creation and COM is particular to the implemented application so you need to read the documentation of the application or Internet explorer in Microsoft site to know how to interact with them. "How to use Internet Explorer with AutoHotkey" would have been more suitable unless you could show us how to make this work with the other internet browsers

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Rambyaye. Thanks a lot for your great elaboration and you're right. I automated in AHK for 5 years and now I use UiPath (free and much more advanced), but I could definately do better with this explanation. Thanks for letting me know. Kind regards, Anders

[@Rambyaye]
