Run js funcion on web browser

Posted on by savyexe

So basically i'm trying to automate filling some web forms. Each row has a button that opens a sub-menu (and i haven't found a way to focus the button with keypresses) so i'm trying to either focus the button, or call the on-click function that the button has, but none of the have worked.

i've tried the following code:

function ExecuteScript() { document.getElementById("btn-0").focus();}

function ExecuteScript() { AssignValue(0); }

AssignValue(0) is the fuction that the button calls. Also, each button has a different id, such as btn-1, btn-2 and so on (same for the fuction, AssignValue(1), AssignValue(2)...)

I'm not a web developer so i have no idea why this doesn't work, as executing the code on the web console does work.

Hey @VJR . In my case. I am first scrolling down the webpage. Clicking on a button. After clicking the button a pop up window comes in. Then I have to scroll down inside that pop up and click on a button. I am not sure how this will happen. In my JS code, I have written:
function ExecuteScript()
{
document.getElementById('id').scrollTop-=100;
}

Can you give a suggestion for this? In my case its not able to find the button without scrolling down in that pop up window.

Can you use "Launch new Chrome" with attach to a running instance option? Attach to this popup using any of the given options. Then add an UI element for the button and then Press button on webpage.

On the other hand also record the actions and it will give some hints and tips about the UI element you want to click and some pre-recorded actions on the PAD code window.

I can't do that since the page consists of a list of elements, each with its own identical-looking button, so i would have to add a UI element for each entry on the list, and the amount of entries also varies
