| | Re: Buttons to output strings to cursor focus Hi, thanks a lot for the code. It doesnt exactly do what i need though... I'd need something that, while the cursor is blinking in any field in a web page (like in form) enables me to automatically fill in that field by pressing a button. The page where the curso is blinking is a web page that is not the same where the button is (it is a web page that I do not provide, i.e. a web page that I browse to on the internet). Can this be done?

I don't know of a way to get that information - besides entering it into the application that contains the buttons. That is, in script, there is really no way to know where the mouse came from once the mouse leaves the target window and clicks on the app with the buttons (at least not AFAIK). This means, the button app doesn't know where to send its information. I believe it might be possible to wrap the example HTA around a frame that displays the target web page. In that case, it might be possible (if IE8 is not loaded) to then send the information from the buttons into the web page at the previously referenced cursor location. Unfortunately, I am moments away from leaving on vacation, so I can't go any further with this, sorry. Maybe someone else will be interested in taking up the challenge. _____________________ Tom Lavedas |
