fire.event

[RAK]

I have a web page search automated using OLE and the fire.event function - it works well. To speed things up in other procedures, I have bpassed browsers using the WWINT44i.DLL. Is there any way to trigger an 'onclick' event using the WWINT44I.DLL?

The WinInet extender does not process JavaScript. The click event is raised when the user clicks on an element in a browser. The click event will occur after the mousedown and mouseup events. These actions don't really apply in the context of a WinInet script.

You will either need to figure out the JavaScript does and write code to emulate that (maybe see if the web page provider has given a non-javascript version of the link) or consider using COM automation of InternetExplorer.

There's also tools like PhantomJS ( http://phantomjs.org/ ) for automating web sites.
