Re: How do I control a Java applet in my browser from Rev?
Dennis, send me the HTML, and I'll see if I can make any sense of it... Best, Mark On 15 Dec 2005, at 02:58, Dennis Brown wrote: Mark, Tom, Jim, Terry, Xavier, Thanks for all your suggestions. I thought there was going to be a simple answer when I ask it. The good news is that it appears to be in the realms of doablity. The bad news is that I have avoided learning Applescript and Javascript until now. Yet I am willing to at least put my big toe in the water if that is what it takes. I am looking at the source HTML with some Javascript for the page in question right now. I can see that the page source is created just for me, because it has URL's and passwords for me embedded into text constants. It seems to have some interesting definitions in it that leads me to believe that the field I want to input to is accessible through the page source. Since the page is full of URLs as to where to find things on the server, I figure it would break soon if I just took the script and changed the parts I want to. I have hacked it to remove all the extraneous stuff like Ads, etc. to get the source down to readable size --a couple of pages --it even still sort of works. I think if I could change the values of the following params that are in the Javascript, it might work: param name=SYMBOL value=NASDAQ: / param name=SymbolChange value=1 / I would just grab the HTML into a file and edit it on the fly, but reloading the page causes the script to take a long time to start up, and it does not save the chart settings --they all revert to startup defaults. So my best bet is changing these parameters while it is running. Am I on the right track here? I could email the HTML source to someone if you would not mind taking a quick look at it to see if this approach is likely to work. (I changed the password, but it still runs --just won't connect for the real quote data).

RE: How do I control a Java applet in my browser from Rev?
Dennis, you might need a Macro program to do that. A macro, like QuickKeys can handle this easily and they are usually apple-scriptable. Record the macro-sequence. Give it a name and then do thismacroname as QuickKeys -- or as Applescripts maybe... im out of the mac circle but I know that worked. To insert custom text... you can have rev generate it and put it into the clipboard before your macro goes paste it into the java field... Mileage may vary depending on Macro program (QuickKeys is top notch)... I owned QK since 1.0 and there is few other more helpful or easy to use programs like it.

Re: How do I control a Java applet in my browser from Rev?
I almost certain that you're not going to have any joy going down this (applescript) path but to script the normally 'unscriptable' app in OSX you need to: (i) turn on 'enable access for assistive devices' in the 'universal access' pane of 'system preferences' (ii) get a copy of 'UI Element Inspector' (available from the Apple web site) or even better 'UI Browser' (from PreFab software - www.prefab.com) so that you can 'inspect' whatever it is you're trying to capture (iii) use the info you get back from (ii) to construct some foxy Applescript My feeling is that a Java applet wont even register but if you want to try it then use Safari rather than Firefox as the latter's interface gets rendered as a single non-deconstructable (surely that isn't a word) object.

Re: How do I control a Java applet in my browser from Rev?
From the Apple site on this: Scripters have often requested the ability to control, via AppleScript, applications that either do not have AppleScript support or are only partially scriptable. Mac OS X v10.3 includes support for the control of the computer's graphic user interface via AppleScript. Graphic user interface control is performed by an updated version of the System Events application. By addressing the System Events application, AppleScript scripts can select menu items, push buttons, enter text into text fields, and generally control the interfaces of most non-Classic applications. Seems like it should work but maybe it is the fact that the items in question are not interface controls.

Re: How do I control a Java applet in my browser from Rev?
A useful thing can also be to store your applescripts in custom properties, with place-holders for values and then: put the myApplescript of me into tScript replace placeholder with value in tScript do tScript as applescript an example (including a bit of javaScript): a custom property called jsSetAndGetAS contains: set tScr to document.ResultSel.Day.selectedIndex = dd; document.ResultSel.Month.selectedIndex = mm; document.ResultSel.Year.selectedIndex = yy; ResultsSubmit() tell application Safari do JavaScript tScr in document 1 end tell and then in my app I have put the jsSetAndGetAS of me into tScript replace dd with dayOfMonth() in tScript replace mm with MonthNum() in tScript replace yy with getYear() in tScript do tScript as applescript building applescripts in a rev script can get hard to read.

Re: How do I control a Java applet in my browser from Rev?
Mark, Tom, Jim, Terry, Xavier, Thanks for all your suggestions. I thought there was going to be a simple answer when I ask it. The good news is that it appears to be in the realms of doablity. The bad news is that I have avoided learning Applescript and Javascript until now. Yet I am willing to at least put my big toe in the water if that is what it takes. I am looking at the source HTML with some Javascript for the page in question right now. I can see that the page source is created just for me, because it has URL's and passwords for me embedded into text constants. It seems to have some interesting definitions in it that leads me to believe that the field I want to input to is accessible through the page source. Since the page is full of URLs as to where to find things on the server, I figure it would break soon if I just took the script and changed the parts I want to. I have hacked it to remove all the extraneous stuff like Ads, etc. to get the source down to readable size --a couple of pages --it even still sort of works. I think if I could change the values of the following params that are in the Javascript, it might work: param name=SYMBOL value=NASDAQ: / param name=SymbolChange value=1 / I would just grab the HTML into a file and edit it on the fly, but reloading the page causes the script to take a long time to start up, and it does not save the chart settings --they all revert to startup defaults. So my best bet is changing these parameters while it is running. Am I on the right track here? I could email the HTML source to someone if you would not mind taking a quick look at it to see if this approach is likely to work. (I changed the password, but it still runs --just won't connect for the real quote data).

There is a difference between 'recordable' and scriptable' where Safari is amazingly scriptable. The key to your solution may be the following: You might want to check the Applescript dictionary for Safari for Do Javascript command this will send a JavaScript command to the active browser window and active tab in that window.
