Assistance with lining up cursor and/or focus of Maestro

[darent3]

Hi,

I’m not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but I simply can’t seem to get Maestro to “click” in the appropriate place. If it says in the listing of steps, open Chrome, and then I record “click” at a certain location on the Chrome screen, shouldn’t it simply “click” there? It seems to not line up.

I’m wondering if there is some other focus I need to set, or if I need to use different coordinates than the default.

Thanks,
Daren

Hey Daren,

Your description of your process is not especially clear, nor have you posted your macro – so we can see what’s happening.

Please do post your macro as Chris requested.

If it a HTML element/object that you want to click on, then most likely you will need to write some custom JavaScript. Some examples:

Thank you so much for your reply, I figured it out, I had to reference the screen (not the window). Thanks!
