Hi everyone, I'm brand new to KM and I'm getting SO close to getting my macro to work, but autopopulating fields is really getting the better of me. Basically, I want to 1) extract a list of students from a webpage:
From there I need it to populate these fields in this order. But when I get to steps 2 and 3, my macro says it fails upon attempt (I'm not even sure if #1 is correct.
Here is my attempt with 2 pics. Below that is the code for 1-3 in the HTML.
This may very well be doable with JavaScript, but Keyboard Maestro's in-browser actions have a very limited context – so an Execute a JavaScript in Google Chrome action is probably the way to go.
And of course you have to know/learn enough JavaScript to get the job done.
BTW -- If you haven't read this it's worth a couple of minutes of your time.
I'm totally new to Javascript, and I do think those forms are indeed Javascript based. What would you suggest is my "quick win" to learn some basic JavaScript to invoke this? Is there an example of using KM for this somewhere? Like a tutorial?
I think I can see the JavaScript code for this page, but I'm not sure where to start to program KM to invoke it.
Also, thanks for your suggestion on getting a better answer in shorter time. Was there something in particular in my response that caused unnecessary churn?
