Command Reference

From iMacros

A high-level overview on the different versions of iMacros can be found here (business editions) and here (all versions).

The icons on each command detail page (see links below) show if the specific command is supported in the iMacros Browser, iMacros for Internet Explorer and iMacros for Firefox. Commands that are supported in all browsers work exactly the same in each browser, so macros created in the iMacros Browser (or Internet Explorer) can be replayed in iMacros for Firefox and vice versa. Browser specific differences are automatically handled by iMacros.
