Syntax

URL GOTO=some_URL

Note: iMacros automatically inserts a URL GOTO command at the start of every recording. However, the command is not required. It can be removed. Removing this command is useful if you want the macro to continue where another macro (or a human user) left off. Without URL GOTO, iMacros continues at the exactly same position, without reloading the page.

Parameters

• GOTO

  Specifies the URL to go to.

Examples

If you want to open a second website, use the following code:

' open a webpage in the first tab 
URL GOTO=http://www.iopus.com 
' open a new tab 
TAB OPEN 
' get new tab to foreground 
TAB T=2 
' load another page 
URL GOTO=http://www.google.com

The URL can also call Javascript functions that are either defined in this line or are embedded in the page (V6.22 and later):

 URL GOTO=javascript:alert("TEST"); 

 URL GOTO=http://www.iopus.com
 URL GOTO=javascript:openDemo('shared/flash/imacros1',820,650);
 TAB T=2

Open a local file:

 URL GOTO=file:///D:/test/image.png
 URL GOTO=file:///D:/test/report.html
