Automatic Mode Details
In automatic recording mode iMacros tries to determine the best attribute for the generated TAG command automatically. For example, when recording a hyperlink iMacros uses the following attributes (in this order):
- link ID or NAME (if link has one)
- link text (if specified)
- link URL
Example link:
<A id=myLinkID href="../success/index.htm" name=myLinkName>Hello</A>
The value of the POS=<x> parameter in the TAG command is adjusted automatically. Example: If you select the 3rd identical element in a page, it will be POS=3.
The relationship between a recorded TAG command and the actual web page HTML code is fully documented. There is also an example page to test the iMacros recording. Advanced users can use this documentation to manually created TAG commands based on the HTML source of the website and/or have a program generate the iMacros macro commands.
