Tell AppleScript to click on a button on a webpage

[Thanh]

Hello,

I am having trouble with writting an AppleScript to click on a button on a webpage to download data. So far, this is what I have:

tell application "System Events"

if exists process "Export Window" then

tell process "Export Window"

delay 2

set frontmost to true

click button "Download"

end tell

end if

end tell

Can anyone please help.

Thanks,

tdogolf

You can try entering the key code for enter, i believe its like 75 or 79 (It depends on what type of keyboard you have).

tell application "System Events" to keycode 79

That might work for ya.

Or alternatley you can just use URLAccess scripting to download the file.

Tell application "URL Access Scripting"

download "http://www.google.com/image1.jpg" to "Macintosh HD:image1.jpg"

end tell

My syntax is probably off, but you get the idea.

Tried both ways without any sucessful. Any other ideas?

well, in filemaker it would be like this:

tell application "URL Access Scripting" to download "http://www.example.com/image1.jpg" to "Macintosh HD:image1.jpg"

I'd use curl and "do shell script" if you're just downloading something from a web site.
