click all 10 buttons at the same time

[kev510]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for the fastest way to automatically click about 30 buttons on a webpage. The buttons are just normal button objects (not image/link) displayed in a webpage. Tricky thing is, there are two types of buttons, "Button A" and "Button B", and I need to click only all of the "Button A"s.

Here are some information you might need - Windows XP Home.
I have access to Mozilla Firefox/IE6/IE7.

I am already aware of the "just click them your self really fast" method.

Additionally, how can I achieve the same for check boxes?

Thanks everyone in advance!!

If you have firefox, you could use selenium ide - a free plugin for firefox that allows you to record and then playback web browsing.

If the checkboxes have something in common (same class for instance) then you could write a "favelet" snippet of javascript that you could click in the browser toolbar.

Just a thought!

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

Why would you need to click on 10 buttons, couldn't you click on just 1 and have all the actions for the 10 buttons run server side?

I don't follow the logic of having to click 10 buttons at the same time.

Maybe "buttons" means "radio buttons" ??

I don't see how you can click more than one "button" at any given time so it almost has to be radio buttons....right??

i am not trying to code the page...

I am trying to click those 30 buttons in a webpage designed by someone else

Have you guys read my post?

I apologize if posting my question in this forum confused you folks... To me though, it seemed like this was the best place.

You need to use a second program to do this. I recommend using AutoIT to write the code you need for your project.

Agreed, you'd need to get a third party app that can submit forms.

Ohh and its o.k, but it was a bit confusing, since this forum is aimed at actually coding and developing the web sites .

Still AutoIT as trollacious recommended would suit your needs.
