I agree that's needed... that's why I wrote an AutoIt3 script for it. From a .bat file or other program, you could call my .exe: AutoRunNewUBot.exe MyUbotExe.exe 2 That would open the UBot (assuming it's in the same folder), select the second tab, and then mouse over and press play. Although it doesn't close when finished. Here's the forum post with AutoIt3 code.

Yeah, I think it may be: function putItBack() { parent.appendChild(elem); } I almost always use jQuery for javascript, so I'm rusty in the "native" javascript I guess.

Remove the element from the DOM... delay to make sure the element is removed (it should disappear), then right before submitting the form, re-insert the element? I didn't test this code, but something like this... var elem = null; var parent = null; function removeIt(someName) { elem = document.getElementsByName(someName)[0]; parent = elem.parentNode; parent.removeChild(elem); //if it doesn't disappear after this maybe there is another element with same name } function putItBack() { parent.addChild(elem); }

The text-input element that's used to overwrite the other field probably has an onchange event. Maybe you could try unregistering the onchange event? You could try getting the element (by name or id) and setting onchange to null... elem.onchange = null;

javascript of course. You can do 'run javascript' to define a function... function changeId(oldId, newId) { var elem = document.getElementById(oldId); elem.id = newId; } Then run javascript... changeId('{1}', 'blah'); Try changing the value. Then run javascript again.... changeId('blah', '{1}'); Where {1} is UBot var of original id. BTW, have you tried a delay between setting the field values? Maybe UBot is so fast, all the fields get filled before the javascript to update the field is run.

Yeah the main problem with automating the new UBots is that you can't tab to the bottom pane which contains the play button and form fields. That definitely makes automating a little harder. I made a new AutoIt3 script for the new UBots... it opens the UBot, selects the correct tab, and mouses over the play button to press play. Here's the .exe file (more info on my blog). You can create this .exe file by compiling the script below in AutoIt3. Just don't move the mouse when it's trying to click play. ;Basic script AutoRun UBot - takes an .exe as parameter ;Directions: ;Put this

Nice workaround. Never thought to save to a file and parse it line-by-line... I'll keep that in mind if I have to make a scrape-bot without javascript. Thanks for sharing.

Do you mind sharing how you did it without javascript? Did you use the page_scrape function?

In my opinion, your code to scrape title2 should work and this is a UBot bug. Either that, or I don't understand the implementation of $page_scrape. One time I was so frustrated with $page_scrape, I wrote my own function in javascript. Unfortunately I can't help you using this function, because your page doesn't have javascript on it... and pages without existing javascript don't run inserted javascript (btw - my utility SpeedyBot can get around this). So I can't claim your $20. Still - I attached a bot that would work if you had javascript on the page. I'd also like to see how a U

Yes I was thinking of doing that. It would take some real work though - making settings files, an .exe to distribute that runs silently in the background, another .exe that you call from UBot that uses Named Pipes to communicate with a running instance of the silent version of SpeedyBot... and although I already have a licensing system, this would make it more complex. I was hoping some people would buy the tool now to support future development on this. I'm not sure what Zap is trying to do... but right now SpeedyBot doesn't try to intercept non-HTML traffic. If you intercepted an

Thanks for the suggestion. That does seem like an essential option... so I added another checkbox so you can block external CSS files. Anyone who buys SpeedyBot will get the new version. For the most part - IE sucks as a webspider. I think this utility can change that.

This isn't a UBot, but it's a utility that I use while running my UBots - so I hope no one minds me posting it here. SpeedyBot is a .NET program that can make your botting/spidering faster. It intercepts HTTP traffic, and modifies the HTML of a webpage before your browser reads it. This program can insert or remove any code from a webpage before UBot or any browser loads it. You can: 1. Remove all iframe, flash, or script tags before loading. 2. Insert Jquery, or your own javascript and have that code become part of the page. 3. Remove images from a webpage. Or remove all images except

You can't double-click it because it doesn't know what .exe to run, and takes the .exe name as a parameter. The reason it's setup like that is so I can tell the .exe what UBot to run on the fly from another program. But if you want something to double-click, you can open up Notepad and type in: AutoRunUBot.exe YOUR_UBOT.exe Then "Save As" - put it in the same folder as the other files, and name it: something.bat It doesn't matter what you name it - it just has to be a batch file (ending with .bat). Then you can double-click that and it will run the .exe with your ubot .exe as the

My app works as I described for DeathByCaptcha. You drop a folder into My Documents, and edit an .ini file with user credentials for either service, then call a function in a .ubot library which eventually returns the solved captcha after calling a .NET console app. It sounds very similar to some_guy's although I haven't tried his. There are two problems though... 1. I haven't been able to get in touch with the person who runs CaptchaBot so I can give him money for captchas and test my app. I wrote the CaptchaBot implementation code, but I'm not sure if it works. Even if the icon for

In the other thread where it says that people would pay money (which you obviously read)... I asked if anybody was going to work on this. It would have helped if you spoke up.
