crazyflx 22 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I just posted this on another thread, but I figured it'd probably be nice if people searching topics could find it as it's own thread. This is for those sites that almost always seem to know that a bot is doing the form filling. They usually know because there is some sort of javascript tied to the field that needs to be "activated" that normally isn't when a bot is doing the form filling. Sometimes, "send keys field chosen -> content to send to field" is enough...and other times it isn't. I've driven myself crazy trying to figure out what magical combination I needed to send to certain fields to activate them. What's worse, is when the signal that tells you a field has been activated is invisible, and you try to sign up to a site thinking they have no "spam prevention tools", and you just can't sign up for it (because it knows a bot did the form filling, and you thought that the form didn't know). So, here is my solution: I have a Sub that I run before filling in any fields now to save myself headaches. I choose the field I'm going to fill in, then run my "activate field" sub which looks like this: Sub - Activate Field Send Keys Field Chosen -qwerty Send Keys Chosen-$nothing Send Keys Chosen-$special keys down Send Keys Chosen-$new line Change Chosen Attributes-$nothing (this one clears out any keystrokes that have been sent (like the qwerty). I've also seen the $special keys down command send this to the field "/" and you don't want that before your password) Then, after I run this sub, it then sends what I wanted sent to the field to it. So, all in all, everything looks like this: Select Chosen Attribute Run Sub - Activate Field Change Chosen Attribute-whatever I want to send Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eric 15 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm happy to hear it helped! Hi I have this same issues on some sites too, it didn't regronize any text input or click chosen command at times, and sometimes the process works. So I guess it's facing the same issue as mentioned. I wanted to put this sub script between the chosen attribute and select attribute, but want do I input in the field "Send Keys Field Chosen-qwerty" Do I just input any text string inside thie "Send Keys Field Chosen" ? Or is this a constant? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
