theninjamanz 29 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 The first object that loads on a page for me has a different position. IE if I choose the attribute by the Position one time I will get 10, and the next time I will get 13 and then 14. However, from that point on all subsequent positions are relative. Is it possible for me to somehow get that numerical position into a variable? I' don't think it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alcr 135 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've never seen that behaviour. And that is not possible as far as I know, no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotBuddy 331 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 My guess is that there is some rogue HTML code that is being added around those objects and that is causeing the issue. I do know how to replicate it and that is to spinnable text. In the end, I thnk it is a poorly designed site. In my case, I was mixing everything together without tables, and . It was REALLY ugly in the early days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was REALLY ugly in the early days. Well, it's Facebook that is giving me the headache. I reckon their code is pretty clean, but I will take another look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotBuddy 331 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Ouch! I feel your pain now. I have experienced that as well. I gave up that part of my problem. Getting that position number nailed down was more of a moving target. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alcr 135 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I would say that facebook's code is not clean at all. It's very messy. But this might be a antibot-feature of some sort that they've intentionally coded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
