Bill Brine 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Not sure how to attack this one. Here's the situation: I'm creating an ad submission bot for a particular service. The process is to fill in the form. click Submit, wait for the submission to complete, and then do the same thingover again with different ad details. To wait for the submission to complete, I tried Wait Finish but that does not always work since this does not bring up a new page and does not always redisplay the submission pagebefore Wait Finish "thinks" it has completed. Here's what actually happens: The first time I click the submit button, the text "The following ad has been posted as: Post #xxxx on http://....." appears on the submission page but nothing else changes. This text is not on theinitial submission page. Fine, I know how to use Wait For to wait for that text to appear. Now, fill in the form again (I'm using spun content) and hit Submit. This time the only thing that changes when the submission is completed is the #xxxx and the http://..... in the completion message. So I need to figure out how to wait until one of those elements changesthe second and subsequent times through the loop. Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotBuddy 331 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I would start with "Wait Finish", add a deliberate delay (maybe 15 secs) and then finish with a "Wait For". Place all three together. The problem is with the website you are posting to so you will have to time that out and then build in a fudge factor to ensure accuracy that you can live with.
