LazyBotter 188 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 You should always try to use the iphone/android user agents if you can when building bots (depending on what you are building). Changing the user agent to mobile will usually allow the pages to load faster & elements are easier to manipulate. Carl FREE Automation Software 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Legend 181 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 interesting. Why do do you have to set user agent to iphone? just curious. As sites are built different code is included for different browser engines as they tend to process information differently. Being able to mask ourselves as iphone (et. al.) just gives us another way of accessing the information if the standard browsers have bot blocking code, flash images, complex coding and/or are otherwise difficult to scrape. Smart phone browsers are based on much simple engines and I've always looked at that as kind of a back door for us botters... one that has saved my bot's collective asses on many occasions... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wiremarket 1 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hello Shane, Just delete the element offset from the change dropdown command, and replace it with: <birth day dropdown> No offset needed, as far as I can tell. Hope that helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
