    Repetitive Web Page Clicks
    « on: February 13, 2012, 06:10:33 AM »
    Is there any software, preferably freeware, that can capture browser clicks and capture the data from a particular page?

    I'm guessing that, by "capture browser clicks", you mean automatically open all hyperlinks on any given page to other pages.  Is that right?  And, by "capture the data from a particular page", do you mean save the whole page or some portion of the content on a page?  If the latter, then how would any such software know what part of a page you would want it to capture?   

    I'm wondering, what is your objective here?  Can you shed some light on that?

    What is your OS?? If you have W7, go to search, type PSR. ,click on PSR, a small pop up will appear. Click start recording. Every thing you do after that will be recorded. It will then go to a zip file. You can open it and view every  thing. You can even view it as a slide show!
    It's a really cool feature of W7.

    I tested it.  It creates images of web pages viewed but does not capture data.  So, I'm sure it will not serve the purpose desired by et_phonehome_2.

      Unfortunately, I am still using XP.  By going to a particular page, I mean that I always want to go to a certain page that I have traversed to which I want the software to capture, and then from there I can probably write something to capture the data on that page for processing.

      Its similar to those software that can capture keystrokes to simulate users entering data for a load test...

      Is this always the same page?  How often is a capture desired? 

      Perhaps this would be useful: Assign macro or function to keys on your keyboard
