Pulling data from one window and pasting to another automatically - how?

January 26, 2006 1:14 AM

Looking for a macro program or method that captures and pastes text among different browser windows?

I'd like to automate pulling names and addresses off an online invoice open in a browser window, and pasting the data to the correct fields in another window for online shipping. Is there a reliable way to automate some of this? The same name, address, zip, is captured from one window and pasted to another window with the same open field boxes, name, address, zip.

Greasemonkey is your friend. If you can write javascript, do it yourself, if you can't, offer some money for it on the Mozilla Extensions forum.

AutoIt should be able to handle this.
