Send JavaScript codes to the browser easily

[WilburBr]

Hello.

I searched extensively on how to submit javascript code to the browser. I tested imacros, kantu, katalon ... watched the videos of joe glines on selenium.

Then I discovered the addon called "Autofill", created by Tom Doan (http www.tohodo.com). available for firefox and chrome. Broken Link for safety

As it says at the beginning of the Overview "The Autofill extension serves one purpose: fill fields automatically on page load without any interaction from the user. This is its primary function, but it can do so much more.[...]"

The addon allows you to create multiple profiles with javascript codes and assign shortcut keys to them, which can be easily triggered by simple "send," shortcut key "" by autohotkey.


I was impressed by the ease of use and quality of the extension

Cool! Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been having some issues automating a website with Selenium, hopefully this will help me overcome that problem.

You can also use Tampermonkey and JavaScript to automate stuff in the browser. Using an app called Unified Remote on my phone I can launch Spotify on a server in my house. The code below connects Spotify on the phone and server. Great for adding custom key binds to websites or automating stuff you do regularly.

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Spotify
// @require      https ajax.googleapis.com /ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js  Broken Link for safety
// @namespace    http tampermonkey.net /  Broken Link for safety
// @version      0.1
// @description  try to take over the world!
// @author       You
// @include      https open.spotify.com*   Broken Link for safety
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

// Your code here...
var spotInterval;
var $ = window.jQuery;
window.addEventListener("keydown", keysPressed, false);
window.addEventListener("keyup", keysReleased, false);

var keys = [];

function keysPressed(e) {
   // store an entry for every key pressed
    keys[e.keyCode] = true;

//        // Ctrl + shift+alt+q
   if (keys[17] && keys[18] && keys[16] && keys[81]) {
        //
       $('button.spoticon-devices-16').eq(0).trigger('click');

        // prevent default browser behavior

        e.preventDefault();
   }
}

function keysReleased(e) {
    // mark keys that were released
    keys[e.keyCode] = false;
}

function spotifyConnect(){
spotInterval = setInterval( function()
    {
        if ($('div.connect-device-list-item__info:contains("This Web Browser")').length>0){
        clearInterval(spotInterval);
        $('div.connect-device-list-item__info:contains("This Web Browser")').eq(0).trigger('click');
        }
    }, 2000);
}


$( document ).ready(function() {
 setTimeout(function() {
    // Your code here
    //5 seconds after page loads, click the menu item to select what device music is played back from
$('button.spoticon-devices-16').eq(0).trigger('click');
}, 5000);
//function to check every 2 seconds if device list exists - it won't exist unless Spotify is running on your phone
spotifyConnect();


});
