Digital Workshop

Hi folks, can anyone offer up some knowledge on the following?

I have a web page within a publication which connects to a log in page on the www. Is it possible to log in via this page and then have Opus auto refresh the new page in the browser?

At the moment, Opus can refresh, but only the original page which is entered in the properties dialogue.

Hope this sounds logical

Jim

Opus Pro 5.5

Could you close the initial browser and open a new one with a to the page you want to auto-refresh?

Or could you add the META refresh to your webpage?

It would not be possible to add the tag to the web page as the page does not belong to me. Opening a seperate browser would not solve my problem as the address is always dynamic, dependent on user details.

Or maybe I am missing something

Edit. Am i right in saying that Opus cannot 'Grab' a web address from a browser obect?

Did you try with script?



This is what I tried. I opened a browser object to www.yahoo.com.
I then clicked a link there and went to another location in the browser. Then I clicked a button I had created in Opus that refreshed the browser object. It refreshed the browser object on the second page and not the Yahoo page, so maybe that is what you are trying to do?

Bwpatric, that worked a treat! I really dont use scripting and that is to my disadvantage. I will have to start doing some research on scripting. I think I will start on the tutorials that Graham has submitted. Thanks again for a simple solution to what was a pain for me!

It shouldn't be necessary to script this - you should be able to just use the the Refresh action in the Launch actions section - it does exactly the same as the script action (they are the same code behind the scenes!)
