Searching a string in an opened browser window

Try using Sendkeys.

Excuse m...but what are SendKeys..can some give me an example? And how can I check if a web page (an url address i know) is loaded or not?

Sendkeys is just a simpler way. It's not like api, i like api better, but if you can't find a way with api, you use sendkeys.

Type "Sendkeys (and the code) {ENTER}"

Key Code

BACKSPACE {BACKSPACE}, {BS}, or {BKSP}
BREAK {BREAK}
CAPS LOCK {CAPSLOCK}
DEL {DELETE} or {DEL}
DOWN ARROW {DOWN}
END {END}
ENTER {ENTER} or ~
ESC {ESC}
HELP {HELP}
HOME {HOME}
INS {INSERT}
LEFT ARROW {LEFT}
NUM LOCK {NUMLOCK}
PAGE DOWN {PGDN}
PAGE UP {PGUP}

PRINT SCREEN {PRTSC}
RIGHT ARROW {RIGHT}
SCROLL LOCK {SCROLLLOCK}
TAB {TAB}
UP ARROW {UP}
F1 {F1}
F2 {F2}
F3 {F3}
F4 {F4}
F5 {F5}
F6 {F6}
F7 {F7}
F8 {F8}
F9 {F9}
F10 {F10}
F11 {F11}
F12 {F12}
F13 {F13}
F14 {F14}
F15 {F15}
F16 {F16}

To specify keys combined with any combination of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys, precede the regular key code with one or more of the following codes:

Key Code

SHIFT +
CTRL (CONTROL) ^
ALT %

In your case:

SendKeys "{TAB}"
(to whenever you get to the box.)
SendKeys "Search String"
SendKeys "{ENTER}

I think that'd work.
I don't usually use Sendkeys, so I wouldn't really know how, but that's the way of how you do it.

Thanks...

..but that's not quit what I wanted to ask for. Let's take an example: I open my browser at http://www.something.com and there is a normal link to another URL. This link's name is "Click this to move on...". How can I get cordinates of this link? I need those cords cause I want to point my mouse cursor on that location and click it?

I know this is quit a weird question .. but you don't have to give me complete source codes...just ideas...just ideas...

Yeah, mis-read your question, sorry.
You can play with the mousepos function. Find it on vb-world.net. You just type the two coords until you get to the box, i guess.
