IMacros is a powerful tool indeed!!
I always had it in my FF add-ins but never use it as it seems to be a bit complicated.
Recently, I had a new project where huge amount of repetitive action needed to take place, and the only solution was to ‘jump into the cold water’ and start using it.
It is great time saver as normal action would take me 15min’ now running with IMacros its about 3-4min’.

Truly an amazing tool!

Autocompletion would be awesome (kit key, type part of macro name, hit tab to complete.

They are easy enough for a beginner to use, and the learning curve rather painless. I agree they are a time saver, I am able to use them for lots of different tasks. I think there only limited by your imagination and as my programming skills improve I find I’m having lots of fun with them. They really are useful especially the Scripting Edition.
Just my $0.02
Cheers ;-)

Holy Cow, Mike; I certainly see a difference! TAG POS=1 TYPE=* ATTR=”Register Now” What?

Still, I practically had to give IBM.com my thumbprint in blood to get an account so I could access the info regarding CoScripter, so I’m inclined to try iMacros first and see if I can figure out TAG POS=1 TYPE=* ATTR=”Register Now”, etc.

By human readable, I meant that Co-Scripter code is read/written like: “go to http://foo.com, click Register now” and the browser will open that page and click that button. Not just that you can edit the macro in a text editor :)
Mike says: October 12th, 2007 11:12am

Mike, I know what you meant with “human readable”. I work with neural networks and AI daily, so I tested CoScripter as soon as I saw it mentioned on a blog some weeks ago,

To cut a long story short, I was very disappointed. It lacks any kind of intelligence to be REALLY human readable. At least, it is not more human readable than a well-written Perl script or AppleScript.

Compare this: CoScripter iMacros

go to http://foo.com URL GOTO=http://foo.com
“click Register now” TAG POS=1 TYPE=* ATTR=”Register Now”

I fail to see any major difference, except some simple string manipulation.
