Can HB press a button on a webpage
Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:02 pm
I need some help. I am currently using VLC Media Player for my music, movies and streaming videos. Inside the VLC media Player is a web interface. You can open up a web page and control the media player. The question I have is there a way to have Housebot press the control button that i see on the web (intranet) using a vbscript. Attached is a portion of the html file from the web. Any idea will be appreciated.
