Automatic Scroll

Postby homepc on Mon Oct 22, 2007 3:14 pm

Is there a way to have XL automatically scroll down 4 lines of a web page after it displays it? I have an online TV guide displayed on one of my screens. And at the top of this online guide is advertisments. If I manually scroll down 4 lines, now I dont see the ad's. Can XL do this scroll automatically each time it display's this website?
thanks

Can you use something like sendkeys to that window/section to send 4 down-arrow commands when it opens? Just grasping at straws here, especially since I don't have any direct web pages displayed on my skin, plus i'm not home :)

cmhardwick,

Thanks for the reply, but I tried something like that already. I added a down arrow, but it did not work. Somehow I need to associate the down arrow with the web page. The scroll bar is part of the web page, not actually part of XL.

thanks

sounds like the xWindow (from what I know of it) might help you set the focus to that inset so you could send the scroll commands.

Again, just tossing out ideas :)
going back to work now hehehe
