[solved] find text and get position of found text

[gin]

Hi,

My macro needs to:

1. ctrl-f to find some keyword in firefox
2. once the keyword is found, I need to get the xy coordinates of the found text

Thanks for reading.

Get coordinates of selected text? This is probably possible in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox. QM cannot access full Firefox DOM like Javascript in Firefox.

When I press escape after finding the text, I can press the context menu (the button beside the windows button) and the context menu pops up where the text is, so could I find the caret's xy that way?

int w=wait(10 WV win("" "MozillaDropShadowWindowClass")) ;;wait for a Firefox menu window
int x y
GetWinXY w x y
mou x y

Thanks. I modified it slightly and it gave the up-left corner x y for the context menu, but it is unreliable because its position shifts when the cursor is at the bottom of the screen. i'm reading your other code for accessible objects - sounds very promising!
