I am setting up a macro, and would like to know if there
is a way to automatically go to the first field that I am
to enter information into? When I refresh the cursor isn't
blinking at all. Is there a shortcut key to go to first
field. Must be an answer since programs like Gator find
the fields. If not I have to put a lot of Tab key entries
into the macro and they are less dependable than I would
like.
 
That functionality is usually up to the web page programmer to put in the
web page itself (eg. <body onload="javascript:txtName.focus()" ). I haven't
used macros so I cannot comment with authority but I assume that they are
limited to only sending keystrokes to IE to navigate to on a web page and so
can easily be confused.
If you have a good programming knowledge you may like to consider creating
your own BHO or Toolbar like Gator that will access to the DOM of the loaded
web page to query which and what type of controls it contains.
If you are looking for a substitute to the Gator plug-in I would recommend
RoboForm which has no ad-ware or spy-ware.
