I have been trying to open a website (using python), then run a JavaScript script on it.
I did the open the website part, but I haven't managed to get the JavaScript to run after the page loads.
import os
url='example.com'
jscode='alert(\'success\')'
os.system('start chrome.exe '+url+' javascript:'+jscode)
The code above is the best I can think of.
It opens the website but does not run the javascript.
I used os.system() because other methods have problems with chrome.
I figured it out:
VBScript and batch together to open the site then enter keystrokes
'https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/whatever/Make+a+batch+file+that+opens+site+in+browser+and+enter+login+information' was very useful for developing this answer
'''
enclosed in '{}' means special characters
'~' or '{ENTER}' = [ENTER]
'^' = [CTRL]
multiple characters in the same list item are typed at the same time
'''
keyplan = ["^l","javascript:alert{(}'success'{)}","~"]
with open('temp.cmd','w') as f: pass
with open('temp.cmd', 'a') as f:
#batch code section
f.write(
'@if (@CodeSection == @Batch) @then\n'
+'@echo off\n'
+'set SendKeys=CScript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0"\n')
+'START CHROME "example.com"\n'
+'timeout /t 10\n'
)#the timeout is to give time for the page to load
#log keys in plan
for key in keyplan:
f.write('%SendKeys% "'+key+'"\n')
f.write('goto :EOF\n')
f.write('@end\n')
#VBScript section
f.write('var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");\n')
#send keys (runs on every '%SendKeys% "key")
f.write('WshShell.SendKeys(WScript.Arguments(0));\n')
os.system("temp.cmd")
After writing this I have realized that import pynput is a method that would not involve os.system.
