UNFINISHED: Mass Radio Button Select
« on: January 09, 2011, 01:33 AM »
If you have ever taken those online surveys in order to get something, you know about the part where you it shows you a page with multiple offers and whether or not you would like to see them. To choose to not view them, you have to click the radio button that is labeled "No" next to each one. This gets quite annoying after there is 20+ offers, causing you to waste time.

So, is it possible for a program to click every radio button on a page that is labeled with "No" or some other customizable text specified in a settings menu?

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

If only there was a similar extension/program for checkboxes, though.

I wonder if RoboForm or similar could be taught to mass check/uncheck checkboxes...

Oops. I meant "radio buttons" in my last post. Sorry.

someone who has basic experience coding firefox addons should be able to modify that to support radioboxes.

If it matters, I'm a Google Chrome user, so a firefox add-on wouldn't help as much (though, if you make it, I would definitely use it).

Sorry to go off-topic and all, but, I noticed that a few apps were created with AHK. Are there any good tutorials for a beginner like me to get started programming with it? I looked at the website's tutorials, and I'm just wondering if there are any others that are better. If I can learn AHK, I could attempt to do this coding snack myself. Thanks.
