Looks like that UrlTemplateMap doesn't work because I get the term 'UrlTemplateMap' is not recognized... so the shortwords dont work.

Would you mind showing an example of how you might use powershell with mshtml?

Maybe navigate to search.live.com and fill in the search box and click ok?

The .NET Framework offers great support for HTTP scripting. See: http://www.leeholmes.com/blog/AdvancedHTTPASPNetScriptingWithPowerShell.aspx

Karl:

$ie=new-object -com internetexplorer.application

$ie.visible=$true

$ie.navigate($url1)

$ie.navigate($url2,0x0800)

"0x0800" will cause a new tab to open for $url2.

Karl,

I just noticed that Jeff had something to open pages in different tabs.

What exactly were you looking for? To open pages in *specific* tabs like tab #1, #2, etc.?

I made a slight improvement to your script by using favorites in a PSLinks favorites folder to define the mapping instead of a hashtable. See: http://www.thehubbards.org/blog/2007/08/05/surfing-the-web-the-powershell-way/

Is there any way to click urls, buttons, assign values to textboxes etc in a web form?

I saw somewhere to assign values to test boxes, [get-inputElement $ie 'TextBox1'] is used. what if there is no id to the control? how to locate it. Does powershell support accessing controls via DOM?

I'll be using this as a method of keeping my IIS/.net sites warm, so users won't get the initial compile hit.

Thanks.

I just went to use it and found

the 1st line needs the $

UrlTemplateMap = @{

$UrlTemplateMap = @{

to work:)
