| - | ====== Execute JavaScript in Browser ====== | + | ~~REDIRECT>actions: Execute_a_JavaScript_in_Browser~~ |
| - | |||
| - | **The Execute JavaScript Action is available ONLY for [[action:Execute_a_JavaScript_in_Safari|Safari]] and [[action:Execute_a_JavaScript_in_Google_Chrome|Google Chrome]].**\\ | ||
| - | These are actually two separate Actions, one for each browser. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This action allows you to execute a specified JavaScript, either from a file or text entered in the Action itself, and return the results. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Options for Returning Results ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | *ignore results. | ||
| - | *display results in a window. | ||
| - | *display results briefly. | ||
| - | *display results large. | ||
| - | *type results. | ||
| - | *paste results. | ||
| - | *save results to variable. | ||
| - | *save results to the system clipboard or a named clipboard. | ||
| - | *save results asynchronously — the action runs while the macro continues on. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If the results are to be saved to a variable or a clipboard then further text areas appear in the action allowing you to specify the variable or specific clipboard. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Using Keyboard Maestro Variables ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | JavaScript can only **GET** Keyboard Maestro variables. They cannot be set: | ||
| - | |||
| - | ```javascript | ||
| - | var myData = document.kmvar.My_KM_Data | ||
| - | ``` | ||
| - | |||
| - | If your Keyboard Maestro Variable contains spaces, they must be replaced with underscores in the JavaScript.\\ | ||
| - | So, for example:\\ | ||
| - | Keyboard Maestro Variable Name: My KM Data | ||
| - | JavaScript Reference: document.kmvar.My_KM_Data | ||
| - | | ||
| - | ===== Saving Results to Keyboard Maestro Variables ===== | ||
| - | | ||
| - | If you need to set a Keyboard Maestro Variable from the Browser JavaScript, then use a JavaScript return to return the data to the Keyboard Maestro Action, which can be set to save the results as a Keyboard Maestro Variable. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you need to set more than one Keyboard Maestro Variable, one approach is to return the data for each variable on a separate line (or with delimiters of your choice), and then parse in a following Keyboard Maestro Search Action using RegEx. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Examples ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | **1. Return Data for Multiple Variables** | ||
