Gambler's toolkit

interesting - I see it works with frames (which is what I need, presumably iframes as well?), since for now, I'm just checking to see if the browser is in readystate = 4, not the actual frame.

Event handling / listeners are at the fringe of my coding knowledge, but I certainly am interested in fiddling.

Thanks for the insight.

I'm not finding any document events like that in VBA. Honestly, dj, you're probably better off porting it over to VB. It will alleviate the problems with readystate and will allow you to dynamically size the array so that you can grab all of the href tags. It would give you greater versatility and a better platform for upscaling in the future as well.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

LOL. Ok. Perhaps, you need to do it with individual frames then.

 

[djiddish98]

Yeah - sadly, most of my "experience" in coding is self taught + a failed attempt at a CS minor.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Hmm. It looks like there actually is a document.completed event afterall.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Yeah. Unfortunately, that event can be a bit of a nightmare with frames too. If you want to further your knowledge, I would actually recommend downloading VB Express (evaluation version of Visual Basic) from Microsoft and playing around with that event there. The VBA interface isn't a very friendly one. It's much easier to learn on Express since you have intellisense and a far greater amount of documentation. I'd bet that you would probably rather have those tasks coded in an application once you begin to learn a bit more anyway. The best way to learn is by doing - especially in programming.

PTI!

 

[djiddish98]

Completely agree with the learning by doing part. I'd much rather sweat it out and do google searches than have the code I need handed to me in a file. It's more fun that way.

Thanks for the advice.

This is the best VB/VBA/anal fissure thread on Gamelive to date.

As fellow mostly self-taught programmer, I'll second everything MFer is saying here.

Also, don't forget the twisted testicles surgery he had while in Utah (I think). Poor starks.

Would you rather:

Twisted testicles or anal fissures?

Anal fissures, don't even have to think about it.
