How do I click on a button on a web page?

Once you position the cursor over a button (via the tab key), you issue a space command. You can use either the Space key in the Editor or just press the space bar when entering your macro.

For example, if you had a form that requested your name, street address, city, state and zip code followed by a submit button, you could create a macro as follows: “Fred Smith<TAB>123 Apple Lane<TAB>Small Town<TAB>UT<TAB>80000<TAB>
<SPACE>”.

When invoked, this would tab through the fields filling them in and then press the submit button.

The space will work equally well with checkbox and radio type buttons on web page forms.
