Love your presentation. Could you put your javascript some where? Loved your music , the multiple approaches, your errors (we all make them), and stuff not working (been there).
Great video! Thanks for the content, really helpful. Just one doubt. I'm a self-taught RPA learner. Any ideas on how to get started with Java Script (from the basics)?
I would start possibly from trying to understand what I want to achieve and then googling to find any sources. Other than that I’d go to official jquery docs.
Hello, i am having issue to select a div element that loads up dynamically with ajax call on a web application for loading documents. can you assist please
Possibly yes. Would you mind contacting me directly?
By email ? Wich channel?
Hi , so what is emulating type again? I always confused this option.
That it emulates physical keystrokes. Like if user was actually typing on a keyboard.
@@TomaszPoszytek now I see should I turn it on or off most of the time?
Hi brother, I try to follow "33:32 Writing to fields using jQuery script instead of UI selectors" And I testing but data is not enter in the box web page. This code $("div:contains{'First Name'} > input").val("%CurrentItem['First Name']%").blur();
You should use regular brackets instead of curly ones. So contains('sone value')
@@TomaszPoszytek Thanks , now I solved the problem.
maybe to speed up run direclty POst request with variables i think
What exactly do you mean?
@@TomaszPoszytek i think post variable requests
Most of the time the elements didn't found using power automate that's the error I am getting while updating the SharePoint web form. Please help.. you screen size very slow to understand what you are typing in video
Well, first question is, why are you updating SharePoint form using RPA? And not cloud flow? Or rest api calls?
@@TomaszPoszytek I have used the web recorder. Now it sort out thanks 👍

You would do well to enlarge your screen, especially you ui selectors ... I can't see what you are typing ...
