Load Page

This action loads a page from a URL obtained either from a link on the current page, or from somewhere else. Note that loading from a link on the current page is usually easier done by using the Click action to perform a click on that link.

Properties

The Load Page action can be configured using the following properties:

Location

This property specifies which URL to open. The URL can be specified in several ways using a URL selector.

URL

Enter the URL directly in the text field provided. Note that standard URLs using the HTTP protocol can be shortened. For example, you can enter www.kofax.com instead of http://www.kofax.com.

URL in Found Tag

Specifies that the found tag contains the URL. The found tag must be one of the following types:

<a href="URL">
<area href="URL">
<frame src="URL">
<iframe src="URL">
<script src="URL">
<param value="URL">
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="...; url=URL">

URL in Variable

Specifies that the URL should be read from a specified variable.

URL from Expression

Specifies an expression as the URL to open.

URL from Converters

Specifies a list of data converters whose output is used as the URL to open.

Load Into

This property specifies which window to load the page into. The window can be an existing one or a new one. The following options are available:

Automatic specifies that the page should be loaded into the same window as a browser would. If the page is loaded from a URL in the found tag, this will take into account "target" attributes etc. on the found tag.
Existing Window specifies that the page should be loaded into a selected existing window (see the discussion on how to identify a window).
New Window specifies that the page should be loaded into a new window. An optional name for the new window can be specified, and it can be selected which window should be registered as the opener of the new window (see the discussion on how to identify a window).

Continue when: Add a wait criterion for the step. If you have several wait criteria, execution stops when any wait criterion is met. You can have several met wait criteria such as if you are waiting for two HTML elements that appear on the same load, or if you are waiting for an element on the main frame, and Initial Page Load Completes is set. For more information, see Use Wait Criteria.
Options: The robot's options can be overridden with the step's own options. An option that is marked with an asterisk in the Options Dialog will override the one from the robot's configuration. All other options will be the same as specified for the robot.

Ignore Styles: Select this option to ignore CSS styles for the loaded HTML page. The option is located below the Applications view.
