;Below example only works for firefox.


int w=win("Mozilla Firefox" "Mozilla*WindowClass" "" 0x804)
FFNode f.FindFF(w "A" "johnguo" "" 0x1001)
Acc a.FromFFNode(f)
int x y
a.Location(x y)
out F"x:{x} , y:{y}"

;Activate the below code to test it out (do not activate all at the same time, test one by one).

;; To click on link, method 1
;a.DoDefaultAction

;; To click on link, method 2
;a.Mouse(1)

;; To move mouse to link
;a.Mouse(0)

;; Output href (url-link)
;out f.Attribute("href")


;(Firefox!) To get the above code:

;;;;Or put the cursor within the double quotes of the following and then press [F2]: "FFNode help"
;2. Used the example in "FFNode help"
;3. Then defined accisble objects 'Acc a' then used memberfunction 'FromFFNode'
