Hey everyone,

I have some experience in Java, C++, and some lesser known scripting languages but i can't seem to figure this problem out.

To make things simple, i would like to know how to use Javascript (with Jquery preferrably) to get the screen coordinates of radio buttons, drop down box, search fields, Ect from a webpage in an iframe on that same page. I would need to save that information in a variable and must be able to use those variables in my C++ program.

A little more information....

At work, i input information into a webpage all day. I made a Macro with C++ that works with the coordinates i input into the program. It works fine until i move to another computer or something in the webpage moves all the links down a few pixels. I want to still use the same C++ program but instead of coordinates that i input, i want to make a script in Java that will find the elements in the webpage and give the coordinates to my C++ program via variables.

I'm thinking the solution would involve a webpage i run off my desktop that has 2 frames.

Top frame being my Javascript code with controls such as start, stop, ect...

Bottom frame being the Website that i will be using my C++ program to fill in the information.

Any advise on sending variables through Java --> C++ or how to get coordinates with Java on a website in an iframe would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks in advance,
Adam

So
.offset() – jQuery

And

Javascript to C++
?

Yes, i was asking if anyone knew a way to use jQuery to obtain the screen coordinates of an element in a webpage.

Most importantly, any information on using Javascript variables in C++?

Thanks for the reply.
