    Hi Shawn;

    Thanks for the KW tool - it's great and your site is very well done! :)

    I'm trying to automate the lookup process so that when I login in the morning my results are all there.

    To that end I'm following your advice in that I'm using the following URL format

    http://login:password@www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/?action=lookupall
    Code (markup):
    But even when I manually enter that URL in the browser (with my username/password) it does not seem to trigger a 'Check All'.

    If I log-in later the keywords are not updated. Any ideas on why this would be? Has the URL format changed etc?

    Hi Shawn;

    No, in FireFox it just opens up to the logon screen for the tool and in IE the globe spins and all you see is a white screen. The page never opens at all using the URL above (with my proper credentials) :(

    Dunno to be honest... works okay for me. If you are automating it, you aren't going to be using a browser anyway are you?

    Wierd - I can't get it to work on Firefox or IE using the link shown above :-(

    I was going to schedule a browser window with that address and then tell it to terminate the task after 1 hour. The idea was that I would set it so that 1st thing in the morning I would have current charts to look at.

    I'm not sure what to do now or why the address doesn't seem to work. I tried it from outside the firewall to be sure it's not interfering but same thing.

    Any other ideas or methods that someone simple (like myself) could do?
