     My bad. Start-Process -FilePath "url". In fact, you don't need -FilePath to open link in the browser

    Hi,

    We can use the following method to open URL:

    $IE=new-object -com internetexplorer.application
    $IE.navigate2("www.microsoft.com")
    $IE.visible=$true

    For your reference:

    Thanks.

    My first portion for chrome works fine & i have also added the following:

    get-process | where {$_.mainwindowtitle -match "chrome"} | format-table id, name, mainwindowtitle -autosize

    but the webpage that is loaded has content

    You have logged in as
    "Road Traffic In-Charge" 
    Do you want to change the role?

    and if i need to get the text "Road Traffic In-Charge" - then on the page - if i right-click - i get to use "Inspect"

    --- which shows:::

    <div class="logincontinuemessage popup-main-content-div popup-main-content-div-continue">
    <span>You have logged in as</span><br>
    <span id="user-role">"Road Traffic In-Charge"</span>
    <br>
    <span>Do you want to change the role?</span>
    </div>

    If i were using IE - then can i can do $ie = new-object -Comobject internetexplorer.application

    which cannot be done for chrome??. So how do i get:

    - document.content

    - document text or innerText

    - innerHTML 

    - fields & values.

    Thanks

    I needed a rotator and instead of using some javascript i created a powershell one based on the code above.

    i thought i post it so someone might benefit as well.

     
    $Rotator=new-object -com internetexplorer.application
$Rotator.visible=$true
$Sleeptimer = 30
$arrURL = @("www.microsoft.com","www.redhat.com","www.suse.com")
$ii=0

While ($ii -ne ($arrURL.count +1)) {
    $Rotator.navigate2($arrURL[$ii])
    $ii += 1
    if ($ii -eq $arrURL.count){
        $ii = 0
    }
    Start-Sleep $Sleeptimer
}
