the bid amount field stays green even if one or more bids have been placed.


For sure there are some other odd things left. ebay changed half of the site Sad
I just wanted to give a quick solution to get BOM back to its basic work.

One day you'll have to document what these mean. Lines like

ansLoginOk="bstab-padd"
ansLoginOk2="SIGNEDIN"
ansUserField="user"

are too cryptic to decode (Only Clear If Already Known - OCIAK).

It's not the "bstab-padd" that puzzles me - it's the ansLoginOk=

"ans" are strings to look for
"cmd" are commands to call in an url.

LoginOk is the tag that comes around when the login was ok and LoginOk2 is an alternativ string to look for.

UserField is the name of the html form field where the username has to be entered.

But this means nothing to you until you know the source code and see how BOM uses these fields. There is lots of special stuff around. Most are easy, look for "ansTitle", then look for "ansTitleStart" and start capturing until you find "ansTitleEnd" but there are some special cases.

I was thinking about switching all this to regular expression because they are more powerful and allow many alternative expressions without need to change code for searching alternatives but VB6 doesnt offer regex and addons will have to be installed and so on...
