I need to have a simple program made.

The program will read any website that I choose. The sites will have a timer counting down to 0h 0m 0s.  I need a simple program that will recognize when the site reaches 0h 0m 1s and activate the left mouse button.

Anyone have ideas?  I'm not fluent in java or any browser languages.  And my VB is REAL rusty.

Record and playback is your friend here. I'd try for a free version of "robot" or something else like quicktime if I remmeber the name.
Cool.

I wish it were that simple.

It's an auction site where the 'ending' time isn't really the ending time.  For every bid that someone puts in, the time is increased by 20 seconds.  I'm trying to avoid sitting at the computer for HOURS on end waiting for an auction to end...  Sometimes there's not many people online bidding so the auction ends early... sometimes it takes DAYS.

Technically, no.


I got 143 free bids.  I might as well try and get something for nothing, right? lol

That site makes a SHYTLOAD of money on small ticket items.  The biggest I've seen was an HP digital camera.  Retail would be 250. It ended up with about 3000 bids.  At a price of 33 cents per bid,  that site profited almost 1000 on a cheapo camera.

Swoopo types ... I got 40 free bids ... no clue, they selling crap like cameras etc. No bike parts ... sheesh.

annguyen: shoot me a pm and give me some details. I would like to see if this is something that I can do for you. It would give me a challenge and a chance to learn something using Java or building a plug in or something.
