What's Everyone Saying about DéjàClick?
Pure Genius! "I love this thing! All you do is click the orange button ( ) at the [top] to start recording; enter a URL and begin browsing; then, press it again to stop and bookmark your recording. No coding. No scripting. Nada. You can even hide the tool bar and it still works the same. Pure Genius!" (www.clipmarks.com)
Addictive! "I have found this little Firefox addon to be profoundly useful and quite addictive! I now have bunches of bookmarked scriptlets that I use all the time and can't live without. I recommend hiding its toolbar during normal use, since you don't really need it to record or replay your scripts. Neat stuff." (stumbleupon.com) Awesome! "This extension is one of a kind. The uses are limitless. The ability to create an automated bookmark alone is worth it. I love it." (posting from Mozilla Addons) "A neat little add-on called DéjàClick remembers the clickable web links on a page in an easy-to-access format. It's a great research tool for extracting links from web pages." (griffinsgadgets.blogspot.com) DéjàClick helps life become simpler. "To accomplish certain online tasks, we need to go through a set of specified steps. To check e-mail, access the provider's log in page, key in the account details and move over to the inbox page. Each of these steps has to be repeated whenever we check mail. If it could be accomplished by just clicking a browser button, life becomes simpler. DéjàClick, created for helping you record multi-step online tasks and replay it later with a mouse click, serves such needs." (www.hindu.com) Don't we hate those boring repetitious tasks we perform everyday on the Internet? "Open this web site, log into that forum, check the ebay auctions, read mail accounts and rss feeds. Wouldn't it be nice to start all of this with just a few clicks? That is not the only thing that you can do with the Firefox add-on DéjàClick. It can be useful for web site testing or e-learning as well. Want to show your clients how something is done in the browser? Why not create a script that shows them exactly how? Recording starts with the click on the record button and from that moment on everything you do in Firefox is recorded until you press the stop button." (www.ghacks.net) The Super Bookmark add-on described by users above is a free standalone product available to all, but it also serves as the front end for AlertSite's sophisticated end user experience monitoring system. Our customers employ the same easy-to-use scripting and playback features to monitor sophisticated transactions such as purchases from multiple geographic locations. The same Monitoring Console used by AlertSite customers for alerts, queries, and reports also incorporates the features necessary to monitor DéjàClick performance results.
