Does anyone know how to find/print the incoming call info that appears on screen when a call comes in on the telephone line?

Thanks in advance.

Hi englishman,

I don't know what your full application is, tell me what software you are using, what is the actual application of the phone transaction. What OS are you using. Tell me what is appearing on screen, in what application are you trying to catch it, is this an incoming fax?? Are you trying to do it fast, automatic, on the fly? As a list, aggregated, or one by one??

Joe,

I am on a mac running Mac OS 10.3.6.

I only have dial up at the moment, I have caller id on my phone.

I can be using any application -BUT- I have to be on the internet when this happens.

What happens is: for about 2-3 seconds a small separate text field about 3x3 displays the name and telephone number of the person calling appears in front of the web page I am on.

If I was quick enough I could do a screen capture.

I think this might be a java script that is set off by the incoming call, as I have call id on my phone. But for the life of me I cannot find it, even when I do a search for "incoming call".

Example:
incoming call

OK, so are you using safari, or what browser. If you could instantly save the html of the browser to an html on your desktop, would it contaiun that info? You may do a view source when it happens, see if it is in the source. If so, I can help you capture that to a file quicfkly, but will require a click to the doc or some quick manual trigger like that.

Joe,

Yes I am using Safari. I do not know which application is providing the information. My belief is that it is part of the system software.

So you think that if I download source when it happens I an extract the info? It flashes onto the screen for about 2 seconds or the time it takes for the phone to ring twice.

What about past occassions?

TIA

John

OK, Yes, under the view menu in safari. Next time it happens, hit that key command quickly. Then inspect that source to see if the info is in that. My guess is that in order to be displayed there, it must convert to html, therefore can be caught, captured, saved. So, manually, lets test that out with this view source. If sorce includes that phone info, I can help you extract it and save it. I believe it is dynamic and will not be able to go find past calls. And I think unless you are there to hit the button, I don't know of another way to monitor it, automate it. But, first things first, lets see if we can catch the info in html manually, then with a script, see what we can do after that.

Joe,

Thanks for the input, will attempt that!!

Good Luck,

Hi Englishman, Did that work? I used to live in Dallas area for years, worked over by Love Field. Are you a Cowboys fan? Although hard to keep faith, I'm a big Cowboys fan myself. I miss Texas BIG TIME. Born and raised there. If I were in Dallas today, I'd go straight to Herrera's for lunch and eat mexican food till it hurt. Or, maybe Uncle Julio's, damn that's the real deal. Nothing like that up here in Ohio.
