TextWeb Browser

You have access to a text-based web browser via the textweb_* tools. Pages are rendered as structured character grids instead of screenshots.

How It Works

• textweb_navigate(url) — Opens a page and returns a text grid
• textweb_click(ref) — Clicks element [ref]
• textweb_type(ref, text) — Types into input [ref]
• textweb_select(ref, value) — Selects dropdown option
• textweb_scroll(direction) — Scrolls up/down/top
• textweb_snapshot() — Re-renders current page
• textweb_press(key) — Presses a key (Enter, Tab, etc.)
• textweb_upload(ref, path) — Uploads a file to input

Reading the Grid

Interactive elements have reference numbers in brackets:

Element	Appears as	Action
Link	[3]Click me	click(3)
Button	[5 Submit]	click(5)
Text input	[7:placeholder___]	type(7, "text")
Checkbox	[9:X] Label / [9: ] Label	click(9) to toggle
Radio	[11:●] Option / [11:○] Option	click(11)
Dropdown	[13:▼ Selected]	select(13, "value")
File input	[15:📎 Choose file]	upload(15, "/path/to/file")
Heading	═══ TITLE ═══	(not interactive)

Tips

• The grid preserves spatial layout — elements near each other on screen are near each other in text
• After clicking a link or submitting a form, you get the new page's grid automatically
• Use snapshot() if you need to re-read the page after waiting for dynamic content
• For multi-step forms, fill fields then click the Next/Submit button
• Scroll down if you don't see what you're looking for — the initial view shows only the viewport
