Sometimes, if you're away, or out of touch, and you need to click a button on a web page around or after a specific time, you just have no choice but to come up with a script to do it.

This is what happened to me, when I need to click a button after a specific time, but I wasn't around to do it.

I decided to schedule a button click by writing Javascript and injecting it into the website I was using.

    console.log("Waiting for day " + myDate + " " + myHH+":"+myMM + " evaluating " + myButton.textContent);

      console.log("Returning..." + new Date());
      return;
    }
    console.log("Current date..." + new Date());
    if(date.getHours() >= myHH && date.getMinutes() >= myMM && myButton != null){ // Check the time
        // Do stuff
        console.log("Button clicked..." + new Date());
        myButton.click();       
        myButton = null;
        window.clearInterval(Interval1);
    } else {
      console.log("Not time yet.");
    }
}, 60000); // Repeat every 60000 milliseconds (1 minute)
