Description

Would be nice to see more examples that cover different scenarios i.e. How to login and then visit a list of subpages in a loop - like in follow.js example but with login once at the begging.

Research direction
Review the existing follow.js example in the examples directory. Understand the login mechanism used in node horseman (likely via the `open` and `type` methods). Create a new example that demonstrates logging in once, then iterating over a list of subpage URLs, visiting each, and capturing data. Ensure the example is self contained with comments. Check issue #285 for user's specific scenario: login then loop through subpages. Add the example as a new file (e.g., login and loop.js) and include a brief README entry.
