How can I write a web form filler that does not require displaying each step?

110 100+
I am trying to write a program that will go to a specific website, fill in 2 text fields, then submit them. The two text fields are listed as "name=weblink" and "name=picture", the submit button is listed as :
<input type="submit" value="Save Changes">

I have read about using webbrowser tools in the form, and httpwebrequest and watin, but I'm so lost at this point.

It seems that it is possible to have the program call to the url, post data to the two text fields, then run the submit button all without loading the page to view (it seems that doing it without viewing the page would make the event go faster?)

Can someone please help me figure out what method is going to be the best route to take on this?

The reason I want it to be quick is that it will be loading multiple urls (1 at a time) then submitting the fields, then load the next link. Basically a bot to autofill forms on multiple urls.
