Using Javascript to fill in forms

Hallo,

is it possible, to use javascript to automatically fill in forms,
once a site is loaded ?
that means, i would write a small html document, which has javascript
embedded.
it would first load a new site, and then fill out the forms by
'form path'

???

Hi,

Yes, that is where JS is good at: forms.
eg: to change the value of some textfield named 'mytext', in a form named
'myform', try:
document.forms. myform.mytext.v alue='new value';

But you better get your hands on a good book, because the details of all the
elementtypes is too much to describe. (radio, checkboxes, text, textarea,
select, etc).

'Javascript, the definitive Guide', by O'Reilly would be a good choice in my
opinion.

Erwin Moller

No, what you are describing can't be done. It is a security violation to
try to script a document from another domain. If you are wanting it for
personal use, you can use a bookmarklet that when clicked can fill out a
form.

I'm trying to write a program in vb.net to automate filling out a series of forms on a website. There are three forms I need to fill out in sequence. The first one is urlencoded.

Is it possible to get a file without using a form post? I want to get the data (bytes) of a file, text or binary, and just save it to a variable. Similar to the post body of a form that has a file input element in it. Ultimately what I want to do is get a file off client machine (that they specify) and send it to the server using a standard post request. This is exactly the same as a form post with an file input element, but I don't...
