Really? The second link is for ClientForm, the description of which reads:

"ClientForm is a Python module for handling HTML forms on the client side,
useful for parsing HTML forms, filling them in and returning the completed
forms to the server."

That seems to exactly fulfil your requirements. Are you sure you really
looked?

it out, looks like what I need

Thanks

I have tried several different methods of getting a datagrid to fill with information. Below is the code I'm now using. When viewed in the browser and the text box filled with a parameter value (i.e. CA for Calif), the datagrids header is displayed when the button is clicked, but no data is displayed. I used SQL Profiler and can see that the query comes across with the parameter, and if I take that query string and use it exactly in Query...

I am playing a Windows Media File which is protected by their DRM. I want to be able to automatically fill in the form asking for payment with my saved parameters. Is there any way to do this? Note, this is not on the web - this is a desktop app that has an embedded player or using mciSendString to play the file. Thanx in advance, Anil Gupte www.keeninc.net www.icinema.com

Another request for comments here. I'd like to accomplish something like the scheme outlined at this page here: http://tinyurl.com/3dtcdr In a nutshell, the form uses javascript to hash (md5) the password field using a random one-time salt (nonce) -- generated by php and pasted in the form -- that is then posted with the hashed password
