It *might* be possible using frames. Create a frameset with one frame and
load the login page into it. When the page is loaded, the frameset can
populate the form with username and password. Your frameset would something
like the following, assuming the form in the main page is called "frm" and
the username and password elements are called "txtUsername" and
"txtPassword".
<html>
<head>
<title>Frames</title>
<script language="javascript">
function populate()
{
var p = parent.frames["body"];
p.frm.elements["txtUsername"].value = "username";
p.frm.elements["txtPassword"].value = "password";
}
</script>
</head>
<frameset>
<frame name="body" src="loginpage.aspx" onload="populate()">
</frameset>
</html>
I've tested this code locally, and it works. However, I'm not sure it would
work if the frameset and login page are in different domains, as this would
be a security risk.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
we have 2 www systems one which we wrote ourselves the other is a
parent company one over which we have no control. The 2nd system involves the
user having to enter a username & password in a login screen. Is there any way
of calling the 2nd systems login page and having the username & password be
inserted automatically? This auto passing in of information might also be
applied to optins selection so instead of manually clicking on several
buttons to get to where we want to go we just send a string with the
options included.
I have checked and there seems to be no facility for page parameters in
the 2nd system so "xxx.sh?login=uname?pwd=password" isnt going to work.
Thanks in advance
Paul M.
