Auto browser open, form field fill batch script.

(1/3) > >>

foolios:
Something like this:
start iexplore "http://www.google.com/search?q=whatever"

But that only works for a page like that one.

I was hoping for one that would work on all pages. Opens a browser window, directs to a page and then fills a form field with a word.

For example something similar doesn't work on the following page:

http://www.crissangel.com/login
where the form field is named: account[email]

start iexplore "http://www.crissangel.com/login?account[email]=whatever"

Thanks in advance

I am pretty sure that FARR can do this for the type of example that you gave with the Google one, and for sites other than Google.

Now if you mean opening a browser and going to a page and filling in a login form and submitting it for you, I don't know of any application that can do that.

hi foolios!

It's impossible to have something create a link like the one you asked for, that kind of stuff is a webdesigner's (or webprogrammer or whatever) choice, if the person that made the site chooses to use the POST or the GET method. (in the case of the site you showed for example, it's neither, as it is a flash website). If the person who made the site chose the GET method (which is the default method, btw), it's possible to have such a link. If they chose the POST, there's no way.

For more info, check this w3.org article on submit forms.


The other option would be to have something like roboform do it for you, and as soon as you entered that site, the program would fill the form for you. (at least, that's how i think it works)

foolios:
Well, I don't want the script to submit the page.
That's not a big deal for me.

But what I would like is that a field in the form on the page gets a word put in for me so that I don't have to manually type it.

I was hoping for a script. That way I wouldn't have to use any special software, just be able to go to any system with a batch file on my usb stick, double click my batch file, and walla the webpage that opens up will have my name or whatever in a particular field already. Then I can continue filling in the rest of the form and afterwards submitting it manually.

So far the script I have opens a web browser, directs to the page, but only at certain pages like google that accept string addendiums(sp?) does it work. I was hoping for a way to do it on any web page.

But if it's not possible this way, does autohotkey create exe's? Or does autohotkey have to be installed on the system that I use their custom scripts for.

I was hoping for something general, every kind of case thing.

Thanks for the replies.

And there's a DC thread on Roboform (one of several, I think - lots of people here really like it) here
