IDEA: A quick script to enter some info and have it open some links

I play warcraft and very frequently need to look up people and check their equipment, reputation, board posts etc. So far I've managed to do it all individually at the search page I made at http://www.computerwhatever.com/ww/search.html, but I know there's a way to make it so I only have to enter the realm and playername once and have it open a website with all those searches done automatically.

It seems as simple as taking in 2 variables, realm and username, then plugging those variables in to the url or feeding it to the page via the form post method.

I was playing with ahk but I'm horrible when it comes to variables, and also couldn't figure out how to make all the pages show up in the same browser window like via frames.

I'm sure someone with some actual coding skills can do this in 10 seconds :p

btw, i happen to have a ready script in ahk, so what are the url, parameters & etc?

p.s. a bookmarklet/favelet could do the trick as well.

Well here's an example of what I would use it for. On that page all the searches are geared for Balnazzar since it's the server I play on. I have to kinda hardcode the server variable with hidden inputs and stuff, then pass the playername variable in via the input box. Instead of 4 separate input boxes that are all individually asking for the player name, I'd rather ask once and then pass the playername variable to all 4 input boxes and open them on the same browser page separated by frames or something. :p

I guess I really just need to know how to take the playername and inject it into the <form> code for all 4 :(

sabot7726, here's a proto-type of what i had made but i'm still working on the frames. btw, something came up so i'll post this after the weekend.

Wow sweet :) Can't wait.

Oh to clarify, the thottbot, curse, wowhead and google searches are for anything like equipment and quest information. The armory, forum post, warcraftrealms.com and rep calc search boxes are the only ones that have a need for the realm and name input boxes.

Are you using ahk to make it?

:)
