writing a program to insert text in a form and click "submit" button in a browser (IE or Netscape)?
I would like to ask is there any reference and source code on writing a program to insert text in textfield in a form and click "submit" button in a browser (IE or netscape)? What programming tools can I do so ?
To add to my comment, you will need a textpad, or the ASP.NET Web Matrix, an IIS server (which comes with XP Pro) and just save this text file that contains the code that I wrote above as an .ASPX file, as such (Test.aspx).
then I'd put this in your wwwroot folder which is created when you install/enable your IIS server.
Then in your webbrowser type in http://localhost/Test.aspx
and your page should appear.
To get the free ASP.NET Web Matrix just go here <a href="www.asp.net">asp.net</a> and download it. Its a great free tool.

My situation is that the Web server is not hosted in my computer . I can only write a program to insert the text in a textfield in a form in a browser and then using my program to click the submit button ........
That mean : a user uses my program, and open a browser in his computer, he has typed in the URL that has a form inside . Then he uses my program and type a text in my program, he then clicks a button in my program and that text which is typed in my program will send to textfield in the browser that he opened.
Can your sourcecode suit my problem ?

I have already solved the problem using Visual Basic with Internet Explorer Object . I access the DOM structure of the Internet Explorer Object and simulate clicking buttons, entering texts in the textfield , etc.
Go ahead and close the question then. Thanks.

After I login to a homepage, it pop up a dialog : "Secure Information. This Page contains both secure and non-secure items. Do you want to display the non-secure items ?"
my current approach to solve this problem is to use AppActivate "Security Information" and then press enter using the keysboard event.
Would somebody tell me how can i know when the secure information dialog s pop up and then i do something after pop u p?

You probably need the EnumWindows/EnumWindowsEx API to start with. Post a q in one of the windows development TAs

If you have the .NET Framework,
I'll give you an example how to do this if you have .NET and an IIS server enabled on your computer.

Copy from here on...
------------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(sender as Object, e As EventArgs)
TextBox1.Text = "Hello"
ButtonClick() 'This right here goes to the Routine that your Button uses, so this is essentially as clicking the button.
End Sub
Sub Button1_Click(sender as Ojbect, e As EventArgs)
ButtonClick()
End Sub
Sub ButtonClick()
'Do what you want to do when your button is clicked, you didn't really say what you wanted to do.
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp:textBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" />
<br>
<asp:Button id="Button1" OnClick="Button1_Click" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
----------
Here is a code that you can copy and paste and then modify out of this what you actually need.
This code accomplished what you asked, to insert the text in a textbox and then it clicked submit buttong, although I may be interpretting that too literally and you just wanted a submit button. Which in that case you'd just take out the ButtonClick() line out of your PageLoad routine.
hope that helps you.
