Perfect. Just what I needed. Thanks.

I'm trying to develop a script that will return a Dell system's warranty information by scraping this site:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/details?c=us&l=en&s=gen" rel="ugc">http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/details?c=us&l=en&s=gen</a><br />
<br />
If the site would use GET and I could attach the service tag to the URL, I'd be golden. Unfortunately, Dell uses javascript form to submit the service tag before a page with the relevant details comes up that the script can scrape. I've been banging my head against this for a while.<br />
<br />
Anyone know of any way to programmatically fill out and submit a javascript form?<br />

Programmatically collect Dell Warranty Info

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
