I would like to automate a procedure where I have to
1. surf to a certain web page (ex :http://www.ch.embnet.org/software/TMPRED_form.html
2. paste a little text in a form (this text is always different)
3. press the submit button
4. save the resulting page

I'm new to javascripts, I dont even know if what I'm asking is possible but could anyony give me advise on this.

thanks in advance Wouter

You must user a server-side language, such as, PHP, CGI/Perl, or ASP. Javascript is client-side and therefore does not have acess to writing files to the server. :)

I'm verry new to internet programming , but , if I want to use server side language, don't I need right to log into the server, I'm just trying to emulate normal webbrowsing , and filling in forms.

but if you could assure me I can do It with perl I would be helped a lot.

thx.

Yes, that could be done with Perl, or any other server side language.
