I'd try better IE, whose command "do script" to access DOM via javascript
is extremely powerfull. A brief example to enter data in forms (open
Google):
set jscode to "document.f.q.value='whatever';
document.f.submit();"
-- f: name of the form (look at page's source code)
-- q: name of text field to fill
-- value: value
-- submit(): javascript method to submit a form
tell application "Internet Explorer"
do script jscode
end tell
If you don't know elements' names or elements have no name, you can access
them by index:
Set jscode to "document.forms[0].elements[0].value='whatever'"
Anyway, you could send the remote app which will process the info the data,
just as the browser does it. Same result, different concept:
tell application "Internet Explorer"
GetURL "
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=whatever";
end tell
--> hl: language, a hidden field into the form
--> ie: codification
--> q: query, the value you "entered" into the text field, url-encoded
