Hi
I am trying to fill a form and post it with icab or URL Access scripting.
Problem is I can't figure out how to send the form data so either
application can fill the form, all my attempts have resulted in a
unfilled form.
here is one failing method
set theDirectParam to
"
http://www.sunrisesunset.com/custom_srss_calendar.asp";
set file_path to "daDisk:Desktop folder:Calfile.html"
set theFlags to 1
set theFormData to ("Select a city=Billings, Montana" & "+" & "month=2" &
"year=2005" & "+" & "time_type=24-hour" & "+" & "want_twi_civ & VALUE=" &
"1" & "+" & "want_mphase VALUE=" & "1" & "+" & "want_mrms VALUE=" & "1")
tell application "iCab"
OpenURL theDirectParam to file file_path Flags theFlags FormData
theFormData
end tell
(fails using same form data with UAS)
both icab & UAS download an unfilled form instead of the resulting page.
I have looked up the archives and couldn't find anything about how to
discern the syntax for form submission or any hint on what I'm doing wrong
Thanks for any help
(Mac OS 8.6, iCab 2.95, UAS 1.0.1)
cheers
ehsan
