I don't know about an AS solution, but it may be done using JavaScript. Have a look at the AutoFill page <http://www.efritz.net/AutoFill2b.html>. You can set it up with custom fields, by deciphering what's what in the source code of the login page of the investment firm's site. You then assign it to a Bookmark in your browser.

It might be an option!

I have a friend who uses Safari to manage his investment accounts through the web-browser interface at his investment firm's site.

The log-in page asks for things like account name, account number, and password, each in a separate field. Then the Return key is pressed, and his account summary is displayed.

He has asked if it is possible to initiate an Applescript for each separate account that will automatically fill in each field -- and send a Return key character -- with different information depending on which account the script is for.

Security issues aside (ie, anyone could initiate a script and gain access to his accounts), is this possible? If someone is familiar with what is involved in such a task, would you please summarize the separate steps required to write such a script? Could someone with sufficient skill to write a basic web page (but a separate skill set, I know) successfully write such a script? Or is it much more complicated than that?

Thanks,
Dave
