What I mean by that: as long as you're talking about HTML forms, the
browser GUI is entirely optional. (In the old days, the browser
itself was entirely optional, but with all the client-side stuff in
modern forms, that's not so much the case.) Everything you can
possibly do GUI-wise just results in some Javascript code being
executed, or some internal browser functionality being triggered that
is also exposed through Javascript. You have to figure out what that
call is, of course :), but you shouldn't ever have to use GUI
scripting for browser apps that are based on HTML and Javascript.
If it's Flash or something, that's another matter.
