I would like to be able to fill in an online html form from within a cocoa program. I assume a webview will enable me to display the form within my program, but how can I fill it in with my already chosen text/string with a click of a (cocoa) button?

Alternative languages are obviously not everyone's cup o' tea, but if you're adventurous you could use CamelBones w/Perl to write your app and use the WWW::Mechanize module. It supports cookies, and can maintain a "session" through a series of form submissions, parsing the response each time to get the next form.
