Pasting a value to a website's text box automatically

[neosam]

Hi,

I am currently doing a project, where i need to search an application for certain data. the application is a HTML page (like an internal web site). The tool that i am making needs to paste a value in a particular text box. Is it possible to have that done....

Thanks
Neo

Yes its possible

There are a miriad of ways to do it though, and other specifics. Like is the page a .asp page? straight HTML? php? aspx?

Essentially thought you need to write your value to a database, a file, or into a querystring (anything that can pass data to the page) and then fill the value of the text box with whatever you pass.

This is what the print out would look like if the page is .asp, just as a very default example

<input type="text" name="mytxt" value="<%=MyPassedValue%>">

Hi.

I am not really sure if that is a HTML or ASP page. Could you tell me what is the sureshot way of finding that out.

Thanks

If the file you are wanting to work with has a .asp extension or a .html or .htm extension is how you can tell what kind of page it is.
