my goal is to automate filling up a form on one of our sources' website. I made a PHP page and added a frame in the middle which displays (src) the sources' website form. How can I add a javascript or PHP code so entries and the submit buttons are clicked?
I tried researching but so far none gave good ideas. I just need an idea or keyword on what I should be researching for and I will modify this page to help others who are trapped in the same issue as mine.
The typical way to populate a form is to "pre-populate" the values in the page that comes to the user's browser:
<input type="text" id="FirstName" name="FirstName" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($FirstName);?>" />
you can use Javascript if you wish to populate aftewards, but I don't do this that much as a rule, but here's a simple line:
document.getElementById('FirstName').value='Johnny';
Hope this gets you started. Note that I would avoid iframes because of inherent difficulties in communicating - it's typically not done. There is also ajax but that's another story. Sounds like you need to search the basics.
