Navigate on another website using Javascript (Fill out a searchField and click search)

Question

It is just that, I have a button that opens the website, but I can't figure out how to fill that field on that website and search for the String that I'm providing. I really don't know where to look for this.

Right now, I open the website with :window.open(url); but that's it.

Using console, I can fill the txtInput using this $('#txtBuscar').val('geo');

Then click the button with this: $('#btnBuscar').click();

But I don't know how to do this from my function... Any ideas on what to use?

Website is https://www.mercadopublico.cl/Home

They don't, that's why I'm trying to figure out how to do it. I'm not quite sure if it's possible. I'm kinda new to Javascript — Tatan Iglesias Nuñez, Mar 23 '18 at 18:47
you cant do it , you need to use python or php i belive there is a module on pyton that will allow you to do it , but you cant do it with pure js — Abslen Char, Mar 23 '18 at 18:51

I think you can't do that. Because when you use window.open(url); the browser opens a new window with url, but you script will be running in the previous window.

You could have the new site open up in an iframe on your page and then navigate the dom with your pages javaScript.

You cannot do this without getting a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) error.

Unless the site you are accessing allows it, you cannot access the code.

See How does Access-Control-Allow-Origin header work? for a full explanation.
