Possible to script a website login into a link?

Raphael

Heyo,

I'm working on a wedding website for a friend, and am having difficulty with a really badly designed website they're using for a registry.

The site is: http://www.irishhoneymoonregistry.com/guest/default.asp

In order to get at their registry you enter the first and last name of the Bridge & Groom and the date, then press go. If all the details are exactly right, it generates a cookie and sends you to the registry website.

They've asked me to try and automate this process in some way, and I'm drawing a blank - I mainly just hack stuff together when working with sites, so my knowledge is kinda hodge-podge.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use a script and autofill those fields, and want to point me in the right way to figuring it out? Would be much appreciated.

Apologies if this is badly placed, btw, seemed like the best forum.

hi,

the action of the form on the registry website posts the data fields
sPerson1FirstName
sPerson1LastName
sPerson2FirstName
sPerson2LastName
iweddingdate
iweddingmonth
iweddingyear

to
http://www.irishhoneymoonregistry.com/guest/act_login.asp

which if you go directly to that link it gives you a nice error page with the line number etc but thats another issue

so from your website call that act_login.asp with your friends details in the fields it should achieve what you are looking for
easy way would be to just copy the form part from the registry site and specify the value attribute for each field

i'm sure you can build a http post within jquery so you could just link from your site
