I would like to create a program that is functionally similar to a program that automatically submits website information to search engines. The program needs to navigate the internet, fill out html forms, submit the info to the server, and move to the next website to submit to.
The reason that I can not just include the required data in the URL or in the PostData parameter of the Navigate command of the InternetExplorer control is twofold. Firstly, I do not know all of the required fields, and seem unable to obtain them, and secondly, certain websites I will need to post data to check the IP at some point, and attempts to submit directly using the Navigate command or direct URL method result in a failure due to an unknown IP address.
Essentially, I need to be able to navigate to websites from a VB program, fill out the required form fields, and press the submit button in order for the form to get processed correctly. Is this possible? If not, can you suggest a viable workaround?
Thanks,
