    I am very familiar with programming with Java, but I am not sure how to implement this.
    I am trying to create a program that takes user info, changes it up a little bit and then runs a series of events with the new information.
    Here's the basic idea:
    -User inputs information
    -program changes it up a little bit
    -a new window or tab appears
    -new piece of information is inserted into a form on a different website
    -and the submit button is clicked on that website

    Anyone have any ideas on how I can implement this?
    I know a little about macros, but could this be used to make this work?
    Also, if anyone thinks they can program this, PM me a quote.

    There are some browser automation tools around, just do a search for them. You should be able to script it out fairly simply.

    Hi,

    There are lot of scripting languages available. U can do such kinda automated things using waitr scripts. U can have data on a excel sheet and u can use it to automate the process. Please google on how to us the waitr scripts. It is very simple. U need to use ruby to code it and waitr library to run it.

    Please refer this link: wiki . openqa . org/display/WTR/Tutorial

    Hope this helped you!!
