Thread: Questions for web experts

As it has been a day and 40 views without reply i think that noone hear has done something like that in the past. Now because i will continue searching i would like to know id this is possible with jarva or not. Also if someone is working on the snippet just post a reply in order to know it. Last if you haven't understand what i want just tell me to give a better explanation.
Thanks in advance and best regards,

Well, first of all i want to apologise to everyone who read my post because i haven't realised that it could be rude and also i think it may seem more rude to you because i am not that familiar with english language(in this post i have about 10-15 words from google translate). Appart from that, after reading your post i realised that you don't know me and thus don't have any obligation to help me. So now to answer your questions i will try to write a SSCCE but i don't think i will succeed since and i don't have any idea that i have to do what is why i asked for that snippet(an other word for sscce) but i will do my best. I started making a programm which will choose the best combination of items in order to do something now i have made it and i want to log in the website and activate that combination. But this i mean that, my programm would load the website find some specific fields and set their text to something then find a specific button and activate it, all they others are pretty the same. Now i am pretty sure that it is legal problem since there are many scripts what make pretty much the same thing with some differences . Last but now least, i want again to apologise for my post.

Ps: "do you actually want to automate the cursor and key presses to interact with the website directly?" i am not sure what you mean but i think a part of it is what i want.

Thanks in advance and Best regards,
Souperk

What I think you might be looking for is something like Selenium - Web Browser Automation or Welcome to HtmlUnit

I use it every day at work for automated testing of our applications. All our integration tests fire up a browser (in our case Firefox) and hits our web application and runs through a set of tests. Works pretty good. We especially test our Javascript that way.

Hello again, I made the snippet i had asked for using the HtmlUnit I think that there is a far better way to be done and i am looking for it but and this works for me.

The code

	public void search() 
			throws FailingHttpStatusCodeException, MalformedURLException, IOException
	{
                //load the page
		WebClient client = new WebClient();
		HtmlPage webPage = (HtmlPage) client.getPage("http://www.google.com/");
 
                //find the elements q is the name of the text field and btnG the button for submitting
		HtmlForm form = webPage.getFormByName("f");
		HtmlTextInput text = (HtmlTextInput) form.getInputByName("q");
		HtmlSubmitInput submit = (HtmlSubmitInput) form.getInputByName("btnG");
 
                //set java in the tex field and click the button
		text.setValueAttribute("java");
		HtmlPage resultPage = (HtmlPage) submit.click();
 
                //print the result    
		System.out.println(resultPage.asText());
	}

you will need all the lib folder from the htmlunit i think you don't need any specail knowledge of html for making something like this. But i think if you want togo ahead with a web bot you need to know some.

Last i want to apologise for replying late but i have to go school during the week.

Yours Souperk

Ps: i will edit the post's title and i will mark it as solved
