Automating a form post in Firefox

Question

I go to a web form, enter some info into a number of fields on the form, click the Submit button (which does a POST) and get results. I do this frequently and would like to automate this process. I mainly use Firefox. I've looked at Watir but perhaps overkill for my needs.

Suggestions?

Answer 1

Watir or Watin are perfect for what you want, and aren't heavyweight. I use them all the time.

Answer 2

have a look at simple to use selenium plugin

Answer 3

Watir would handle this with ease. If you provide sample HTML and let me know what you want to do, I will create a Watir script.

Answer 4

Watir's a great tool to get familiar with for UI automation. I don't quite understand the SU comment above, but it will work for what you're looking to accomplish. The additional side benefit is that you get to learn and/or work with Ruby. :)
