Q: 

How do I set the value of a textarea in a browser using Automator

I would like to grab whatever text is selected in an application, then open a web page and set the value of a textarea on that page to the selected text. I can't find any way to set the text. I can get the selected text and open the web page, but setting the text is eluding me.
