Hi,
I've got a fairly extensive data entry task to perform in a PHP application. The application allows you to enter one data set at a time (first name, last name, email), click 'Go', and then uses AJAX to submit the data and blanks the form, putting your cursor back in the first input. I have a data set of 1,300 that needs to be entered using this method. It's currently in an Excel file, but of course that could just as easily be in a database, a CSV, etc.
This is by no means to exploit a site or application, it's to enter user data from an old site into a new one. I'm looking for a way to automate this entry - populate email, populate first name, populate last name, submit the form, delay a second for the response (this is running locally so it should be snappy), select a new row to insert, repeat.
Edit - I absolutely realize that JS isn't the right technology for this job, but I'm confident it can work. The ONLY reason I'm trying to use JS here is because that's the one language capable of getting this done that I'm comfortable with, and doesn't require a ton of work within the application. I can only use other technologies if it's really spelled out.. normally I'd go for the learning route, but I simply can't this time. Sorry to be so picky!
