Oh, please, please tell me I'm not over my head with this. I'm employed at a company where I have to spent all day, every day, programming inside a web form. Mostly it's perl, but it gets typed into a web page field. When I'm ready to test, I click a button on that page to process the perl and see the output. I've checked, and this seems to be my only option.
What I'd like to do is write my code in BB Edit, then automatically send what's in my editor window to the appropriate textarea in the window. It'll be open in Safari, and I can get the name of the destination textarea. The button I click to start the preview process is rigged to a javascript. Any way I can also get the button to click, or somehow otherwise trip the javascript to start after it's received my textual goodness from BBEdit? Since this involved so many applications, maybe I need to write an applescript (?) that says "Get the BBEdit Code, place it in the textarea called 'foo', then trigger the javascript called 'Go' ". But I'm not sure if Applescript has that fine control. And I'd of course like to keep BBedit in control for some reason. I feel like this should be possible. I already can get my text out of BBEdit to the terminal, but to a specific form element on a page… that's tricky.
