Posts: 1              Good day,

I've been trying to automate some of my mundane tasks on the internet. 

One is submitting articles to ezine articles. I'd like to figure out how to 
program the task of going to Ezine, logging in, performing an article 
submission and then logging off.

Now, I have the following tasks to handle:

1. Session cookies. Seems that ezine has a pretty complex session handling.
2. Dealing with javascript.
3. Reading the page to either confirm a submission or to record errors found on 
a page.
4. Possible handling of capcha's - present to the user for completion.

I am very new to realbasic, and yes, this is probably way beyond beginner 
level, but I did work with script automation software and kept coming up 
against dead ends. 

If you can help that would be awesome.

Thanks very much,

Frank

Location: San Diego, CA              #4. Handling capchas....

That is the reason those exist is to keep automated systems out.
While they can be beaten [look a Yahoo chat rooms sometime]... its not easy, 
and certainly not something that would or should be discussed on this forum.
