I am sorry, but your question is really beyond the scope of our list.
It would seem that a javascript request is opened requiring login with
username and password. You can register at this site for free on this
page:
http://www.matimop.org.il/regisfrm.htm
Try to use WWW4Mail or a Getweb server to fill in the forms. After
successfully registering at the site, then use WWW4Mail to login to the
site in this manner:
<Excerpt from the WWW4Mail Help file>
Requesting Password-protected Web/FTP sites
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
User authentication support for password-protected sites is also
available by www4mail. To access such Web site/pages conforming to the
pattern `protocol://username:password@site/directory' you need to know
(and then pass on) the correct USERNAME and PASSWORD.
In these cases send an e-mail
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: (... whatever you like)
and write in the body of the e-mail:
http://username:password@site/path
or
ftp://username:password@site/path
where site/path is the machine,domain,directory,file you want to
retrieve and the @-sign is used to separate the string
`username:password' from the site/path.
Once you have received the www4mail reply, you will be able to navigate
to such protected pages without further authentication. www4mail will
do it automatically for you.
Of course, you can get the same information in the body of a e-mail
message and as a plain text file, by adding the GET or SEND options, or
as an HTML source adding GET SOURCE, SOURCE or XSOURCE options.
BUT PLEASE NOTE passwords passed this way, like everything else under
e-mail, are not necessarily private, because:
- www4mail logs in all transactions locally.
- HTTP/FTP transactions with any server via e-mail are unencrypted
and may be intercepted on the Internet.

I am not sure this will work since it is a javascript login. You
really need better expertise in these matters than our list can provide
you. I strongly recommend you subscribe to the ACCMAIL list:
TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
SUBJECT: {Leave Blank}
BODY: SUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL yourfirstname yourlastname
If you do not presently have the help file of a WWW4Mail server, then
send for it now:

SUBJECT: {Leave Blank}
