So my main question is, can Rev send data to a web form like this in such a way that whatever fields we specify will be populated when the browser/form opens? Not sure if something like this is even possible. I haven't done enough web development to know. Is some special JavaScript required to accomplish this?

A simple approach would be to append a query string to the URL you open. For example, let's say you want to tell the web form script the default first name to use. You could do something like this:

launch url "http://www.mydomain.com/path/to/script.php?first_name=FIRST_NAME

It is then up to the web page (script.php in this case) to look for values in the GET query string and then populate the fields with default values.
