Uhm... not easy at all...
Look at the source of the page. If it is a "good" page, then you will
see something like:
<form>
...
<button> name=... ... method="GET" (or: method="POST")
...
</form>
In that case, you must construct an http request which resolves to
something like "http://ahost.com/cgi-bin/...?blah1=1&blah2=anothervalue&...";
The above is good for "method=get"; everything following the "?" are
couples of "name=value" taken from the other elements of the form. If
method is "post", things get more complicated because you must send data
along with the http request, instead of encoding the data in the URL.
Fortunately, sometimes, you can use GET even if the form says "POST";
sometimes, you can even ignore values.
If the button is linked to a javascript routine (you see something like
<button> onclick="..."), I don't know. You should convince your browser
to execute the code... sounds difficult. Are you using the gambas
browser component? May be that you find something about it; I've never
used it and I don't know it - sorry.
