Well, that actual button clicking can't be done with Rev, but you can
simulate it by passing the parameters with the url string that would
normally be sent when you click the button in a ' get url ' call. For
example, suppose I had a simple form on a web page for name and email
address with a "submit" button. When the submit button is clicked, it sends
that data to the CGI on the server (let's say it's
"www.123.com/cgi-bin/testcgi"). I could simulate the submit button for the
person "Test" with email address "test@test.com" like this:
put urlEncode("Test") into tName
put urlEncode("test@test.com") into tEmail
get url("http://www.123.com/cgi-bin/testcgi?"; & tName & "&" & tEmail)
--> now "it" contains the source of the page that would be displayed after
the submit button was pressed
Hope this helps...
