I think I saw something about this quite a while ago but can't find the
reference.  When using altBrowser or other Rev/browser interactions, can I
script an interaction with a web page?  An example might be where a web page
may have a search field and a search button and Rev has the search argument
filed in a database.  Can Rev put the search argument in the search field
and click the search button?  Jim

Jim, depending on how the search is done, the parameters often become
part of the address for the results page. e.g. for Google, if I search
for "Revolution", the address for the search page is
<http://www.google.com/search?q=Revolution> (and some other encoding
stuff).

So if you wanted to script a Google search directly, just replace
"Revolution" with whatever you wanted in the link I quoted, and you
will get directly to the results page instead of to the search entry
page.

A lot of search pages work this way, so try them manually and check
the address of the result to see if this method will work.

Cheers,
Sarah
