ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a system for controlling in order to automatically fill in web enabled forms on a target web site. The system includes a web information database file containing a plurality of records relating to a plurality of web sites, including the target web site. Each record contains a plurality of information fields including an address field having the URL of the web site and a soft coding field. The soft coding field contains the particular coding instructions required by the web browser application to log onto, navigate and populate the web enabled forms of the web site at the URL. The system also includes a web agent application, the web agent application configured to read the web information database file and search the information contained in the web information database file in response to the search parameter information. The web agent application is configured to generate a packet of information corresponding to the search, said packet of information containing a least one web site URL and the search parameters used. The web interact application is also configured to read information from the web information database file and to read the packet of information from the web agent application. The web interact application is also configured to launch the web browser application to open a browser window and to control the operation of the web browser window. The web interact application is further configured to cause the browser application to navigate to the target web site by inserting the URL of the target web site into the browser. Finally, the web interact application is further configured to use the soft coding instructions to cause the web browser application to populate web enabled forms on the target web site with parameter data from the information package.
