Automatic Options

Hello everybody!!!

I'm new to this list and to JavaScript too. As a freshman I'd like to
know if it's possible to solve the following problem:

I have to access a page where there are some combo boxes with many
options and after choosing the right options I have to click on a
button to see the desired results (the combos' content is like a
filter to a query).

The result is a table of values and this table is generated in HTML (I
saw the page's source code).

The page I want to access is a php page and I don't know if it uses
some database for storage of values.

My doubt is if with JavaScript I can do a script to automatically
connect to the site, choose all possible options inside all the combo
boxes and execute the button to go to the next page where the results
are shown. After that I'd like to store locally the table that
contains all the values I need to do my job.

I'm asking a solution to this problem because there are about almost a
thousand of options to choose and it's painful to do it by hand.

Javascript would be your worst option for this task. Javascript can choose the options, and submit the form thus taking you to the next page, but you will have to save the table manually. I suggest Python for this mission. It is immensly simple to learn and very effective. You will be able to download the table, programmatically extract its contents, and put them wherever you like!

    If you're running a fairly recent kernel, probably not. Older kernel versions required
    scsi-emulation to be set up for the drives, but recent versions support direct ATAPI/IDE access. If
    you're using a 2.6.x version kernel, you almost certainly are ready to go. An easy way to test
    if direct ATAPI access is available is to install cdrecord (mentioned below) and issue the command

  4. Automatic/remote Php Script Execution

    Hi, I was wondering, is it possible to execute a PHP script when a user isn't on the page with

    was last active, it logs them off? So that if they've closed the window, it doesn't keep
    them marked as logged in. Also, is there any way, with PHP to alert a user when something changes,
    as soon as it happens? Say that if they recieve a new message, a box pops up telling them? You could
    do this with Ajax I suppose, but (correct me if I'm wrong) continually runni....

    So far m^e has made us aware of two variables for custom BBcodes: {option} and {content}. But what
    if you want to have multiple options for a tag, like, maybe foreground color and background color?
    To do this all it takes is a simple php script. If you remember parameters from DOS, it is jsut one
    list of words or symbols separated by spaces. Contrary to popular belief, this parameter list is
    one large variable in a program that gets parsed into smaller variables. That is exactly what we do
    for multiple options. As an example, I'm going to use a simple highlight....
