I think something along the lines of "Net.Post(something)" is how it is done...but I am not sure. </p> <p>I am currently using F#, and I have figured out how to parse links. I also figured out how to catch the various search bars and submission buttons with regexes.<br> I would like to use my code to search for something on a search engine by specifically: </p> <p><strong>First</strong>, obtaining the HTML</p> <p><strong>Second</strong>, Scraping the HTML for the various buttons, text bars, and links</p> <p><strong>Third</strong>, use some unknown method/device/tool/function to send a search thread to a text box...</p> <p><strong>Fourth</strong>, Simulate an actual mouse click on the submit "button" that appears on the website...</p> <p>...</p> <p>Then, upon reciept of the server's response, pull the HTML from the next site.<br> Here is my link code as it stands:</p> <pre><code> type Url(x:string)= member this.Tostring = sprintf "%A" x member this.Request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(x) member this.Response = this.Request.GetResponse() member this.Stream = this.Response.GetResponseStream() member this.Reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(this.Stream) member this.Html = this.Reader.ReadToEnd() let linkex = "href=\s*\"[^\"h]*(http://[^&amp;\"]*)\"" let getLinks (txt:string) = [for m in Regex.Matches(txt,linkex) -&gt; m.Groups.Item(1).Value ] let collectLinks (url:Url) = url.html |&gt; getLinks </code></pre> <p>... I know how to grab the search box strings and whatnot...the question is, when I go to, say, google.com and grab the search bar the same way I grab the links, update the value field with my search string, how do I then submit the updated search bar to google's server?</p> <p>Secondly, how do I do it if I want to update it and then simulate a mouse click? </p> <p>In other words, I want to interact with websites the way the user interacts with websites. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
