HTML form fill

This is really a combined Java/HTML question;

I have a Java app I'm writing and it will require a license. To request a license, the java opens a particular website where the user will fill in some html forms and click "submit". So far, no problems.

But, there is a long license request key, and I'd like to avoid making the user type this in by hand - I want the java to pass the key to the webpage and fill in that value automatically.

Is there a way to do this?

Off the top of my head a quick way to do it would be to format the url to carry a parameter and use Javascript/Perl/PHP to fill in the value.

Example (append the license to the url)

http://www.yourpage.com/yourform.htm?12345565656

On the page:

var query = window.location.search.substring(1);

function getLicense() {

if(query != '')

//Set the value of your input box with the value of query

}

</script>

I thought of that, but I wanted to avoid the hassle of changing the webpage (which I don't have direct access to)I would prefer a totally java based solution if one is possible. Thanks for your reply though

You could always do your form as part of the Java application and POST the information to the script that handles the html form, just a thought.-JordanMessage was edited by: jwarzech
