Does anyone know how I can access a particular website from within a java program and perform some operations on it?

Check the API's; look at URLConnection.What kind of operations are you trying to perform on what kind of files, though?

I am trying to hit buttons, select items from a menu, as well as use a "browse" command to input a file.

Wait, so, for instance, you want to make a program that will, say, go to this forum, fill out a form for posting a message, and click the post button... all from an applet or application? Or something of that sort? 'Cause I reckon 'twould be pretty hard to do that (if it's possible)...

yep, that's what I am trying to do. I looked at the API's and haven't found anything other than methods for reading from websites.

Why don't you do this.Put all those forms online. Then in your program have it open up a browser display inside your program that calls the pages and gives the feel of being inside your program.-Wiley
