IFTA: What scripting language works with the web and browsers?

Question by johnny's mombo: What scripting language works with the web and browsers?
Is there a scripting language that locates and fills in web-browser boxes, clicks on links, etc?

Is there a scripting language that connects directly with theh web and helps you find information without using a browser - through a DOS interface for example?

I am trying to automate stock & news search for my daily research.

Thanks.

I think you would be looking at a combination of two languages.
Ie JavaScript or DHTML to help you with web-browser boxes, clicks on links and so on. However this will not work in DOS.

For DOS and Webpage try PHP. you can run PHP scripts in DOS, Windows, WebPages and so.
