Is there any way that I can create a script file or a custom link on my website that will specially enter in all of my own shipping information in this page here?
I have done some HTML programming, but I never had to deal with forms at all.
Possible? If so, will it require 200,000 lines of code and a Beowulf cluster to execute?

i don't think it's possible, since that thing is on their site. what you can do however, is find out what script the form sends the data too, and make your own webpage where the fields are already filled out. that might work.

There are some auto-filler software/plugin type things for browsers that will automatically fill in forms with your data when you press a button.

They probably made it so that it checks to see if you're submitting the form from their site or not, too, so you probably can't just put it on your hard drive and do the changes. It might work though.. give it a try.

Thanks for all the suggestions; I'll see what I can find.
Unfortunately, I believe that Gator is listed as Spyware by Lavasoft's AdAware. I'd rather not have that kind of program on my computer. :)

On zdnet or PCMag.com, try looking in their download section for A1 Roboform, I think it's still free.

Maybe the answer to your Q.

:D
