Hey guys I actually updated my previous post because why buy it if you can build it right?

But I'm trying to figure out how to build a web form filler similar to Roboform that allows the user to create a series of values like username, password, etc and then be able to navigate to a website and have a web form filled out automatically.

What would be the best route to begin this type of application?

Dictionary of all possible web elements that a form could have?

Not looking for code but the right path to begin programming a beast like this.

Thanks guys
 


Because hopefully dozens of hours of your time (at least) are worth more than however much the software costs. Just buy it.
 
Yeah, buy it, cause otherwise you''re wasting your time. But if you don't buy it, you need to think about things like javascript interpretation, ajax forms, and recall that every jackass webmaster is different, so they may have multiple ways of naming a form field, so you can't exactly use a dictionary for this. What you can do, is allow customers the ability to "map" a field, back and forth.

But again, if this is not your passion, then you'll probably give up mid way. Look at Awesomium if you want to really go forward with this.

Good luck bro.
 
Don't forget about captchas. Quite the annoyance for form filling scripts. Go spend $100 on a nice set of tools. I don't know what your time is worth, but if I spent more than 1 or 2 hours writing a script, I've already blown through that $100. I actually have no idea how much the software would cost, because I don't buy form filler progs, but it can't possibly be out of your budget if you've got 12+ hours free to reinvent a wheel.
