Thanks Tangent.

I'm afraid I still get the same error. It seems to be the

 click()

That it takes exception to.

    Can you find the javascript function "dispatch()" and post it here - it will either be on the page somewhere or in an external javascript file linked from the page.

      Sure

      function dispatch(id, cmd) {
  setFieldValue("internal.wdk.wdkCommand", id);
  if (cmd) {
    setFieldValue("internal.wdk.wdkCommandArgument", cmd);
  }
  document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].submit();
}

        OK, so there is a form on the page somewhere, can you post that. It will be the first <form> tag on the page, post everything up to the closing </form> tag.

        Update: I'm thinking now that the site doesn't want you to access in this way - have you checked their terms of service? Do they have an API that you can use instead?

        Oh, I see you have changed that - please indicate when you do.
