JavaScript code in a web page that you can see by viewing its source isn't server-side JavaScript. While it does reside on the server, it is passed to the client and executes on the client. Very few web servers use server-side JavaScript (M$ web servers though ASP and Netscape being the two that come to mind) and if they were you wouldn't be able to see the code in action by viewing the source of the web page only by viewing the code that generated the HTML that you are viewing.

      I've followed that link, and it reduces to the first interpretation of my list. The JavaScript simply submits the form request and pops it up in a new window. This is easily simulated with LWP, you just have to get the parameters just as the JavaScript code sets them up. Consider setting up a local proxy server through which you connect with your browser - that way you will see all communication between your browser and the server, and you can replay that communication using LWP.

      I still wonder why you do want to automate querying a FAQ - simply directing users to that page would help them as well.
