Thanks guys. HTTP::Recorder looks very cool and useful, but it doesn't deal with Javascript either. It just pumps out the code that I'd already tried.

So I tried Live HTTP with firefox. Oh man. I'm not super well versed in this stuff. I've just attached my Live HTTP output below. The only thing I've been able to think to try is to get the ../sipp2005/form_A3.php page "manually" by adding the the ses_id line to the full form_A3 URL after a ?, both with the +'s and with them replace by %20, since they appear as spaces in the page itself. That doesn't work even in my browser, already logged in to the site. Any help is GREATLY appreciated...

There's stuff before this, but none of it, like the login, is javascript dependent, so I can get there fine. I can get to the http://sipp.pu.go.id/sipp/sipp.php?thn=2008&kdprop=01 site just by putting those URLs in after logging (through Mechanize). The thn and kdprop values come from two drop down select controls that use javascript so I can't use them properly but just getting the URL works fine. There's statcounter.com HTTP content after the top one below, but I've deleted that. The second Post is what I need and can't get to work...
