Hi Guys,

I've tried to read up on possible soln(s) but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
Also, I'm not a front-end guy, so have no understanding of eg javascript and associated techniques/jargon; strictly a back-end programmer.

Anyway, we want to setup an http check from a nagios server (no gui) to login to a remote website/page and time how long it takes.
Problem is that from a browser, using show src, there seems to be no difference whether logged in or not.
It appears (see below) that the username/passwd area is inside a frame loaded by javascript. (I think?)
Hopefully the below will help explain, obfuscated where reqd.

<title>My Frame</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function frameLoad() {
            var frame = document.getElementById('my-frame');
blah
blah
}

more stuff ...

<div id="content">

        <div class="padded">
        <iframe id="my-frame" 
            src="/some/path/myframe" 
            scrolling="no" 
            width="100%"
            height="0"
            marginwidth="0" 
            marginheight="0" 
            frameborder="0" 
            vspace="0" 
            hspace="0" 
            onload="frameLoad()" >
        </iframe>
        </div>
    </div>

So, I need to somehow 'trigger' the frame or get it? so that I can then put in user/passwd and submit it

If you need more info, just ask.
As I say, I'm not familiar with this sort of programming, so apologies if its a bit vague.

Cheers
Chris
