Well, when you click (any)one of the "go" buttons, the jSubmitForm function populate the hidden fields of this form:

<form name="Content" method="Post">
          <input type="hidden" name="LinkPage" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="PageType" value="Search">
          <input type="hidden" name="ORG_PK" value="000">
          <input type="hidden" name="STATE_CD" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="Name" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="SearchType" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="CrdNumber" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="SecNumber" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="NumRows" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="Save" value="IAPDSearch">
        </form>

and submit it to the site.

All you have to do is to prepare a POST statement with the fields correctly populated and submit it directly.

I advise you to see the CGI module, with that you can do it with little more than 4 lines of perl.

Rule One: Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man.
