Hello Monks -- I am very new to Perl/modules and posted 3-4 messages so far which have been answered but I couldn't figure out what actually I have to do (my ignorance is solely responsible for that -- not the responders) despite playing many things. So, I am posting again and requesting your help/advise. Here is what I want to do. 1. Go to a secured site, enter my userid/password and press "login" button. 2. Click a named link that takes to another page. 3. Click another named link that takes to another page. 4. I click on a PDF file (that I want to download) and it pops a "File Download" window. I click on "Save". 5. That brings another ("Save As") popup screen which gives the "File name:" & "Save as type:". I accept defaults and press the "Save" button. 6. Download is completed & I press "Close" to close the process. I have a feeling the pages/etc. are written in Javascript. Now -- can somebody please tell (it will be great if you can give some codes with dummy data) what I can do to achieve this? Thanks a lot for all your help. ******************************************************************************* I have ActiveState Perl on Windows XP box & it will be great if something (e.g. a specific module) is available for this system. ******************************************************************************* Jeffa, Anonymous Monk & mr_mischief -- I sincerely appreciate your helping attitude but not getting much materials on Selenium. How about Win32::IE::Mechanize? Please note that I am not designing anything for automated testing -- it's for fetching couple of PDF files from a protected site -- that's all. Thanks agian for your & others help. *******************************************************************************
