Re: How can I automate a task like open browser and click a button?

you can do it as described below - but if you want browser
integration for whatever reason...just useDocumentComplete
 and access the object model to fill in the search box and
submit the form/button.

ex:
html =
IE.Document.frames[1].Document.documentElement.innerHTML

IE.Document.frames[1].Document.Forms[0].submit

This was using some old vb code - events should be the
same/similiar in 2.0
IE was the browser object I started. There were certain
event issues in .net using the library, but haven't tried
the integration with SP1 though but this should be pretty
simple. I had written a site monitoring app this way,
worked decent.
