Is there a reliable way to automate some of this? The same name, address, zip, is captured from one window and pasted to another window with the same open field boxes, name, address, zip. post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.31515 Thu, 26 Jan 2006 01:14:35 -0800 Fishing Nut macro software automation explorer firefox windows opensource freeware http://ask.metafilter.com/31515/Pulling-data-from-one-window-and-pasting-to-another-automatically-how#493935 Greasemonkey is your friend.
