What type of web code is this form written in, and can I use AutoIt to fill it out?

I do data entry for pharmaceutical research and have been assigned to enter 100 identical subjects into an online database for a mock study. The electronic data capture system we use is InForm by Oracle. Naturally, and to keep my sanity, I want to automate this task. There is no built-in way to copy and paste subjects, so I have to create a script. This is actually the second time I'm entering this many identical subjects. The first time, I created a crude script in AutoHotkey that emulated keystrokes and mouse clicks to fill out boxes, radio buttons, etc. This time, I'd like to write a more sophisticated script through AutoIt.

Unfortunately, the way the forms are coded don't seem compatible with AutoIt's IE functions. I'd post a picture of how it appears in the browser, but I don't have access to image hosting on this computer and can't seem to attach it directly here. Here's a sample of some form code:

<!--crf--><div id=crf class=formbody style=overflow:auto>
<SCRIPT>
oL=top.C.location;dcm=this.document;
oF=t.GetForms(d,'crf');
w=window;t.wndCur=w;
oForm=new t.FS(w)
t.oLastDate=t.oDateErr=null
P1="8833;0;8829"
o1=t.b('18837',1,2,0)
o2=t.b('',8,1,0,o1)
o3=t.a('18839',7,3,1,'"O","DMY","R","DMY","U","0","C","1","T","0"',o1)
P2="8833;0;8819"
o4=t.b('18840',0,2,0)
o5=t.a('18841',5,1,0,'"N","1"',o4)
o6=t.a('18842',5,1,1,'"N","1"',o4)
P3="8833;0;8806"
o7=t.a('18843',5,1,0,'"N","1"')
P4="8833;0;8797"
o8=t.a('18844',5,1,0,'"F","1","P","1"')
t.ASU(o8,'18844',2)
P5="8833;0;8783"
o9=t.a('18845',5,1,0,'"F","1","P","1"')
t.ASU(o9,'18845',2)
function BTN(t,p,a,q){u="./pfts.dll?C=TM_1&SI=40073&NM=0&EQ="+t+"&CT=1&FS=12342;0;1.000&IP="+oF[0].IPA.value+';'+p+(a==1?"&ID=1":"")
if(q>=0)u+=q>0?"&QID="+q:"&QID=0"
oL.href=u}

</div>

This doesn't look like a standard HTML form code, so I'd like to know what kind of code it is (CSS?) and whether I can still manipulate a browser to fill in and submit entries.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
