Automate login to the Autoit forums

[Valuater]

i know that you can automatically "login" to these forums, however i would like to be able to do it within a script

such as

$web="http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?act=Login&amp&CODE=01&amp&CookieDate=1&UserName=MY NAME&PassWord=MY PASSWORD"

then run $web

I just need this one line, from there i would know what to do

thanks

EDIT**********

even with IE.au3 would be great

my effort

#include <IE.au3>

    $user = "My Nane"
    $pass = " My Pass"
      
    $o_IE = _IECreate (); 0 = NOT VISIBLE

    _IENavigate ($o_IE, "http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?act=idx")
    $o_SearchForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($o_IE, "form"); 0 form?
    
    $o_Keyword_1 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_SearchForm, "text")
    _IEFormElementSetValue ($o_Keyword_1, $user)
    
    
    $o_Keyword_2 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($o_SearchForm, "Password")
    _IEFormElementSetValue ($o_Keyword_2, $pass)
    
    Sleep(500)
    _IEFormSubmit ($o_SearchForm)
    
    _IEQuit($o_IE)

and the source

<td align="right" valign="middle"><form action="http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?amp;act=Login&amp;CODE=01&amp;CookieDate=1" method="post">
                <input type="text" size="20" name="UserName" onfocus="this.value=''" value="User Name" />
                <input type="password" size="20" name="PassWord" onfocus="this.value=''" value="ibfrules" />
                <input class="button" type="image" src="style_images/autoit/login-button.gif" />
            </form>     </td>

I've looked at this a bit and I'm confused about what you are doing.

The name of the form on the forum login page is "LOGIN", the username field is "UserName" and the password field is "PassWord" and there is a Checkbox called "CookieDate".

I think that your "form", "text" and "Password" should be "LOGIN", "UserName" and "PassWord". Also, why the variable names of *keyword*? That's part of what makes me wonder if I really understand what you are trying to do...?
