Here is a quick example of using automation with IE



# This is a sample of automating IE using Python.

from win32com.client import Dispatch
import time

# wait for IE.
def wait(ie):
    "Given an IE object, wait until the object is ready for input."
    while ie.Busy:
        time.sleep(.1)




    
# create the browser window and make it visible
ie = Dispatch('InternetExplorer.Application')
ie.Visible = 1
ie.Navigate('http://samie.sf.net/simpleform.html')
wait(ie)

# Some text to add into the text edit box
settext1= 'TEST'
settext1 = '30'

# There is only one form here
form = ie.Document.forms[0]

# Loop thru the elements and count the elements
count = 0


while count < form.elements.length:
    elements = form.elements[count]
    
    # Debug - check variables
    print  elements.attributes
    print "---------------------"
    print  elements.type
    print "---------------------"
    print  elements.name
    
    # Debug - check variables
    print settext1
    print settext2

    # Set text in the text edit box
    elements.value = settext1
    elements.value = settext2
    count +=1

# Submit the form     
form.submit()
wait(ie)
