One of the objects of the Windows Script Host has a method for sending keystrokes, which any COM client -- including a VBScript program -- can access. I do not recall the object off hand, but a Google for
VBScript send keyswill probably find it. With that said, I think AutoIt has more features for automating GUIs. If scripting Firefox is of particular interest, I think the best solution at present is the Watir gem for Ruby, which the InRB interpreter incorporates
http://EmpowermentZone.com/InRb.zipOf course, one can also use it with the standard Ruby interpreter. Firefox is not easily scriptable with AutoIt because it does not use standard controls (they are custom Mozilla controls).
