Default Web Interface Brain Buster Problem (for me at least :)

Hey all,
Last time I had a brain buster I posted a msg here and I had it solved
overnight. Though I would see if I could go for 2.

I'm trying to automate the entry of a speedsheet into a webpage form
which serves as the front end for a database.
heres the trick...

The page has several levels of scripting in it which preprocess the
fields before they are submited.
This means that I cann't simple string my data together and submit it.
I have to enter it into the fields seperatly then triger the scripting
event which processes it and inturn submits the form.
After disecting it I've decided the page does this to conserve on
server processing and for data consistancy ( By locking the record and
what not)
Anyway,
is there a way I can reference the componets inside a page to manualy
insert the data before trigering the script with a navigate command??
I'm not really sure how the referencing of HTML componets works, but
the tag for one of the componets is structured like this...

<input type='text'
name='CASE_CALLER_NAME'
id='CASE_CALLER_NAME'
tabindex='40'
value="Sibean"
class='EDITBOX_DISABLED'
style="width:221px; "
maxlength='30'
disabled='disabled' /

an example of a reference call I'm sure would be enough to get me
moving again.
Are there any magic workers out there who can show me the way???
I'm talking about saving days of work with this script, so you can
imagen how happy I'd be :)

PS: I know what your thinking, Why not just have the guys down in the
corprate skunk works pound in a nice little data loader for you. I
thought of that. Guess I'm a little low of the priority to get them to
open up that kind of data entry loop hole. basterds. :)
