Is it possible to auto fill the input of another site?

I have a code that is unique to my organization that was supplied by a third party, think coupon code. What i am wondering is, is it possible for me to auto fill the required input box so that the user doesn't have to?

The site is a third party site which i don't have control over and the user would get to this site by clicking on a link on our internal intranet site. I can see this being considered a vulnerability and so prevented, but i was just curious to see if there were any options.

Whether this is possible depends on the site in question. Many sites will extract parts of the query string and populate form fields from them. For example, a link to https://www.google.com/?q=foo will populate the Google search box with the value "foo".

Check whether the site in question does something similar. A good way to do this might be by submitting invalid values to their form and looking for the value you submitted in the query string (this works more often than you might think).

There's no possibility to interact between pages on different domains.

The simpliest way is to embed an iframe but browser will prevent a communication if target is on a different domain.

As it was said in the comments only reconfiguring browser (probably Webkit has an adequate overrides) or UserJS/Greasemonkey are the only solutions if you have no access to the target site.
