Filling in a web page with Delphi using TWebBrowser

I use Delphi 7 on Vista. So far, I have implemented a simple browser (using TWebBrowser) but I would like to automatically enter information when the web page asks for it. For example, I want to tell my app to go to Google, detect the Search field, enter a search phrase, and then click the Search button and then get the result.

Can someone shed some light on how this is done?

In the google instance you could simply call the search URL directly yourself.

Eg. This URL searches for 'jam'

http://www.google.ie/search?q=jam&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari

Get your code to change jam for your search string and go to that URL. I hope this is what you are looking for.

You need to use the DOM to do this. The best online resource for learning this in a Delphi setting is at Brian Cryer's site. Take a look at How to read and write form elements.
