Javascript with WGET?

[SurgeProto]

I was curious if anyone knew if WGET could interpret javascript. I have a form that needs to be submitted once a day. To do that, I build the form to auto-populate and have javascript code that submits the form. The code works fine when I run it in a browser but it's not working through my cron job which uses WGET. I was wondering if there's another way to have a form autosubmit. Thanks in advance.

No, wget does not implement Javascript. What would it use it for (apart from auto-submitting a form)?

You could write a PHP script that generates and sends the form request and have wget call that....

I guess that's more or less what I'm asking. How do I go about doing that?

Oh, there's plenty of stuff written already in these forums about how one can use wget with PHP. A search for wget should have turned something up when you first looked. For submitting forms there are at least two major methods, both described in the manual; the network functions would provide the code for the leanest solution.
