title: Web Automation - Dealing with .aspx
body: <p>I'm trying to accomplish a little bit of automation which includes submitting a form on a webpage. The values for the form are already coded per item in the list.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried many different modules with Python and nothing seems to give me an answer. I don't have access to Visual Basic and I've personally never dealt with .aspx pages before.
  This is the Form name
      
  And I thought I was set and ready to go when I found the parameters for the form:
      function ShowEditForm(id, param1, param2, param3, param4) #actual parameter names removed for security</p>
  
  <p>And this is the part that's the major headache:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;INPUT id=__EVENTTARGET type=hidden name=__EVENTTARGET&gt; &lt;INPUT id=__EVENTARGUMENT     type=hidden name=__EVENTARGUMENT&gt; &lt;INPUT id=__VIEWSTATE type=hidden value=/wEPDw... #This     continues for 800+ characters
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I believe this is the cause of my failure of code, am I on a witchhunt trying to post to an .aspx form in python?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
