Hi Hans,
I'm sure its possible, though i haven't a clue how you'd go about doing
it. If its just for testing and you don't need it integrated with
python, you might want to check out Greasemonkey
(http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/) or Chickenfoot
(http://groups.csail.mit.edu/uid/chickenfoot/) which make those kinds of
tasks absurdly easy.
