I'm writing code to automate the sending of follow up emails from a proprietary site for the sales team I have to submit the emails through this web form but to send it I have to invoke a JavaScript function.If anyone knows where I can go or what I can read to be able to do something like this I would greatly appreciate it.

What does the javascript you need to invoke do. If it just posts the data to another page then that should be simple enough to do.

If this happens to be on Windows, you can host the Microsoft JScript interpreter in your application using the Microsoft Scripting Control. The control gives you an execution environment from which you can evaluate such expressions, and of course load the support code (as that's why you're using JS, otherwise, you could more than likely do it straight from Python).

Yes my primary OS is linux but I do run Windows in a virtualization program. I put it in a box where it belongs smile.gif. This particular program I'm writing in Linux.

So, this is some JavaScript that you're trying to reuse? Is the function obfuscated? It seems like it would be easier to redo it in Python, or possibly even automate it directly in JavaScript within a web browser. I'm guessing that the question isn't really as generalized as it seemed at first, because even if you can find some way to host JavaScript from Python, the function in question probably needs the web browser to even function.
