Default new user -- part two

for the second part of my automation problem, this involves password protected access to my son's grades. On a semi-regular basis his grades are updated online. To get to his grades after logging in I have to click on an entry on the navigation bar, which has no acceleration key or shortcut; it must be clicked on.I just discovered that I can use the tab key to pop from field to field once any field is initially selected. Eventually I can drill down to the actual grades for each class. Once selected each teacher has a "progress report" and an "assignments" link.

for the progress report that there is a description, a due date, a grade for each item, and some brief free-form comments. Finally there is a percentage for each class with a static heading.

For the assignments, there is a brief free form description,a date assigned, a date due, a grade for each assignment, and a free-form comment.

I want to scrape all this data and stuff that into a database indexed by teacher name and date.

Is this possible using AA, and if so, any pointers as to how I can do so?

Thanks!

Ross
