Hey guys. I have a website I need to fill out my personal info on. I have the following script to add my info into text fields:

Code: 
set firstName to "Your Name"
tell application "Safari"
   do JavaScript "document.getElementsByName('fvFirst')[0].value='" & firstName & "';" in document 1
end tell

I have to select my gender by clicking "male"

I don't know the Javascript code to do so. I posted the source code from the page below if it helps anyone. Thanks so much.

Code: 
<h6>Gender</h6>
<input type="radio" value="m" name="fvGender"/>
<label class="radio">Male</label>
<input type="radio" value="f" name="fvGender"/>
<label class="radio">Female</label>
</div>
</div>

If you can get the form with getElementById() or getElementsByTag(), you can call submit() on it.

In case that's not what you meant, please tell :)

Give the input elements ID attributes, then you can do,
PHP: 
document.getElementById('fvGenderM').checked = true;

Or, since this is only going to be run in Safari,
PHP: 
document.getElementsByName('fvGender')[0].checked = true;

Click to expand...

Your second option did it. it's written as follows for those in need:

Code: 
tell application "Safari"
	do JavaScript "document.getElementsByName('fvGender')[0].checked = true;" in document 1
end tell

Thanks Again.

I want to click the submit button now, but the following code doesn't seem to be working. What am I doing wrong here?

Source page:

Code: 
name="submitButton"/>

I tried the following:

Code: 
tell application "Safari"
	do JavaScript "document.getElementsByName('submitButton')[0].click()" in document 1
end tell

and

Code: 
tell application "Safari"
	do JavaScript "document.getElementsByName('submitButton')[0].onclick()" in document 1
end tell

and

Code: 
tell application "Safari"
	do JavaScript "document.getElementsByName('submitButton')[0].submit()" in document 1
end tell

Any ideas?

Try using a name on the form where you have some action set.
HTML: 
<form name="theform" action="somepage.php" method="post">
...
</form>

Then, for JavaScript,
PHP: 
document.getElementsByName('theform')[0].submit();

It may also work to use,
PHP: 
document.theform.submit();
