On Yahoo Finance I can automate specific calls to the Web Site by
changing the URL to:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=msft
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ibm
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=aol

I'd like to be able to do the same with the Web Site:

http://perfectstocksite.com/

but when I type:

http://perfectstocksite.com/q?s=msft
http://perfectstocksite.com/q?s=ibm
http://perfectstocksite.com/q?s=aol

I get an error.  Is there anyway I can do this?

Thanks

You need a ASP.NET (or similar) to process the request.

What scripting/programming languages does your web host provide?

I'd like to just type in the URL in the Address field for now.  Do you
know what I need to type?  The URL's I try don't seem to work.

Try this
http://perfectstocksite.com/stockmarket-buy-sell.php?form_value=GOOG
http://perfectstocksite.com/stockmarket-buy-sell.php?form_value=IBM
I haven't checked but a session cookie might be set the first time it
is used.
