Can someone point me to some type of sample code that would do this?

That sounds like a high-level task which is easiest (and best) achieved
with one of the "mechanize" implementations, like
http://search.cpan.org/dist/WWW-Mechanize/ (Perl) or
http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/ (Python)
Use whatever language amuses you. There are probably other
implementations in further languages.

I have used the Python module to write an ebay bidding agent in 20
lines, works nicely.
